Jill.e Camera Bag
I got a new DSLR camera, but was having trouble finding just the right bag to carry it in. It’s hard to find a camera bag that doesn’t look like a “camera bag”. I finally got the one pictured above from Jill.e Designs. It’s the only one made of leather that I could find, and it looks somewhat like a large purse. If you are looking for a camera bag designed specifically for a woman, you might want to check out Epiphanie, JoTotes, Kelly Moore, or Emera Bags. I particularly liked the black quilted bag at Emera, but it is out of stock, and has been for quite awhile. Also, the Jill.e bag was the only bag made out of leather that I could find.

Berry Dessert
This dessert reminds me of ice-cream. It’s really good on a hot day. I’m not sure how many carbs are in it, but it can’t be many. I ate this dessert nearly every night while losing 80 lbs.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Frozen Strawberries
1/8 to 1/4 Cup Each of Blueberries, Raspberries
Whipped Cream
Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup
Splenda to taste
Partially thaw berries in microwave oven for approximately 30 seconds. Slice the strawberries and sprinkle all berries with Splenda. Mix throughly. Spoon berries into a parfait glass, alternating with layers of whipped cream. Top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup and serve.

Statue of Liberty, American flag
Happy 4th of July everyone! What will you be doing today? How will you celebrate the event of our independence? I plan on going to our town’s parade this afternoon, and try to get some pictures and having dinner with friends at one of the outdoor restaurants while we watch the fireworks. If you are interested, History.com has some great information about Independence Day and how America celebrates 234 years of independence.

The Millennium Trilogy
It seems like everyone is reading
Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. The three books are:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. I’ve just finished the first two, and plan on starting the third one tomorrow. Each book is about a 4’11″, 90 lb. tattooed girl, who is a computer genius, but also a social misfit, called Lisbeth Salander. She becomes involved in several murder investigations and a dangerous cat and mouse game. The books are very fast paced and hard to put down once you start reading.
