I Moan, I Groan, but He really is a GREAT HUBBY!
A few months ago, I made a deal with my sweet hubby that the next time he won any money at the casino I would get to buy a new lens for my camera. I thought this was a sure bet because that man is the luckiest man I know. He normally wins every time he walks in the door. And I’m not talking about 40 or 50 dollars. Well, he went on a losing streak then quit going altogether.
Friday night, he decided to go to the casino for a little bit. It’s only 30 min from our house. At 2:00 am I finally went to sleep, worried about him but exhausted. When I woke up yesterday, he informed me that I could order my lens!!!! He won $600 which was exactly what I needed for the lens I wanted.
Well, being my cheapskate self, I decided that was just to much money to spend on a lens. Guess what, he ordered it anyway!!! I will have my new lens in about a week. So as much as I bitch about him, he is a really good man.
This is a picture I took of our hands in december. I was trying out making my own apeture mask. Those hearts are not photoshopped in. They are the caused by christmas lights hanging in the background with a heart shaped cut-out over the front of my lens.

Today we went to play golf. I have only played one time in my life ever. I really suck!!! Hubby says I played the equivalent of 90holes because it takes me so many swings to actually hit the ball!! I just keep looking at it as a good workout. My arms are already sore. My legs are getting there. I refused to ride in the cart. I tried to talk him out of getting one because it would be great exercise, but no go. Suprisingly, my 9 year old daughter was pretty good. She didn’t hit the ball far, but it was straight everytime. And honestly, she hit it almost as far as me!
I also thought you guys might like to see a picture of my little family. I took this before christmas to use on our card.
