Actually, it was the postman ringing once...
The UPS driver ringing once...
And the FedEx guy ringing once.
I knew what was coming... and I was so excited when it came!
If you've been paying attention this past week, you know that my husband left me.
He went to France to work with an amazing photographer... on the beach... at a naturist place. He says he's coming back. I wonder, though. He did leave me with a pile of money and a credit card... for emergencies, he said. But possibly, quite possibly, it was hush money. Leave the wife home feeling secure and financially taken care of for just long enough ... so as not to arouse suspicions. Hmmmm.... I hadn't even thought of that until I started writing this post...
Anyway...
He often buys things without checking in with me. Starbucks, a burrito here or there, a new wallet... a really nice camera... or two... or three... and all the crap that you need to really use a really nice camera... or two ... or three. Oh, and in the old days... all that film processing and developing and printing that went along with creating an awesome portfolio and shareable body of work. Right.
Me... grocery shopping. New school clothes and shoes for the kids. Toilet paper. Those are the things I buy without checking in. Until this week.
Remember what I said the last time he went away? While the husband's away, the wife will play. Only this time it wasn't playing = working out.
This time... I bought stuff.
a super sweet new camera!
A new running bra!
and a new Garmin!!!
aka the Juno bra from Moving Comfort
...in green!
I liked my blue one a lot...
still plan to write a review of that awesome support system :)
tiny, waterproof, dust-proof, shock-proof, takes good pictures and video...
perfect camera for a running mom on the go!
my doodoo phonecamera will have to deal with
its neglect issues on its own.
timing, GPS thingy to let me know how far and how fast...
no more piecing together distances with google maps or by driving around in my car...
no more gauging my pace by how fast I went from my mailbox to the lightpost
halfway around the development...
unless I want to do it that way...
which I might :)
Add to those super cool arrivals, my silly game from yesterday that became my all-time, second most-viewed post in less than 24 hours, skyrocketing me to fame and fortune for all of 10 seconds, and it was like Christmas or my birthday or something.
And I'll tell ya, after getting my goodies and some attention, I feel a whole lot better about holding down the fort. Even if the attention was super contrived :P
Have you gotten anything fun recently? Do you have any of these things? How do you like it?
Remember to enter my giveaway for the Hood to Coast Movie DVD... contest ends Monday!
And you can still play the Match the Rack game from Boobs I Follow... that one ends Tuesday. There will be prizes for the correct guessers!
