My camera died. It was a slow miserable painful death. I tried to convince Aaron that being a blogger without a camera is like being a roofer without a ladder. He kindly reminded me the one is a hobbie and the other one puts food on the table. Point well taken.
The ironic thing is, Aaron and I just put ourselves on the get-out-of-debt budget. Which means no credit cards and anything extra goes to pay off what we owe. Had my camera died last month, I probably would have just gone and charged a new one. This month, no can do.
What is a girl with a blog to do? Well, the good news, is I have still have thousands of pictures stored on my computer (with an external hard drive thanks to Scott, my brother-in-law and personal technical support guy.) I'll just go back in time. They will be like vintage posts. Won't that be fun for you!

I've seen good old fashion film cameras that work reasonably well for around $20. You can get them developed digitally, some mail in places even send you new film and are pretty reasonably priced. In the long run it probably isn't better, but at least you would then have a camera.
Personally, missing a camera is an emergency fund situation, but I don't have many pictures from my childhood, and I wish I did.
Thanks for the idea!
I am desperate enough to go back to film. Desperate times call for desperate measures.You're right, it's better than nothing!
I was at a store today and saw a digital camera for $20. The pictures aren't that great, standard web size, you could get 4 by 6 prints off them and they would look decent. Honestly, film would give you much better results, but I just thought that I would let you know.
Thanks again. I'll keep my eyes open.
