Not exactly photo-drama, but...meh

Well, we got Little Guy's picture taken at Portrait Innovations last night during the storm of the apocalypse. (as Nickel is referring to it) It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I'd never go back. The girl who did our pictures and helped us choose the ones we wanted wasn't pushy and unfriendly, BUT there was another girl there who was all the evil I had read about rolled up in one. I felt so sorry for her customers. I'm not sure of her name, but if you go there and see a chunky girl with overdone hair and a nose ring, beware. She was pushy, snarky, inappropriate, and unfriendly with the two families I saw her working with. As far as the pictures went, they were pretty good. Chrizzle does better, though. T.G. wanted to do Portrait Innovations because you could get 40 prints for 10.00, and he wanted wallet size prints to hand out at Little Guy's party. We got the 10.00 package and one other print for just us. However, you get only one pose with the 10.00 package...which means you have 40 prints of the same picture, and additional prints are just a FORTUNE. 15.00 for the ONE other 8x10 we got. Ugh. They do push hard for more expensive packages, and we also found that they can get fairly annoying while you are trying to pick the poses you like. The girl we had kept suggesting the ones she liked as opposed to letting us just look and pick. Um, I'm sorry girl at P.I., I don't really care what you like. I care about what I like. Duh. That's why I'm there. To pick out a picture I like. Like I said, we aren't really thinking about going back. It just wasn't our cup of tea. One thing I did like was that they used a hand held camera, so the girl could really chase Little Guy around and get him from any angle. That was nice, but Chrizzle does the same thing and she takes magnificent pictures that just blow my mind with their fabulousness. I never would have done this except for the 10.00 package with all the wallet photos.
Oh, here's Chrizzle's website: www.paperdoves.com. You can check out her awesome work there.
In other news, on Friday I had the most fun date with the charming Chrizzle. We ate at this place called The Other Fish in Bethlehem. It's a tiny little sushi joint run by hot, punk rocky people. I was all apprehensive before we got there because I have never been to such a laid back, non-traditional sushi place. Most of the places I've gone too bring out all my eating in public anxiety with their overdone decor, however this was like a teensy little hole in the wall bar or diner with awesome sushi. Chrizzle and I sat at the counter and had a totally yummy dinner. One of the best parts is that it's so tiny, the sushi chef is right there in front of you making your roll, and you can watch him do it. After eating our sushi and such, we had Japanese ice-cream, which, if you've never had it, is such a scrumptious and fun novelty that I highly recommend it. You pick it up with your fingers and it comes in really cool flavors. I had green tea and sweet bean. Chrizzle had green tea and mango.
T.G. and I recently got tickets to see one of our favorite bands in July. We're all excited about it and called my parent's to see if they could watch Little Guy. I was a bit concerned because we won't be home until late and I felt sort of bad asking them to watch him until after midnight, but my mom said "Of course!" all happily and nicely. Dumb me didn't wonder why she sounded so very "Duh, Melissa, we will absolutely do this for you guys." Not that she and my dad aren't completely cool and nice about watching him, but that she seemed like it was so very obvious that they would say yes. It wasn't until yesterday that T.G. and I realized the day in question was our anniversary. Haha. We're so retarded. How did we miss that? No wonder my parents were so immediate to say yes. They knew it was our anniversary even though we didn't.
Anyhow, Little Guy is napping and need to do things. I'm off like a dirty shirt on laundry day. Wheeeeee!
