Loving My New Camera: A Few Photos From My New Canon DSLR

Non-Frugal Spending: I Bought A GPS
I have a confession to make. I spent a large sum of money on something I didn’t need this week. I bought a brand new Mio Moov 200 automotive GPS. I know I didn’t need this GPS, but I really wanted it. I’ve been holding off on getting one for a couple of years now […]
