No blogging lately because.....

In case you were wondering where I've been, I am sad to report the untimely and tragic death of my beloved Nikon. It was so tragic that I couldn't even bear to talk about it before now. So here goes.

A few weeks ago, I was snapping pictures of Carter playing in the bathtub, and I put the camera on the counter. I took him out of the tub and into his room to get dressed, when he started acting silly. So I went back into the bathroom to grab my camera, and when I stepped away, the strap wrapped around a knob from the top drawer and it pulled my camera out of my hands. I watched in slow motion as it fell to the ground. Luckily I was able to break some of the fall with my foot (practically breaking my toe in the process, but that was a small price to pay), but since my external flash was attached, it put extra pressure on the flash mount and practically pulled the casing apart. The camera had a huge crack in the top and the flash was no longer working.

Tears ensued, and unfortunately, I couldn't even blame it on Ryan. :) So I called Nikon and talked to a lovely customer service representative who promptly sent me the return information. And here we are. I shipped it out last week and hope to get a quote asap...and then they'll ship it back to me.

As a result, there aren't many new pictures of Carter unless I decide to rock my point and shoot camera again. I guess I'll have to break it out and get creative.

Get Well Soon, Nikon D40.

Oh my God! I'll bet you wanted to vomit! So terrible...

Well, hopefully you won't be apart from it for very long!

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
