i think it's the 1st pic i've taken with my camera (on manual, even) that basically was not changed whatsoever when i hit "i'm feeling lucky" on picasa. perfectly exposed! or, uh.. does that mean something else?
i was killin' time while chris was at mass, by the way. still figuring out the camera.
--- i'm awake too late!
chris was out late last night, so he was agreeable to hanging out in bed for half the day... big change, since he's usually out of bed long before i even wake up the FIRST time. so anyway, we were lazy today.. ate-breakfast-at-3pm lazy. we watched star wars tonight.. he fell asleep early.. i'm still awake..
but anyway, sleepy. we may take the boat out tomorrow, maybe i can get some more pictures then. i've been reading up a lot, want to put some things into practice!
oh! ha! my "new" phone won't turn on.. since wednesday. i'm cursed. i figured out how to unlock my old nokia from cingular.. but it turns out this model isn't compatible with metropcs since they don't do SIM card phones. bummer, right? so now i have to buy ANOTHER phone. !!!! cursed, i tell ya!
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!"
