my *2010* has got *one*day*left*...

...but, it's okay.

I've got my *new* Nikon for 2011.

...and yeah, I've been allllllllllll about it this week,

bein' trapped inside for DAYS because of Sunday's blizzard.

I love the sound it makes when it snaps a moment.
[i won't even try to type the sound here.
an onomatopoeia couldn't capture how lovely it sounds.♥]
***

here the babies were sitting by the window as we were shovelling:

They seem just as confused about what to make of all the snow as the NYC Department of Sanitation did for four straight days!

YA PLOW IT, idiots!

Ohhhhhhh...SNAP!

***

they are funny.

***

***

my Nikon's awesomely fast shutter speed

finally

made it possible to capture Carmen's "face".

The face of hers I painted on the pumpkin.
***

the

face...

...that reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield's:

Bwaaaaahaaaaahaaaahaaahaaa!
***

****

so, yeah...my *new* Nikon...it's a love affair...

...can you say "sharp"?
and
"detail"?
♥ my two sleepy babies ♥ ***

So, my *2010*,
tomorrow's the last day of you.
I might get a little teary-eyed,
but i'll stop once I think of
how my sweet little darling baby girl
looks like Rodney friggin' Dangerfield.
So weird.
2011 with my Nikon should be fun,
and
1.01.2011
[which is only a day away]
is the launch of my
*new*blog*

...and gosh darnnit, I've been working all cabin-fevered on it the past few days. I even taught myself some HTML. No joke! You saw these suckers: "♥" all up in this post?

I learned that!

Yep.

Soooo cool.

I'm excited about it.

Hee Hee.

That's about all for today.

I'll have a post up tomorrow, but if you don't visit, then I wish you whole-heartedly, a resounding

Happy New Year!

♥

sooooo...*THiS* was awesome:

yesterday i woke up to a FB message

from one of my oldest friends, Darlene, saying this...

most of the pics you've seen here i've also

posted to Facebook.

it was so nice to read that someone appreciated them,

and hey, even thought I had taken classes!
