Bootcamp Day 3 (yesterday) was great.
Wednesday was horrible though.
My calves and hamstrings were so sore I could only walk on my tiptoes. And I had one of the WORST headaches I have had in a long time. I was in bed most of the day.
But anyway, Thursday was amazing! I really enjoyed the class- even with lots of squats and squat holds. It was brutal, but I loved it. The 5 minute work out (also know as when I threw up on Monday) actually felt a bit easier.
Thursday was so busy – I was up for 22 hours straight. I woke at 2:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep. I had bootcamp at 6am, headed home to add some food to the crockpot, went to the conference room upstairs in my building and got some bill-paying and email-returning done, then went to the loop for a long lunch with a good friend. It went a bit longer than I thought it would and I had to rush home to change for my 4:15pm volunteer gig at the AIDS Foundation of Chicago World of Chocolate event.
Yes, ladies, it is exactly like it sounds.
Expensive chocolate, a BIG ballroom filled, all free to taste as much as you want.For some people, that would be HEAVEN!
I am not a big chocolate eater/lover, but this is my second year helping out a friend at the raffle/questions table. it was great fun, but I didn’t get home until almost 11pm. By the time I got ready for bed and got off the phone with a friend, it was 11:45pm and I didn’t get to sleep until 12:30a. Whew!! Looooooong day.
I spent the day today BUYING MY NEW CAMERA!!!!! 
My mom she would help me buy it as a birthday/Christmas present– I got a Cannon XT1 and I am SO FREAKING excited! On the down side, they did not have my actual camera in stock, but since I bought it from the ABT store, they let me take home the floor model and will call me next week when my new camera comes in.
I have not had time to play around with it but the rest of my night (except for a break to say goodbye to Monk) will be learning how to use the darn thing– so many bells and whistles!!

One of my cameras is the Canon XTi and I love it although I still have a soft spot for my Elan IIE SLR. I guess I don’t want to give up the old school ways and enjoy shooting with film. I did have to change the white balance factory setting on the XTi because lots of my pictures were on the dark side even with proper light or flash.
I got another new digital point and shoot yesterday which is my mother’s x-mas present to me. I like to have a small camera in my purse at all times when I don’t want to lug the SLR or DSLR. I got the Canon A1100 since I broke my old pocket digital.
Have fun playing with it and let me know if you have any questions about it.
I just watched the last Monk last night online…. I thought it was one of the better show endings I’d seen!!
