I ordered the 40D! I've been saving and was not far away from having the whole amount when DH mentioned that Mother's Day was coming right up--that was all the encouragement I needed to place the order. It was scheduled to be delivered today. UPS comes to my house almost every day (work stuff for DH). They're almost always here around 12:30 p.m. RARELY later. But today, of course, here I sat, all day, waiting for the guy in brown to come. I had to leave to pick up DD at 4:30. Nobody else was home. I was gone 20 minutes. And of course guess what happened?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!
But wait--I called DH to whine and he suggested calling UPS and seeing if the driver could come back since it was just a few minutes earlier. And they told me I could pick it up at their distribution center. Yesssssssssssssssss! So at 7:30 p.m. I had it in my hands, and I took the above picture.
Now what should I save up for next? :-D
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

AWESOME!!!! Congrats on your new baby, how exciting! Can't wait to see what you 'shoot' with it! :)
Yea, Becky! Timing is everything! I think sometimes that the drivers wait to see us leave the house...they lurk, then pounce. Glad you got your baby! Were you already a Nikon girl? What were you shooting with?
Panic attack in the making. So glad you got it...congrats! Fun shot too.

Congratulations, Becky! I hope you have lots of fun with your new camera; share all the new pix with us! My question about you as a 5th grader--I'm just wondering if you were a mischievous child!
Well now that you have the 40D you have to get all the yummy stuff to go with it...like the battery grip. I am so getting one of those...not because I really know that much about what it does, but because it makes me camera look bigger and more expensive. LOL. Just kidding! (kind of) I am saving for lenses. I am trying to hard not to blow it all.
We should get our 40D's together for a play date....
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!
Yay 40d! Such an amazing camra...now go out and buy the 24-70L and ship it to me ;)
Congrats! This is on my "wish list" as well and I'm saving - you give me hope that it will happen!
Awesome! I am so glad you were able to get it! Have fun playing!
