Such a great weekend…

I had Saturday off, but offered to work a coworkers shift so she could go out of town. Which I would only do b/c I love my job. :)

Before work I had the pleasure of eating lunch with my old roommate/road tripper Adam, and Jessica gill. They are such a blast. Over the last month I have had the great opportunity to meet up with quite a few BGers. Three weeks ago I had dinner with alexis, and last Monday I had lunch with tara, and then adam this past weekend.

Anyways, after lunch I went into work, which is always entertaining. I was closing on Saturday, so it was me and two other coworkers. For 3 hours, we had no appointments, and no calls and no one stopping in. so sam and I took funny pics with our point and shoot cameras, and brian surfed the internet. Until our last appointment showed up.

Ok I have to vent for a minute about this appointment. I know not everyone in the world is as smart and handsome as I am (ha HA) but these people were pretty much morons. Here are a couple examples.

1. The family was a husband, wife and 3 year old girl. I go back and ask if they are ready, they say yes. We go into the camera room, and I start to get them in position, and the mom asks if she can fix her daughters hair. I say yes.

On the inside I am saying, “WHAT THE CRAP?!?! I JUST ASKED IF YOU WERE READY AND YOU SAID YES?!!?!?”

2. When they are finally ready, I tell them to both have a seat on the ottoman, and have the little girl sitting in their lap. So they couple goes and sits down, and the little girl is sitting in her stroller thing. So they start asking her to come sit with them. Both of them are talking to her like she is a grown up and can actually reason for herself. So after asking her nicely to come sit with them, and she blantantly ignoring them, they turn and look at me with eyes saying “what do we do now?”

I look at them and say very matter of factly…

“Get up. Pick her up and move her.”

In my mind I said “ ARE YOU FRAKING KIDDING ME??!?!?! WHO GAVE YOU GUYS PERMISSION TO PROCREATE??? PICK UP THE LITTLE BRAT AND MOVE HER, DON’T TRY AND REASON WITH HER, SHE IS ONLY 3 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!”

3. Now that they are finally in position, we have to wait for the little girl to finish chewing her mouth ful of cookie.

Kyle’s Helpful Tip #453: DON’T GIVE YOUR KIDS COOKIES MINUTES BEFORE A PHOTO SHOOT. THE PHOTOGRAHER WILL APPRECIATE IT.

3. Eventually my coworker came in to help, b/c I must have been speaking French b/c the family didn’t understand anything I asked them to do. But no, they were just idiots b/c they wouldn’t cooperate with my coworker either.

In the end it was a good sale, and they left happy. So we left happy.

OH and my little niece lana stopped by and was in such a terrific smiley mood. Man I love that little peanut. And her mom is pretty cool too I guess… ☺

Sunday, I worked like always, and it was so hilarious.
Here is an example of our fun working Sundays:
1. sam booty dancing up on me and casey, and then finding out teri hates to have butts on her.
2. The assistant manager purposely talking like she is mentally handicapped during a sale.
3. Sam and I trying to get our butts as close to teri as possible while she is in a sale.
4. Making fun of people walking in the mall, which is an all time favorite.

Today is one of my 3 days off this week… so I and just hanging out at home until tonight… tonight I will parrrrrrty… my coworker Alyssa turns 21 today so we are going to a party at her place, and then some of us from work are taking her out this Friday after work… so much fun will be had.

In other news, I’m 3/4 of the way through with book 3 this year. Which reminds me of one of my resolutions:

1. Read at least two books a month for the entire year.

Well, that’s all… Hope everyone is having a splendid new years!

Love ya,

i love books...

i do.

i love reading. i have read two books already this year. the only thing i hate is finishing a book. i always get sad. I feel like the people i read about become my friends, and when i finish reading, i have to say goodbye to these great friends i just met.

i had a great new years eve. and i'm looking forward to a great weekend.

still working on my resolutions. but the main one will be to be happy and content in life. i think if i can manage that, everything else will fall into place.

working on a couple different projects. starting to network down here to get more freelance photo business...

2009 is going to be a great year, i can feel it!

love ya'll

i had a fantastic day at work yesterday... which was nice because tuesday was rough.

last night i did two shoots all on my own. One was a newborn, which was a first for me. And the parents loved the pics... i even got one of the baby flicking off the camera (which they bought an 8x10 of) and then i shot a couple, who were kinda awkward, but loved their pics. the wife of the couple told me she felt like she has known me for ever. to which i replied
"thats because we're bff's!"

she cracked up.

anywho.

i finished my xmas shopping today. i started it on monday. not too shabby!

life is grand! tell your family and friends that you love them!

love you all!

i just realized yesterday that christmas is next week. hmm i've only bought gifts for 2 people... its crunch time!

work is going fantastically... the holiday season has definitely been insane. but we are managing to deal with all the craziness.

my coworkers asked me on sunday if i liked musicals. i was really confused and asked why. apparently i sing everything at work... like if the printer is out of paper, i sing it. or if our 4:30 appointment is 20 minutes late, i sing it. needless to say, i amuse my coworkers.

this weekend i went to a party at my soul mate's bf's house. it was so much fun and so much insanity. speaking of my soul mate, we don't have any shifts together this week. sadness.

anywho... yesterday was a great day... it was a cousin day. my cousin karen and i went to Webster Fl, which is pretty much one stop sign and a GINOURMOUS antique flea market. then we had lunch with my aunt, then off to my cousins house to use the internet. then shopping and dinner with my cousin and her husband, and then dinner and watching Baby Mama.

twas a good day.
:)

thats what a sign on the side of the road said as i was driving into town yesterday... not sure if it meant fish or hair...

and then today i saw a man with a sweeeetly disgusting mullet in the mall... my soul mate and i like to make fun of the ugly people we see in the mall, and the ones that come into the store...

i think i might be hanging out with some coworkers this weekend after work, i can't wait. that is going to be such a great time. considering how much we all laugh and joke around at work, we are going to have a blast!

yesterday was the perfect day off work. i went to my grandparents for a bit, went to a couple thrift stores, had lunch with my aunt, watched tv, went for a run and then made dinner. and the weather was AMAZING. sunny and 75. LOVE THAT!


ok thats all.
peace,
