I really wanted to head out and snap some new photographs to
participate in Song-ography over at You’ll Shoot You’re Eye Out. I had
made a commitment (to myself) I was going to try really hard to do this every
week. I mean, come on, it’s once a week, I can do that! However, just as I was ready to commit
to make it 2 weeks in a row, something awful happened. I have broken my
camera. Yes, me, not my kids, ME. And I am sick about it. I am always so careful with it
that when my kids ask to use my camera I ALWAYS tell them no at first and then I cave but with rules. And rule number one use the
camera strap to prevent it from falling. And, although they now mimic my advice
with me and may think I am a bit over-protective of the camera, they always
oblige.
How then did my camera “break”? That Damn darn strap
did it to me. It turned on me. It turned right around and used itself against
me. As my camera lay on the table waiting to be lifted to my eye for the next event
to be photographed (my daughter’s first homecoming), it hooked onto the drawer
pull and jumped right out of my hand onto the floor with a loud crash. Followed
by a scream, some words I shouldn't repeat and many tears. I couldn't believe it. I have been so careful
with it ALL THE TIME. And there it lay on the floor dented and broken…with the
strap still attached.
So as I decide whether or not to have it fixed or ask for
the latest model for Christmas, yeah right, I haven’t been that good. Especially
my language as that camera hit the floor! Sorry Santa, I promise, I’ll never
say those words again! I have dug into my archives to honor my commitment to
myself and participate in Song-ography!
