It’s okay that some of us need more motivation than others to blog, right?  I mean, it’s hard to come up with something interesting to say.  And when you haven’t posted in months, it’s easier to continue the trend rather than just start blogging again.

That said, I wish to state my intentions right here for all to read.  I will be blogging at least once per week in 2008, just like my talented and strong sister-in-law Melissa.  My blog has sat cold and lonely during the second part of 2007 and I regret it.  I don’t even think anyone’s checking it anymore, so the pressure’s off, even.  The truth is that I love to blog and I don’t know why I stopped.  Oh, unless you count the undertaking of a graduate degree last January.

Today I received an early birthday present that should aid my blogging efforts.  CompUSA was going out of business nearby and I persuaded Rob to just go in and LOOK around because maybe they’d have the camera I wanted.  I present (through a very dirty mirror)- my new Canon Powershot Digital Elph!  I am having so much fun learning how to use it.  My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have this same exact camera, I think, and I was constantly looking for an excuse to play with it while we were with them over Christmas.  I’m so excited to have a better camera!

My new Elph

I’ll see you next week!
