Before the trip to Vegas, I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up “Chocolate Please” by Lisa Lampenelli, one of my favorite comedians. I think the world needs more Lisa Lampenelli’s; people that aren’t afraid to say exactly what they are thinking. Some people think that these people are just assholes and the people that follow them and support them are assholes with less talent. Well, those people can suck it.

So I’m sitting in the seat on the plane  (The one that’s no bigger than a seat on a roller coaster at Busch Gardens. Seriously, when are they going to change that?)  heading to Dallas reading this book with a hot pink and yellow cover and pictures of a half naked black guy holding a birthday cake by his crotch and I get to the part where she talks about Sears Portrait Studio…

Taking a trip to the Sears Portrait Studio is equal in stress to going to the cemetary to bury the family pet-only with Sears you get to bring home reminders that last generations.

First of all, it is impossible for anyone being photographed at a Sears Portrait Studio to look his best. Because the Sears photographer is only a Sears photographer because it pays more than being a Sears cashier. Simply put, he has the artistic eye of Helen Keller.

I actually feel sorry for those kids that work at the Sears Portrait Studio. They spend all day dealing with crying and whining and people shitting their pants-and that’s just the mothers who are unhappy with how the photos look. If I ever met one of these entitled soccer twats, I’d sat, “Hey lady, don’t bitch at the nineteen-year-old photographer because your baby looks ugly. You should have married better.”

And with that said, there’s a very good chance I’ll be working weekend at the Sears Portrait Studio again this year for the remainder of the season. Nothing is finalized yet, but I had a half hour conversation with my old boss the other day and she’d love to have me back since all her old staff moved (Probably due to the screaming and whining.).I’ll probably be starting in November. Get ready Christy. It’s gonna be one hell of a ride. Bring it bitches.

Today was full of good things. For one, I woke up without a headache. I had a massive one all day yesterday and had a horrible time concentrating on anything. This usually happens when the weather changes drastically. My allergies start going crazy and I get major sinus headaches to the point where it’s hard to see straight. So not having a headache this morning brightened my day just a little bit.

While I was getting gas this morning I got hit on by a well dressed Asian. I was finishing pumping my gas and as I started walking to my car he excused himself and told me I was beautiful. He said something close to, “I just have to tell you that you’re beautiful. You brightened my day.” LOL. I said thanks and walked back to my car blushing. People don’t hit on me. EVER. I wasn’t even wearing makeup. I got in my car and texted my sister. She laughed at me. Nice.

The icing on the cake was work though. We’ve been working on redesigns for these Clearwater Beach hotel websites. Usually for any website design we offer the client at least 2 options to choose from. My boss thought it was best if we each did a layout for the client since we usually have varying tastes when it comes to designs. He sent the designs to the client yesterday and today she called him back saying she liked my design so much! TOTAL WIN MOMENT. I tried to play it cool, but on the inside I was really excited! My boss is a way more experienced designer and it’s awesome that I did something that compared to his designs. It seriously made my week.

After work, I went to Dave’s, we rode 4 miles on our bikes, got smoothies, ate leftover soup, and watched Lie to Me and Hell’s Kitchen. And now I’m writing this. Awesome day!
