Pregnancy can be a b!#$(


It's been an interesting few months :) First, I waited over a month to get my camera back from the shop. I knew that they needed to order parts for the repair, so I was willing to give them a bit of time to do the things that they needed to do. These guys are amazing, and they are the only ones that I trust. They are complete camera geeks. I mean...they are the camera version of gamers. And I think that they still live in the the film era (they certainly look like it), despite their in-depth knowledge of the digital camera. 

After about two weeks, I called them to see how they were progressing with the camera. Their phone wasn't disconnected, but it also didn't really give me an explicit error. It's almost as if my call just went into some sort of phone call limbo. So, I tried again the next day and got the same results. OK, I thought to give them another week to figure out their phone issues. They always call me when the repairs are finished, so I wasn't too concerned. If it was ready, they would call once they have a working phone. If it takes too long, they will probably call me using one of their cell phones.

A week later, I still couldn't get through via phone, so I decided to drive over there. That evening, Mark told me that I received a letter in the mail from them. This is when I started to worry...their building caught on fire and my camera was on-site....they were robbed and can't locate my camera. GAH! I opened the letter, and it told me that my camera was ready for pick-up. Wha...?? Of course....why would they call to tell me? Their phone is broke, and neither of them probably own a cell phone. No one that dresses like a computer engineer from the 1980's would own a cell phone. But I'm sure that they still own Atari stations.

Finally, with camera in hand, I was ready to start blogging again. But....I was so nauseous from the pregnancy that the thought of eating anything but crackers and cereal made me want to crawl under a rock. I also didn't have the energy to stay awake past 7:30 PM.

It's almost November, and 4 months since my last post. It's taken a long time to get back into the swing of things. We're finally going to the Farmer's Market every week again, and I'm back in the kitchen making goodies most nights. Keep your eye open for some new recipes coming soon!
