You are only 8 1/2 months old but there are already about a million pictures of you in this world. Between friends, family, and your parents, you have an entire following. You have so many people that wait with bated breath for new pictures that show you smashing food into your mouth or working your rolly-polly skills. You are well loved and well photographed my tiny monster.

Hello readers!! It is a lovely Tuesday morning and it is MY DAY OFF! Woo! What is one to do with an entire day to just lay around and do nothing? Well, I am sifting through my "To-Read" shelf over at goodreads and deciding which new author I need to check out so that I can get us all back on track with our Tempting Tuesdays. So, while I'm finding the next miraculously sinful romance author I thought I would share with you a couple of my recent sins. Mainly Envy and Lust.
A while back I ventured over to a different part of Colorado to visit my good friend Miss Alyssa and her amazing little man, Jonah, from over at In The Land Of Lou. We had a wonderful Mommy day and when it came time to take some pictures of the boys I about cried. I immediately fell in love with Alyssa's sexy camera (Lust). This thing is a beast! It takes the most amazing pictures. Never a blur or shadow or missed moment. My mind zoomed in and I just could not stand one more moment of my life without a camera exactly like it (Envy). So, I immediately race home and tell my husband all about this camera and explain to him how beneficial it would be for us to invest in one.
SHOT DOWN!
We couldn't afford it at the time and we have a perfectly good camera that takes perfectly fine pictures so there was no need for the extravagance of a new, expensive camera. *sigh* I sulked but I understood. Between keeping us alive and keeping our monster living in the style to which he has become accustomed, the camera was a no go.
FAST FORWARD (to last week)
I, apparently, don't learn my lessons because I started lusting after Miss Alyssa's camera again. I knew better. I just couldn't help it. Every time I would look at a blurry or strangely colored picture from our camera I would sigh and day dream of the camera I would never own. So, last week I quit sulking, I put on my big girl panties and told my husband that I want a good camera for my birthday. Things are a little more stable now and we've found a pretty good balance in the finances so I figured I'd give it a go. All my husband said to this request is, "Okay." OH-MY-GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I almost fainted. Instead, I kept my cool. I didn't want to pressure him or make a huge deal out of it or, ya know, pee all over the chair, so I kept my cool.
FAST FORWARD (to Saturday)
We're all just hanging around the house doing nothing then...THUMP. Sean gets up and says, "I think we got a package...". I'm thinking it's another box of baby treasures that my mom always finds at the Arc Thrift Store so I'm already thinking about how we're going to fit more clothes into Liam's packed drawers when Sean dumps a big white box on my lap and says, "This is for Mother's Day, your birthday, Christmas, next Valentine's Day, and next Mother's Day." HaHaHa! I'm thinking something along the lines of, "Well it better be a $9,000 Amazon Gift card or you're out of luck buddy." Instead it contained this bad boy:
The Canon EOS Rebel T2i
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? I, honestly, cried. It is so freaking beautiful and it takes the most amazing pictures! I watched the instructional DVD on focus, lighting, IOS, positioning, and how to use the thing in general and I'm just floored. This camera is everything I ever dreamed of! AND it takes pictures like this:
I have the irrational need to carry it with me everywhere so that I never miss a single picture! I definitely wasn't ACTUALLY expecting a camera, let alone expecting one so soon! My husband is a miracle worker though so I should have just known. When it comes right down to it, he knows when to turn me down for things and when they are truly important to me and you better believe that when it's truly important he never EVER lets me down. I have such an amazing man for a husband, such a wonderful baby boy for a son, and now my own BEAST of a camera!
So, now on top of Envy and Lust, I am also Prideful. I tell you what, I am having a sinful kind of week!
Wrath
Greed
Sloth
Pride
Lust
Envy
Gluttony
Which are you guilty of lately? Why?
