The Good, The Bad, The Ugly!
That is how I discribe my day!
The day started off really GREAT!!! Best Friend Nina comes and picks Saira and I up and we head to town. We were taking her truck to get a front end allignment. But that didn't happen, had to get an appointment until Saturday morning. That's alright, we decided we needed to go to Wal-Mart. We don't really know why we went, but do people who go to Wal-Mart like every other day need a reason for going? HEHE! That would be us, we live at Wal-Mart. So anyways, Nina hears a man laugh. It was Chad walking by. I guess I could've mentioned that he didn't make it to work this morning. He had a blowout and had to wait on getting it fixed. So him and his buddy were roaming Wal-Mart. He spots me and we had a fun time picking out a box of chocolates for me. Gotta tell ya, I'm probably the most pickiest person when it comes to boxed chocolates. I don't go for the el' cheapo kinds. It's gotta be either Whitman's or Russell Stover's. OR!!! Hershey's Pot of Gold! Looooove that stuff. So he learned a long time ago not to buy the cheap junk. It will just sit there for month to come. Then he goes and picks out a card for me. We shuffled around the clothing department and didn't find anything I liked. So we buy out stuff we gathered... :) Then Nina, Saira and I go to our favorite all time local Mexican food place. MMmmmm!! Chad and his buddy headed on home because they already ate. Nina and I had more shopping left in us. :) We go to PayLess, didn't find anything. We go to Cato's! BINGO!! I find a 3 piece outfit I just had to have. I call up Chad and tell him I found something I liked and he told me to get it. It was just $55. I did good. :) So I got an outfit, chocolates and a card. hehe!
After I picked Ryan up from school we all got ready to go take Family Pictures. What a freakiing JOKE that was. I've already told Java all about it. I almost don't even want to talk about it anymore. BUT... It's part of my day. So here comes the bad... The kids were complete morons! It really wasn't their fault. There was a woman with a kid who all the sudden decided they wanted to take pictures. My picture lady said no one has been in today, and when I showed up, this other woman shows up. We have not done pictures in a year. ...well, actually we haven't taken family pictures since Saira was 4 MONTHS OLD! She hasn't taken pictures since her 2nd birthday. It's been a year. She was ALL excited! That womans child kept distracting my kids. I was pissed off. I was planning on spending over $100, like we always do with family pictures. Because we get a group shot, a couple shot, dad with kids, mom with kids and the kids together. We left with only a group shot. I cried on the way home. I had been looking forward to having new pictures for my walls for a very long time. My children ended up getting in trouble over it. I know you all might think I'm crazy or something, but I take picture taking seriously. That's why I got so mad over this STUPID woman. My picture lady had them leave, but they came RIGHT back. It just wasn't working.... ANYWHO! Enough of all that. :)
I got a new outfit... did I tell ya that? :) LMAO
Hmm, I suppose that's it. I'll be back with new stuff tomorrow. Ryan has his Valentine's Party. I can't wait to see how it goes. I'm in charge of it ya know. So it's bound to be a big hit. hehe!!!

Forget the photog, my ass would have been right over there talking to that lady! You could have easily done it with some 'cooth', I'm sure! If I find that my kids are distracting anyone, anywhere I immediately remove them! I can't be rude like that!!
Well, I think you made up for it a little bit.... chocolates, clothes and a day out with Nina!
Have fun at the party tomorrow!!
Well...LOL...I did ask the little boy to move out of the way, because he was distracting the kids. I didn't care if his mom or whoever the heck she was thought I was being rude or not. I think they might have taken offense. We were there for like 2 hours working on pics... seriously. Crazy huh?
Oh, I guess I could've mentioned that this portrait studio is older and not like the ones you see in the super centers at Wal-Mart.
oh oh oh, I would of *kindly but serious* ask that woman if she could please take her kid away for a few moments so we can finish up.. Pics are to damn expensive to have them messed up, I am as serious about this as you are, I dnt have the money to have crappy pics that I won't send out or hang up ya know.. Remember that last set we got the boys together for Easter a few years ago. The main pic of Josh for the main package NO ONE noticed he had a big ass hole in the knee of his pants.. Until after she said this the package we can't change it...WHAT? You practically take pictures with an Fing computer and you cant switch the and make one of the other ones for the main package.. UGH Don't get started Ali..LOL
So dont worry I KNOW how you feel!!!!!!
Oh and great song btw!!!
That does stink I would have had to say something to that woman I may be shy but you are there to get family pic's and have memories and plus they are exspensive and I would have had to open my big mouth. like I said I may be shy but don't piss me off. I am so sorry I know you were looking forward to this.
Those are some nice gifts! Sorry you had such a crappy time getting pics done. I have had my share of those!
Sorry the picture experience turned out so crappy. That's great that you got a new outfit, though!
sorry about the picture experience. :(
we haven't had professional pics done since, um... i think 2003.
this nickelback song was the theme song of me and JE's trip to SF. :)
