I got some exercise today. I went shopping. What do the two have in common? Well, when I go shopping, I use the chair and wheel myself. I’ve got to build those muscles for the Spring Fling in Chicago next week. I’m getting pretty good at not only wheeling myself around, and taking a shopping cart with me. I hook my feet on the bottom, and push it. Makes for some real work, especially when there’s a lot to get and some of it’s heavy. I ignore the looks I get. Even the ones that can’t quite figure out how I can turn a corner and weave in and out of the aisles.

It’s not as hard as you’d think it would be, and it gives me some independence and freedom to go and browse… I like browsing.

Yesterday was a lot of computer and battery stuff. I was looking for a couple of data cards for the cameras and some rechargeable batteries. When I go for stuff like that, I do a search online for what’s on sale in that line. Sometimes, I end up buying online, but I do like looking at and holding two things to compare them.

‘Pup and I ended up buying a new camera yesterday. I’m not sure yet who will be using it the most. I don’t believe either of us want to have that discussion right yet. You have to wait for the right time for that kind of discussion, prepare your position, rehearse points/counterpoints in your head. Makes for a more rational discussion. Not that it always stays rational, we are, after all, human. But they usually START out as rational discussions.

So, I was looking for some lithium batteries and a recharger for them, and a couple of extra Li Ion batteries for the new camera. I wanted to get another data card, as an extra. Not that we’ve ever filled up one completely, but it would be good to have the back up, if, as has happened before, we leave one stuck in a card reader after downloading the pictures. I hate when that happens, I really do.

Then, I found these beautiful things online. Just what every lady geek should carry.

Purty, ain’t they?

PS: They’re on Buy.com, and my birthday is June 7th…. I’m just sayin’….
