A Canon moment... Get it? Like Kodak?

I thought I lost my camera yesterday. It was a heartbreaking few hours before we were reunited. I won't pretend like it was the end of the world because really, it's just a camera. But I love that camera and when I realized it may have been gone forever, I got really stressed out. The kind of stressed out where I stop functioning and can't make decisions. Jess had to call the restaurant, where we figured I had left it, because I couldn't even decide if that was a good thing to do or not. She didn't get through but later encouraged me to try again. Which I did. No camera. We tore apart my car and searched the crevices of my apartment. No camera. I completely shut down then, assuming all was lost. That's it, it's over. Someone found it in our booth and took it home. Bastards. Now I'll have to spend at least $300 to replace that little camera that I loved.
Fortunately Jess was much more rational and convinced me to drive back to the restaurant so we could search for ourselves. Sure enough, someone else, someone I hadn't talked to on the phone, said they found a camera the night before. A cute little silver Canon.
I know it's just a camera, and it's not like I'm even a photographer or anything. But I admit, I kissed and hugged that camera for a few minutes after it came back to me. I'd show you a recent picture that I took with it, sorta like a tribute to how glad I am to have found it, but Brad's doing important things on the computer that I normally use to upload photos, and I don't have time to wait. I have to go do the homework I put off all weekend.

I'm glad you two were reunited and it feels so good. (Sorry - couldn't help it...)
Yes, it is good to be reunited with those you love :)
I would have totally flipped, too, if I had lost my camera. And I don't use my nearly as much as you use yours. And, I didn't even pay for my own camera. You would have done the same for me in my moment of crisis. I'm glad you found it. Reminds me that I need to do something with all the pics on my camera. I recently lost a flash drive. Thankfully nothing important was on it, but I was still pissed that I lost that dang thing!
I would have had a meltdown if I lost my camera. I don't even particularly like my little point & shoot camera but there are so many pictures on it, and I take it everywhere just to snap pics of random occurrences (and seriously - you never know when something totally awesome is going to happen like a man giving birth or something and I want to be sure I have my camera with me to take that picture!).
i would be devastated if i lost my camera so i completely understand :)
