So yesterday, a wonderous suprise arrived at my doorstep, helped along it’s way by faeries and leprachauns, no doubt…. my new camera!  What a perfect present for St. Patrick’s Day!

Funnel called me to let me know it had come, and that he was unpacking it.  It made for a long afternoon at work.  I came home, shot a bunch of photos of random things in our kitchen, and then hopped in the shower.  When I came out of the bathroom, the second suprise of the day awaited me… our friend Jason Rainey.  (by the way, Jason Rainey has one of those names.. where you can’t say the first name without saying the last name.  He’s always “Jason Rainey”)  Jason wanted to take Funnel and I on a suprise adventure.  No details were disclosed, other than it would be a great opportunity for Funnel and I try out our new camera.

First we stopped at UDF for gas & beverages.

Then, we drove around, and ended up at Jason’s friend’s old farmhouse, where we parked our car, and walked back to an almost-completed earthship!  If you don’t know what an earthship is, it’s a house made partly from recycled materials (like tires and bottles), and is usually self-sustaining.  Funnel & I hope to build an earth-sheltered home one day, which is kind of in the same family as an earthship.  I thought it was pretty cool.

Afterwards, we went to McDonald’s for a Shamrock shake, but they were sold-out.  Lame.

I’m probably going to be taking tons of photos the next few weeks to get myself aquainted with all the features and controls.  Any requests?  Want to see the inside of my closet?  a sunset?  a self-portrait? ((I love assignments.. I think that’s why I always loved school.))
