I love my new Canon EOS Rebel T1i.  I’ve got a lot to learn, but ever since I got my first digital camera in 2002 photography has been a passion.  These two photos are a few of the things I’ve bought to fill out my apartment.  Most of the dishes are dirty at the moment, so the cabinet seems a bit empty.  It’s normally full to the brim.  I have enough settings for 8 people.

I’m looking forward to the coming months.  I’m planning a holiday party for some of my coworkers.  This will be a good début of the dishware, my cooking skills, and my hosting abilities.  Amanda, my sister is due in January.  I’m very excited about the addition to our family.  Plus, babies can be used as chick-magnets ;-) .  I’ve also started planning for the purchase of a house.  It probably won’t happen until after 2010, but I want to get a fixer-upper.  I don’t want it to be falling apart, but it could be in need of a remodel.

Cable and Internet was connected last Tuesday.  I am currently watching the History Channel in HD.  The program is about robot warriors.  I’m a little creeped out by how the military is using robots.  World domination by the machines will be here soon enough.

I definitely like having the whole place to myself.  I can just relax and do what I want in my new place.  Once I get the dishes, I’m going to plan a dinner party to have people over.  That should be fun!
