Worse then waking up with a 30 pound dog on your chest trying to lick your nose off.

Better then freshly baked apples.

Yummier then cheese cake with a grahmam cracker crust.

Softer then an old friend, other wise known as Teddy.

Lamer then trying to get the dogs to follow a flashlight beam.

Funnier then tricking your sister into eating dog food.

More Enjoyable then spending the day with your best friend-even if they whine.

More Fun then telling your friends what you got 12 hours before they can even start to see.

Sadder than looking in the corner and realizing that, once again, idiot-boy (Brother) wont be home for Christmas.

Worth Gloating over like beating your sister's score on the PSATs.

Better then sending your brother a birthday card that calls him ugly, right before a nice hand written message.

Cheaper then shelling out boo-ko-bucks for mom's present before going to the dollar store for everyone else's.

More Hilarious then listening to a LOTR fanatic try and reduce 6 hours of movie into a 2 minute summary. 2 words people: Walking Trees.

Worth More Whinning then getting a paper cut on your tounge (stupid cards...).

More Aggravating then waking up warm and toasty under the blankets, and realizing that you actually have to get up.

Nicer then spending the day with family and friends.

So yesterday after work, I dragged myself (and sister) into Sears, IN A FORMAL DRESS, and got pictures done for my mothers X-mas present.

The night before, we were figuring out how many of what and what size. And we came out with the “Should Be” Price, and the “Worst Case Scenario” Price. The Should Be price was $41 (we had a coupon and an employee discount card. The Worst Case Scenario? $54. Add 15 for the sitting fee. When we got there, Robyn decided she wanted 2 sheets of wallets in one. Okay, that’s fine. Another 5 bucks. No Big Deal.

How wrong I was. On all counts.

Now for informational purposes, my sister is poor. She’s in college and she’s poor. So I already knew I was footing the bill. And at the bank I withdrew $80, add that to what I already possessed, I had over $100 (well over if I might add). You can see why I was confidant about being able to handle the Pictures and Dad’s x-mas gift. Mom-she knew about her gift because we used her discount card-gave us me a gift card… to put towards the pictures because some of them are getting mailed off. Woot. An extra thirty.

So you would think I would be fine on cash.

Nope.

We got the pictures done. Thoroughly aggravated the lady, picked out our poses. Argued about what looked better. Played with different props. Basically we were pains.

We went to pay, I got my wallet out, pulled out 41 dollars, the gift card, the coupon, and the employee discount card. She rang us up. Now was the moment. The moment I had been waiting for. I waited patiently, recalculating the cost in my mind. Even looking at my toes (didn’t have shoes on) and counted. Used my fingers.

And the grand total for 13 sheets of pictures was… 168 JOHNK DOLLARS!

Worst Case Scenario my ass.

We talked to the lady, broke it down-ish. She even took off the sitting free. It was still over 90 bucks out of my pocket-After the Gift Card. I was devastated. I pooled my cash. And had enough. With about thirty dollars left.

We went X-mas shopping for dad.

By the time we were done buying dad’s gift, and another something for mom, I had $8 left in my pocket.

I so wanted to cry, oh wait… I did.

And mom doesn’t understand why I hate pictures.
