Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very-Bad Day

Remember that book from around 2nd grade that I'm sure we all read.  The poor kid has everything that could possibly go wrong in one day go wrong.  I've now experienced one of those where I can't catch a break.  The last 24 hours have been an absolute joke.  It started last night when I found out I had accidentally deleted one of my memory cards that had 5 pictures for my final on it.  After realizing there was no getting them back I had to search all of my old photos from this semester and try to bs some of them to work for the project.  After I found some that would work ok I uploaded them to Sam's Club website to order the prints.  After they were all uploaded I got an error message saying that they were all sized wrong and had to be cropped on their website.  I couldn't just resize the picture I actually had to take substance off of everyone.  I've already spent hours on these making them exactly right and the right size, so now I have to cut off my hard work and they don't look right anymore.  This morning I woke up late, ran into work, and got chewed out, all before I had even turned on my computer.  I had a million problems to deal with @ work and in the middle of a near nervous breakdown the boss calls asking for a report, that I forgot to do.  Don't worry though when I go to get the info for the report I found out that 3 of my computers are fried, no idea what happened, or how to fix it.  Then I find out that an update didn't go through last week and we are 3 days behind.  I took a lunch and went to pick up my pictures from Sam's when I find out they are out of chemical, and my pictures aren't even ready.  This is really frustrating because I did them early so I would have a few hours to fix any problems.  So I go back to work and get to deal with all of the same stuff again.  After work I went back to get my pictures, and they were done.  I had 21 prints, and one of them was huge, that was the only one I was worried about, because its pretty hard to screw up a 4x6.  I checked out the big picture and it looked fine, I stopped @ WalMart on the way home to buy a frame to house the huge picture because chances are with my day its going to get ruined somehow.  The lady couldn't find a barcode and ended up getting out her keys to un-wrap part of it so she could scan it.  Once I got home I opened up all of my pictures and found out every 4x6 is horribly underexposed.  Not one is even close to what it should be.  Being extremely frustrated I pull out the large picture to frame it because that will make me feel better right? Well when Walmart lady tried to break into the package with her keys she actually scratched a huge portion of the glass on the frame.  So now I have to go return that.  Oh did I mention I found out as I was leaving work that I have to work tomorrow night?  So that means no time to re-do my pictures, or purchase a decent frame.  Great.

Capacity

I read the other day that there is only so much pigment in your hair, and once you use it all up its gone. This makes sense as I think back to my youth when my hair would grow annoyingly fast. Even today its faster than average. I've been able to donate it 3 times in the last 4 years. But wouldn't that be great if there was a slow down button. If I could say, "okay, I would rather not be going gray @ age 22, how about we slow the process a little, and save what pigment is left." Sadly that is not an option. This made me think about other capacities, mainly my brain, and what happens once I use up all of the available storage space there. Is there a purge button that I can get rid of all of the useless information (like my best friends phone # from 4th grade, or the SKU for a graduation tassel) to make extra room for new information. Or like my gray hair am I destined to get old ridiculously young, sit on my front porch (if I had one) and yell at the young children for being too loud, when really I'm just jealous of all the pigment left in their hair.

Twilight Premier

As a lame sort of joke last night Hannah, Amanda, and I went to see twilight.  It was one of those things that make you feel much better about yourself when you see how messed up other people are.  Our evening included capes, screaming hormonal women, and breast feeding.  Apparently finding a babysitter wasn't an option, and neither was missing the movie, sicko.

Nothing interesting

This is Braden's dog Jake.  He got mad and pulled a face.  Sadly his face got stuck like this.  All of the other reindeer now laugh and call him names.

So apparently my life is so lame it is no longer blog-worthy.  I think back to the weeks of multiple posts and wonder if there was really anything going on, or if I had an extra large bowl of random for breakfast.

Gettin' ready

Think its too early?  Me too, but its not going to stop me from adorning them on cute kids for Christmas pictures! 

Tender

So sometimes when my dog is being an absolute nut (pretty much always) I forget how cute she can be.  She was even cuter back in the day.  I just got this pic from my grandma, it was taken when she was about 8 weeks old.  Doesn't she just melt your heart?

New photo shoots

This weekend Meg and I were able to take pics of 2 families, one being my aunt Janae's. They have such cute kids and we had so much fun with them.





This is just a sneak peek, to see the rest check out my facebook page or my photography blog

I think that we are just about ready to start charging and doing this for real. It's scary and exciting at the same time. We also received some emails from my brother so its been a pretty good week. If you want to read them you can look at this blog http://elderbutler.blogspot.com/ I post the letters and pictures he sends to us there.
