a day in the life of sleepyeve

I’ve been a lot flakier as of late with my blogging. Hard to keep up with it when I get busy and tired so often.

Christian and I took Wednesday-Friday off last week and went on a couple of outings. First off, coming back to work after taking a few days off was REALLY hard. I already can’t wait until the weekend ’cause man do I miss it!

Anyway, on our Wednesday off, we hit Santa Cruz (this was the day before the Summit fire started and no, we didn’t cause the fire).

I took this picture while we were walking along the beach.

While it was kind of funny to see a bird trying to squeeze the last drops of Coors out of this can, I was also pretty disappointed that the can was there on the beach in the first place. I mean, Santa Cruz did a really good job of placing bright red trash cans all over the beach and STILL this can was out there in the middle of the sand. I’m no tree hugger or anything (though I have nothing against most tree huggers) but REALLY PEOPLE?!

Anyway, that was my little rant for the day.

My 50mm lens busted for the first time last month. We sent it in for repair immediately and when it came back, it had a tiny black artifact in between the inside of the glass. I decided to try the lens out anyway at our friend’s engagement party JUST to see if that black spot would be noticeable in the pictures. I took about 3 pictures before the front of the lens zipped itself right off while auto-focusing. We sent it back in a second time. Today, I got the lens back for a second time. I took the lens out of the secure double wrapping, took the lens cap off to look at the glass, held it up to the light so I could make sure the black artifact was gone, and BAM. The front of the lens came right off and smacked me in the mouth.

So we’ll be sending this lens back in for a THIRD time.

I haven’t been feeling well the past few days and it’s made me a little cranky. I was really looking forward to this lens finally getting fixed. Getting assaulted by my lens has not helped my mood.

The Canon repair team is really testing my patience.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! How cute is this??!
