Waiting.... Polaroid Disappoints...and New Tripod?

Its been a while since I last posted.

We are waiting. Ever waiting to get "the call" from the adoption agency. I know, I know... It hasn't been that long. 8 months since we decided to go ahead and make the dream reality. 7 months since we signed up with the adoption agency. Almost 5 months after being "live" on the website.  So not that long. And as many people remind me, the wait will be long. So sit back and enjoy yourself. Hmm.....

So I spend my time looking at baby clothes online, youtube how to swaddle and go to work, eat out with Mike, visit friends and family.

Which leads me to my next bit.

Polaroid. Oh Polaroid how you disappointed me. I got, off of ebay, the GL10 portable printer that prints in the ZINK (zero ink). I knew ahead of time that it did not work with my iPhone. But the Polaroid website clearly stated that it would work with the MacBook Pro. You see, I want to print out pics when I go to Prague to visit PJ. Thought it would be fun. And nice to have when we have our baby to have prints right there to give to my parents. Friends. Family. Anyone who wants to look at our beautiful baby. Mike had gotten the Pocket Photo by LG which also does not work with iPhone. So anyway I downloaded the software. And guess what. The software says there is a "template error" and the computer does not work with the printer. I emailed Polaroid. Still waiting to hear back. So disappointed. See, I was trying to just enjoy.

On to going to Prague...its in a month and 1 week. I want to bring a tripod to do night photography. But not the huge one that I have that is large and heavy. And a panhead. And a Sunpak. So.... I found MeFoto. They have 3 travel tripods. I am looking at the Backpacker which is the least expensive and small and light. I got an email back from them within oh 3 hours, and they said yes the Backpacker will hold my Canon 60D. Right now, entering their giveaway contest on Instagram for a free one. If I don't win one by the 1st week in Aug (its a weekly give away) I will purchase one. In red or purple. Yes they come in colors. Yes that makes me ridiculously happy. Yes, the man on youtube who mockingly said women will love it because its got color, you are right but then I saw on other youtube videos men with red tripods. So men were happy too.

That is all for now.... I will just go on, enjoying each day, hug my dog, kiss my husband, chill with my friends, visit Prague. And wait. With all of my heart.
