So it turns out that I can get the 7.1 MP powershot online for the same price I paid for the 5 MP powershot at Target....
Thankfully, Target has a liberal return policy - I kept most of the packaging and can use the stuff I did throw away from the new camera's box.
I don't often make prints, so the coupla extra megapixels may not make much of a difference, but even onscreen, there is a difference in the picture quality. Plus, I may as well upgrade as long as I'm going to the trouble of a new camera. Plus, you know, SAME PRICE. How could I not?
Not much happenin' here. Still recovering from the weekend. (Well, it's probably not its fault I'm tired.) Still wondering why the hell my jeans don't seem to be getting bigger despite the mostly good behavior and regular workouts. It's really, really frustrating. I'd like to feel like myself again, and right now I feel like a walrus.
Speaking of which, I guess I should go for a run...
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
