1. Get a new camera.

A great big thank you my greatest (and only!) brother - Jeff! I was traveling to Hawaii for work and since i broke my camera earlier this year - i asked him to borrow his camera. and he said no! haha. i thought he was joking at first, but nope - he was serious! lol. apparently, i can't take care of electronics as well as other people - and i'm sure he was worried i'd return the camera to him with scratches all over it! so instead, he surprised me by buying me a new camera as my very belated birthday present....woo hoo! unfortunately, i totally forgot it on the couch when i left for the airport but luckily i had my big chunky camera with me so i was able to take pics on my trip. anyhow, i totally love the new camera - it's a nikon (which i wanted!) and it's plum! thanks jeff! love ya!
