Guess what I bought this weekend? 😀

003

A DSLR!!!

A friend of a friend was selling his Canon Digital Rebel XTi and a BALLER zoom lens for $600 total! Considering the lens-less body of the camera is $750 and the lens I got is $600… I’m pretty pleased with the deal I got! 🙂

006 005

 

In between studying this weekend, I took some time to play with it 🙂 I love photography!!

030

010

026 049

018 001

The pictures are SO crisp, and I love that you can play with the focus:

021 022

 

Mmmm close up of my Oatmeal Banana Coconut Cookies!

012

How cute is my neighbor’s puppy, Wilson? 🙂 (Does anyone else think of volleyballs when they hear the name Wilson?)

037

043 042

 

Yay!! I can’t wait to learn more about it and all the settings 🙂 I have a lot to learn!

It’s rainy and humid today in D.C. — the perfect day for an indoor workout at LA Boxing! It was a smaller class than usual this morning so we did some mat work (a billion lunges/squats/situps/pushups… whew!) in addition to stuff with the bags. Fun! I love that they always mix up the classes. I’m excited because tomorrow morning I’m going in for a personal training session! Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing some of the moves I learn with all of you! 🙂

I just refueled with one of my favorites — Kashi Heart to Heart and Honey Sunshine cereals with skim milk, sliced banana, and berries. Yum yum!!

011

And now I’m off to work and then my last Nutrition class tonight before our final next Monday! I can’t believe how quickly this semester flew by. Tomorrow is my Anatomy & Physiology lab practical exam (ID-ing the bones and muscles) and Thursday is the lecture final. Gah! It’s going to be a busy week.

Have a great Monday, everyone!

…

p.s. You can get FREE shipping on my fANNEtastic t-shirts (orders over $35) until May 4! Use the code MAY1 if you’re in the U.S., and CADMAY1 for Canada.

p.p.s. If you already own one of my fANNEtastic t-shirts — email me (fannetasticfood@gmail.com) a photo of yourself rocking it! I want to do a fun collage of everyone wearing them 🙂

..

Also… stay tuned this week for a BIG announcement regarding where I’ll be moving for grad school in the fall!
