Researching Sucks.

So I've been looking for a nice little camcorder for Mike and I to use when Madison gets here. I want something inexpensive, but something that won't break right after my warranty is up. I also want something good in low light conditions. And lastly, I need to either have a built in HD or DV tapes with a firewire port so I can plug it into my computer and make DVD's. Yeah. It doesn't look like the consumer can get all of those in one box. I do truly love technology with all of my heart, but seriously... these people that make this stuff need to cut down on how many different KINDS there are. Make one REALLY good one, and stick with it. I don't like sitting here wondering, "Is the extra $12.83 worth it for the other model?" Ugh. FRUSTRATING. I think I've almost got it narrowed down though. Soon enough, I'll be putting little videos of Madison on YouTube for all of my adoring fans so they can see her in action. Well, or lack of action since when they're little I don't really think they do much. Mike and I -had- a video camera. It broke in the plane on our way to Disney for our honeymoon. We have no honeymoon video.

Why my sudden lust for a video camera? The fact that we were watching "Alex: The Younger Years" last night. Alex was the one who gave the tapes the title. He was very amused at himself spitting up and pooping. I absolutely need video of Madison doing these things. Need. So my search will continue.

eBay worked out extremely well for Mike and I. Everyone... PLEASE... if you have extra crap laying around the house, sell it on eBay. I swear, people will pay a fortune for things you think are extremely dumb. AND- people pay a fortune for shipping. Now, granted, I had no idea I was overcharging so much. I made an extra $60 on shipping alone though. So, Madison will have her car seat very soon. Not that we couldn't afford it before, but the extra money is nice.

So it seems that people are liking my blog. I've gotten compliments. I might change the color again so I don't blind people with the bright pink. I like writing in it. Keeps the mind going. Anyway. Back to my research. Wish me luck.

Addon of the day #1: I bought Madison a cute little outfit to take her home in! She'sgoingtolooksoadorable.

Addon of the day #2: It's f*@&ing hot out there.
