"Come on, Dova'! Move your bloomin' ahss!"

Hello there!

Yesterday was quite the up and down day.

First of all, I slept!! Ambien, my "tic-tacs," are wonderful. Mom and I got dressed up to meet her friend, Jana, and Jana's six-year-old, Bergen, for high tea at the Brown Palace Hotel (suuuuper fancy) at 1:00. I had mango oolong tea. We were there for over two hours but I really enjoyed myself! I'll let these photos speak for themselves.

We were all trying our hardest to be proper ladies.
Did you notice my finger??! : )

the centerpiece.

Bergen "ooh"ing over the dessert plate.

Later, Mom had said we could go to Best Buy to get the camera. We found out that they change their prices every Sunday and it had gone way up, so we had just missed it!!! I was disappointed, and that is a huge understatement. We went home.

Mom sent me out later to get pedometers for her fitness challenge team at work. I went to Walmart, since they are $5 there. I passed by Electronics on my way to Sporting Goods and thought, "Why not?" I asked the first employee I saw if they carried the Nikon D3000. He showed it to me, and the price was $52 less than Best Buy, Target, Mike's (our local camera specialty store), and even Amazon. PLUS it came with a 2GB memory card, a camera bag, software, and a huge how-to book about digital photography and dSLR cameras.

I bought it on the spot.

Me and Allie!!
This is obviously love.

I've been putting it together and playing with it since last night. I'm having so much fun!! Her name is Allie, after two inspiring people in my life right now.

I hope the photo-to-text ratio is more satisfactory this time. There will be even more soon, thanks to Allie!

Talk to you soon!
