I just have to say... I love my husband! LOVE the man! I wish I had a camera to show everyone what an awesome job he did in one day, on this room....
Basically, he cleared everything out of a bright red video game room, and painted the walls a muted serene color.... and then moved our three pieces of exercise equipmentinto the room. It has a TV center (small) built in, so once I find a used TV that is larger.... that room is gonna rock! Plus, it's off the play room, so I can put a gate up and watch any kiddos play while I exercise. I am sooo happy with how it turned out! I really wish I had before pics of the dark dreary red cave room.
Tomorrow's plan is to pay the bills and update all the checkbook stuff, so I can see if I have a little leftover to add to some Christmas money. Then I will be promptly checking out digital cameras. I need to take blog pictures and lots of them! I got some suggestions on my other blog.... so I'll ask here as well. Can anyone recommend a good (but not really expensive) digital camera? Thanks!

What a great hubby!! Sounds like a great room. I have a Kodak digital camera I like, but Troy is the electronics guy so I can't really say for sure which camera is best - I know how to turn my on to the regular setting and take a photo and that's about it!!
Rachel- Me too! I know how to add a flash or red eye reduction, and that's about it. I need a camera that just takes a good picture when you snap it. lol!
