Discouragement.

I went shopping yesterday and bought a few pairs of lovely earrings.  This morning as I was taking them out of the packaging to hang them on my earring holder I though "Hey - This would be a great 'real' first post for my blog! A little haul!" I grabbed my camera and when I went to turn it on, it was dead.  It's been a couple months since I've used it so I wasn't surprised.

I tried hunting down the charger and I can't find it ANYWHERE.  I've had my camera for over a year and I haven't misplaced the charger... not even once.  Then I remembered that the last time my camera was used was when my sister borrowed it for her trip down south.  I immediately called her and asked if she still had the charger lying around, and she said she would look. 

Not long after, she called back and said she couldn't find it and that she "distinctly remembers" giving it to me. I tore my house apart looking for the damn thing and it is not here.  I can't remember whether she gave it to me or not when she came back from the trip, so it is simply her word against mine... and if she distinctly remembers giving it back to me, I can't argue with that, can I?  I am so annoyed with myself for not noticing this sooner.  I called the camera store and they said it could cost 50 dollars or more, plus I would have to wait for it to be ordered in. Fifty plus dollars is a lot to spend on something that shouldn't have gone missing in the first place. 

All in all, I am pretty discouraged with the fact that not only am I going to have to spend so much money unplanned but it will also impede with this blog.  I tried taking some photos with my phone but they're far too poor-quality to post here.  Hopefully I can make it to the mall tomorrow to place the order for a new charger.  Tomorrow is a holiday here, but I think the mall is open anyway... Oh well, I guess I'll find out.

Thanks for reading :)
