Remember way back when a few weeks ago when I accidentally inslutted insulted my dear husband *gag* with a post about his less-than-stellar gift-giving abilites?
He just made up for all of those yeas of weird-ass thoughtful gifts.
Yesterday for Mother’s Day, he surprised me with a brand new Nikon D5000 DSLR.
I KNOW.
I KNOW!
Like, he saved, researched, and put on his very own credit card, a fancy pants camera just for me that he’ll never lay a hand on.
*thud*
Being the mad woman I am, I took over 250 pictures yesterday.
I share with you the best with a few nuggets of Awesome at the end.

The gift of that awesome camera makes up for the Mickey pin. I love that he is flying the bird. Your girls are always beautiful. And I did not need to see Adam’s ass crack this early in the morning.

you’re welcome for the ass crack.
Great pictures! I’m totally jealous!!! Can I borrow your husband for the next BIG holiday, so that maybe he’ll give me a camera too?!?
XOXO – Happy Mother’s Day!

yes, you can borrow him.
i can’t guarantee a good present, but you can borrow him.
Years of bad gifts? I don’t think so. Just one gift you failed to see the full appreciation of that I gave you 14 years ago when WE WERE TEENAGERS.
Doesn’t matter, I totally destroy you in the realm of gift-giving. Especially when I can put thought into one for someone who will appreciate it. heh
.-= The Husband´s most Awesome last blog ..Happy Mother’s Day =-.
yeah. you win.
you win 1246 internets.
I thought you took beautiful pictures before you got the new camera. Now you’ll be 27 more kinds of Awesome.
Thanks for the Avitable Ass-Crack at the Crack of Dawn!

At least there wasn’t the shot where my suit made it down around my knees.

i’ve been asking forever too! it’s good to have a focus on what i want rather than just “ohhhh i don’t know… whatever is good”
