I hate Fisher-Price right now. Since my husband's not going to be home at Christmas (he's a truck driver) we decided to have a mini-Christmas yesterday. My daughter got to open her present from her "uncle" (one of hubby's best truck-driving friends). It turned out to be one of those new Fisher Price Kid Tough cameras. She loved it, took pictures all day until it got filled up. So I decided to use the so-called super easy upload feature and get the pictures on my computer. Ha! No driver, software can't tell the camera's there, different size cable from my wonderful Kodak so I can't even try to sneak it on the one that's already installed (probably wouldn't work that way anyway, but a girl's gotta try). Did a search online and couldn't find a driver- just found a bunch of people in the same boat, all of whom seem to have contacted Fisher Price only to be told "the driver's on the disk". Uh... no it's not, I looked. There's no way to email them and their phone service hours are limited and obviously not during the time I needed them to be there.
Now we're going to the zoo and instead of being able to take pictures I have the choice of either deleting all the pictures she's taken or spend another 20+ bucks to buy a memory card. AARRGGHH!!!

Why my Christmas is going to be relatively stress-free
Because compared to getting ready for Walk To Bethlehem this will be a piece of cake- even upside down and step by step (post a comment if you know what movie that comes from). I'm just happy the whole thing's over. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, it was worthwhile, I'm glad we did it. But boy oh boy was it stressful. I think the biggest thing was the fact that it was brand new. That combined with the fact that I'd never been in charge of any volunteer thing before and now it was plopped in my lap and I felt totally unprepared for the challenge made for a total stress fest. And now I can relax, buy the ten or so presents I still need to get, attend all of the other functions I need to attend (none of which I am organizing- yeah!), and keep my kids from ODing on candy canes. Easy peasy could do it in my sleep.
And heck, I've got until February to get ready for the Mardi Gras Ball! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
