So I go outside to take a picture of the boys playing in the snow and my Rebel T1i screen looked really weird when I snapped the picture. It had lines through it. I took it inside hoping it was just cold and let it warm up a bit but it kept doing the same thing.

It won't write to the SD card at all.
We bought it at Fry's in Seattle and the process to get it repaired is crazy. They don't usually deal with out-of-state repairs, apparently. (What people don't ever move or buy while traveling?) But at least we bought an extended warranty and it will be taken care of. Probably not before Christmas though.
I'm so sad.
(confession, I was in tears earlier. Stomping around the house. I'm such a drama queen.)
