I AM SO HAPPY!!! I finally received my camera back from Nikon and it’s fixed! I feel complete again. It’s really strange how incomplete I felt over the last two months. Who knew not having a “thing” would affect me the way it did? It’s not like I wasn’t able to live the rest of my life without my camera. I could have—as peculiar as it would have been. I just felt like all of this creativity was bottling up inside me with no way to get out. I felt like all these life events were happening and I had no way to catalog them. Sure, I had the point and shoot to preserve these memories, but that is like going from a loud, vibrating Harley to a playing card in my bicycle spokes.

I can release it now! I can be creative again. I can preserve the memories… and I can wear leather chaps if I want!
With my camera back and my creativity once again unleashed, here’s the next edition of Fame & Shame:
SHAME
- Gas Prices: They’re starting to creep back up! Ouch.
- Mud: Last week, one of the Shames was “Car Detailing,” and this week it’s “Mud” because my truck is still a mess. By the time I actually clean it up, it will take me hours… yes, hours. I am NOT looking forward to this.
- Wire Hangers: It’s taken a while, but I have finally rid my house of all the wire hangers. They tangle easily and they leave little, wicked marks in the shoulders of my blouses. And, I don’t iron.
FAME
- Sunrises & Sunsets: They are just plain beautiful!!
- Delivery Trucks: Be it FedEx, UPS, or the good ol’ U. S. Postal System, I love delivery trucks. They make the world go ’round… AND, they brought my camera home!
- Family & Friends: Because both of my parents came from really BIG families (9 siblings in my mom’s and 8 in my dad’s), I have LOTS of family – more than I can even keep up with. And, I have some really great friendships… some which span more than two decades and some from all over the world. I am thankful for all my family and friends. They remind me how lucky I am and how I have been blessed.

Family
- Until next time, be positive, be happy, be healthy, and don’t forget to be photographed.
