decisions...

Ok, so right now I am absolutely having to make one of my most dreaded decisions ever: "What do I want more?"

For years, I have been dreaming of owning a DSLR camera. You have heard me on here, lusting over them, drooling over them, petting them in stores with only a slight shiver. I want one so badly. Photography is a hobby of mine, and I have invested a lot of time in making my photos better. Right now, my point-and-shoot just isn't cutting it anymore. I feel like an artist stuck working only with crayons.

However, as I get more and more committed to this triathlon training, which is another MAJOR life-goal and interest of mine, I am going to need to advance from my sister's borrowed mountain bike to a bike which is made and fitted for me. So, the time has come to buy one within the next few months- so that I have time to train on it before the September Oly distance.

A camera, complete with camera bag, various lenses and kit has become available to me for $500. A freaking once-in-a-lifetime steal.

A bike is going to cost about the same.

I cannot afford both.

This is a crappy decision to have to make!!! :(
