I have the best daughter in the world!!!

So I have been complaining for the last few weeks about how my camera doesn't work right anymore. The pictures are all grainy and it just shuts itself off after every picture I take. It has become very frustrating.

His only response was I suppose you need a new one. Well Yeah! Scrapbooking is my thing...what is a scrapbook without pictures?

Last night when I got into bed it was 11:48pm; I turned the TV on and was flipping through the channels and on QVC (which I never watch) they had their Today's Special Value (which apparently is 1 item per day which is super cheap). It was a camera (not nearly as nice as the one I had but a basic point and shoot), not only was it marked down for the day but they were giving you 4 months to pay for it in payments. Now $100 I could not afford but $25/month I could!

So I ran down stairs and turned the computer on and hurried to the website to get this camera I HAD TO HAVE! (After all I only had about 6 minutes left because I took the time to watch the promotion). It was all good my order went through and I was getting a Fuji something or other down from $250 to $100.

Today Kirk & I were sitting there and I thought I should mention this purchase. The one thing with us has always been if it's over $100 we discuss it first and really decide if we need it, but he was at work and I only had 6 minutes left... no time for discussion.

Of course as soon as I said I was watching QVC he expected the worst and was relieved when I finished as he knows a camera is a need for me.

So on to the best daughter part..
Tonight I was taking pictures of stuff to sell on Ebay and Hayley was helping me.
When my camera kept shutting off I said, "ugh I can't wait to get my new camera"
Hayley said "what?!"
I said, "Oh I bought a camera on TV last night"
She looked crushed and I didn't get it
Then she said, "I've been saving all my money so I could buy you a new camera!"
Oh my gosh I knew she was saving up for something but I had no idea. She had saved $125 and was going to spend it on me.
How sweet is that?
Of course I wouldn't want her to spend that much on me but the idea that she would makes me feel wonderful!

Do I have the best daughter in the world or what???
