the boys and I had to run by the commissary this morning to get a couple of last minute things for turkey day. it never fails to amaze me how during the holidays people can be such jerks. for every one kind person there are 5 rude, impatient asses. now don't get me wrong I'm not Sally Sunshine, either. I want to get what I need and get the hell outta there, but that's how I am all the time! and trust me, most of the time I do it w/ a smile.
while the boys and I were waiting for a register in the self checkout 40 items or less time, an older "gentleman" wanted to get passed us. instead of saying excuse me or even trying to get my attention, he pushed my cart and Q out of the way. happy thanksgiving, pal!
prime example of why I try to do all my xmas shopping online because it gets worse after thanksgiving. common courteous is a lost quality is so many people. I really find it sad that my two sons, ages 11 & 13, are kinder and more generous than most of the adults I came into contact w/ today.
driving home this evening after dropping Vernando off at his house, we were stuck on the highway because of a wreck. it took us about 30 minutes to go 6 miles. I took a couple of shots of the harvested cotton fields but the clouds and rain weren't helping make anything pretty. I got this shot as the ambulance went screaming by us. a few minutes later, we drove by the two cars involved in the accident. the Audi only had front end damage from what I could see but the Saturn's roof was completely flattened. I just hope everyone involved will recover.
on a lighter note, I did speak w/ a client this morning. he wanted to order a wrapped canvas of my absolute favorite shot from his family shoot last month. unfortunately the original a tight shot on their faces w/ room for cropping. if they still want that shot, they'll have to order it in a larger size and get the rolled canvas to have framed.
the best part of the conversation was:
"You have definitely found your calling!"
hello affirmation!! :0)
