Ryan gets things done :)

Some background: In May, Ryan bought me this cute little digital camera. I love it, so I was crushed when, 5 months later, it simply stopped turning on. We'd recharged it right before the camping trip and then couldn't take a single picture. Much jiggling and shaking and grumbling was done, with no results. I even took it to a local camera shop, where they said the battery was fine and perhaps the camera was broken. Since I hate making phone calls like that, I was most displeased.

Fast forward to now. Or, at least, to recently (a few days ago.)

I was a little stressed about all the phone calls I had to make - camera, 2 bakeries, flower people... Ryan offered to call the bakeries to help me out. Then he agreed he'd also try to call the camera people, too.

"Sometimes I manage to get the battery in correctly," I said. "That's about all I can handle with the camera."

Which gave Ryan an idea...

He took the battery out of the camera and then tried re-inserting it in different directions. He met with much resistance, but eventually he was able to shove the battery into the camera another way. Immediately, the camera turned back on, no problem. Yay!

Ryan playfully bragged about his obvious talents: "I'm so good that tomorrow, the bakeries will just call me!"

Well, they didn't do that. But now I have a fixed camera, appointments for taste testing at two bakeries, and an appointment with a flower consultant, so things are looking pretty good!
