Now, I want to tell you what I was going to do;
I was going to take all the cameras in this house and take a picture of them, then I realized I already did that back in 2004. This was about the time I was begging for a new camera.
Top Left is my first digital. Then the one right next to it was my second. The bohemith next to it is Shea’s camera and the one on the lower center is Shaun’s.
Since then, I have gotten THESE:
Kodak DX7630 (gave it to my mom, though)
Kodak Z740
Nikon D70
Nikon D70s
Alyx has gotten a Kodak, Marina has gotten a Kodak, Dan gave Kara his old Olympus. Kara and I have Polaroid cameras.
When I tell people we have that many, I hear, “Holy…” or “Why?” Because it’s a sick, sick, addiction. I need help. I know. (I’m a fan of Kodak. You can throw them across a room and they keep on working….except when they don’t.)
BUT, that isn’t my HOLY though.
My friend called me yesterday and in her rational, calm voice she said, “Ashley (her step daughter) was in an accident.” and today she sent me a picture of the car. The first words out of my mouth was, “HOLY SHIT!”
Ruka became a full time step parent about 5 years ago. I found out with a phone call where my friend in her rational and calm voice said, “Ashley’s mom died.” It was from a car accident.
We’ve been through a lot; Our teenage years, her uncle’s death, her sister’s mental health, our problems, becoming a step parent and now this.
THIS, THIS has changed her. She called Ashley ‘her daughter’. Ashley is now hers. I feel REALLY sorry for Ashley because she’s not going to tippy toe around anyone about anything anymore. Ruka has just taken the parental reins and I feel sorry for ANYONE who tells her how to raise her from this moment on. *shaking head* Back away people, Ruka isn’t ‘step’ anything—-anymore!
But, just to make sure you all don’t think I’m TOO serious all the time, here is my HOLY; (Yes, Joel…i’m a pagan and i’m going to hell…you can stop praying for my soul)
Thank you Shell for the Rosary!!
Okay, DID YOU PLAY?

Great spf. I played too.
Sad, but great button.
FIRST!!! I can’t believe it — you played early! ;-)
Aw, I don’t know about you going to hell — maybe religious people need more of a sense of humor? Anyway, mine is a holy mixture, too. LOL!
Aw, Connie beat me — I shouldn’t have gotten so cocky.
And I played, in case you can’t tell from the above.
I just love that button!!
I played.
The button is classic and Shell makes bomb diggity rosaries, huh?
i’ll play in a bit
Great button. Sad story.
I played.
I so need a new camera! Love the rosary and the button.

I Love the button. And thats such a sad story, I was so surprised when i heard. Ugg I really want the Kodak Z740 i cant believe your going to make me pay $250 for it when i make $20 when i work.
GAH, Mom. Poor Kara.
Holyshit is right about that accident! Sheesh!
I played too, for once…pagan that I am :-).
I, for one, understand your camera addiction…I have the following:
3 Nikon D100s
1 Nikon D70s
1 Nikon FM (film)
1 Nikon F4 (film)
1 Nikon Coolpix 995
a collection of lenses, flashes, reflectors, lights and umbrellas that defies logic.
When you posted over at my site last week you mentioned the “glass” and yes…I have thrown an insane amount of money on all fixed 2.8 Nikon glass, but its worth it in the end…the best part is that I get to write if off:-) If it makes you feel any better I buy most it used.
The D200 is very close to being mine as well!!!
Oh yeah…I played again this week, so come on by!
She’s going to have to earn it.
I played!
Holy freakin’ crap. I can’t believe anyone walked away from that car! It gave me chills.
On another note: nice cameras! :)
Oh my God, that car! Is she OK? Wow!
Yes, I played – great button!
You’re never seen the Holy Grail, Kristine?! Gasp!!! Go out and rent it. It’s a hoot!
Love the cameras!! I get that too from people and I only have 3! People just don’t understand! Good thing our hubbies do though!!
My hubby would love that button!
I played, what perfect timing for mine.
Yes, she’s okay. NOTHING EVEN BROKEN. She’s pretty tore up though.
That’s a great theme for this week :)
I played.
I played too!
Glad Ashley is okay.
That button is hysterical.
You look quite beautiful in that last picture.
i played this week.
I love your camera collection. I’m working on one myself.
I’m glad Ashley is okay. That stuff scares me to death as I’m going to have a new driver in my house soon.
I played.
You have quite a collection of cameras! All of those pictures are very pretty of you. I love that Kara is in your comment section. Geez Mom!!!
I played too, happy Easter!
Holy cow, looking at that car, it’s amazing anyone survived.
I’m working on a camera collection myself… hubby doesn’t understand why I need a pocket sized digital so that I can carry it everywhere I go. There are just too many missed Kodak moments.
btw- I played.
That car picture is scary!
Just for the record, I’m a Christian and I think that button is hilarious!
I played!
love what you did! I played here:

peace out! jean xox!!!
You are not a pagan. You might walk slighlty pigeon- toed. You might also suffer from camera worship. Seek help now.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, it is Good Friday. See you later ;)
Oh and the car,,,,, THANK THE LORD, What a miracle Ashley survived.
So is Ashely OK!??! That picture is incredible.
I played and I love that Jesus was behind your couch. Sneaky bastard, he’s been hiding in my coat closet all this time.
Heh tis amazing what will happen when you leave out a letter in your web address. Click on my name in my previous comment and you might have a seizure.
OMG I need that button. Searching ebay right now.
I cannot believe that girl was fine. You can’t even tell what kind of car that was!
Someday someone is going to have to teach me how to take a good pic.
I’m glad you love the rosary. I loved making it for ya.
I played too!
That is one of the worst accident photos I have seen in a very long time. I am so glad to hear she is just banged up.
Love the button.
Camera addictions are ok. I’ve got a few as well, working my way up to the big girl camera.
I took the week off.
Sad Story, hope she´s fine. Like the button, too.
I played!
Shit! I commented about SPF on the wrong post. I was wondering why everyone was talking about American Idol.
Anyway, I played http://www.aardvarkartglass.net/blogpage

Oh my, that car looks so scary! Thank God she survived!!
That is a lot of cameras girlfriend!!

That car is so, so scary! I hope Ashley is OK.
On a lighter note, I love the button! Too funny!
I didn’t play this week – too busy.
I played!
Holy moly – that’s a looooot of cameras.
The first thing I said when I saw that terrible picture was, “Oh Jesus!” and then found out he was behind the couch all along. So glad that Ashley is ok.
Hee hee. Ashley is okay. THANK GOD!
I miss you Von Kranki!!!
AHAHAHAHH!!! I just laughed 5 minutes straight at that button! Mine’s up!
