Tuesday Night Special.

Last Tuesday night, it was Sisterfriend's turn to cook dinner. {We cook for each other once a week} So, we go over to their apartment. And guess what she made. Mac & Cheese! What a treat. And boy, was it delicious. 
I ate way too much. But tell me, how do you use self-control when there is Mac & Cheese in front of you? If you know the answer, PLEASE let me know.

{Sidenote. Sisterfriend & HeyBrother both have these awesome film cameras. And EVERYTIME I go over there, I ask if I can borrow one of them to go shoot some pictures. Seriously, EVERYTIME.}

When we went over for Mac & Cheese, it was the same old routine.

"Can I borrow your camera. Just for, like, a day." I beg.

Sisterfriend responds with, "We'll see." Which is her response to anything that is asked of her. Anyway, we ate dinner. Like I said. Too much Mac & Cheese. 

Then Sisterfriend and HeyBrother scurry upstairs. Nothing suspicious. They do lots of  scurrying. But then they come downstairs with a GIFT!

Yes, a gift. For ME! It is an early birthday present. My birthday isn't until April 19th. But they want me to have it NOW. And so I open it. And IT IS WHAT MY HEART HAS ALWAYS DESIRED. My very own RICOH FILM CAMERA!!!

I'm pretty sure that I raised my arms and said, "Steve Holt." That's how excited I was. (Sorry 'bout that guys; how embarrassing)

Luckily, they both gave me a sympathy laugh.

For those of you who don't know Steve Holt, you can meet him on Arrested Development (the T.V. show). It is amazing and will give you an endless number of laughs.

Back to the gift.

So, yeah, I now I am the proud owner of a Ricoh KR-5 SuperII camera. It came with a 50mm fixed lens. I adore it. I am still learning how to use it... but don't you worry, I will show you my progress as I make it.
 Here it is! What a beauty. Practically in perfect condition.

I am one happy girl! Thanks for the amazing gift!
