I need to get a new external hard drive for putting all my pictures and stuff on it from my ASUS laptop that died on Sunday for when I take it in to Computer Hospital to get somewhat fix they can put all my stuff on it. Both of my laptops are broken and I can take both of them in to Computer Hospital in Sandy and they can fix them for $50 each. Take care and have a great day my friends and family!!! :)

Day 18. Today I Am Thankful For...My Glasses :)

Day 18. Today I am thankful for my glasses so I can see every day. I do need to get a new pair of glasses though because I have had my glasses since 2011 and they are very loose on me. I would love to get contacts but if I did I would have to get the hard contacts so no thanks. I like my eye doctor but she is very damn expensive and she won't give me my prescription. My glasses that I got from her in 2011 cost me $400. I want to know if I can go see another eye doctor at Sam's Club, Walmart, Shopko or Target. So, for one of my Christmas presents this year I would love a new pair of glasses. Take care and have a great day my friends and family!!! :)

Day 17. Today I Am Thankful For...

I am also thankful for my old laptop that I can use while my newer laptop is broken. But my old laptop won't let me download my photography programs so I can't work on my photos for my clients right now and that is really pissing me off and stressing me the Hell out!!! So, hopefully tomorrow I can take my laptop in to Computer Hospital in Sandy to see if they can fix it for me for a really good price. Take care and have a great evening my friends and family! :)

Day 16. Today I Am Thankful For...My Extended Family On My Mom's Side :)

Day 16. Today I am thankful for spending time with my extended family on my Mom's side today at my cousin Logan Parker's homecoming from his LDS Mission in Texas. It was great seeing and visiting with my aunts, uncles, cousins and my Grammy McDermott while eating yummy food. I was bad and ate 2 desserts and a piece of corn bread. They had chili for lunch and I'm not a big fan of chili. The only chili I eat is Wendy's chili because I love how it's more like a soup then chili. So, I'll be fixing me something to eat later when I am hungry. I love and am very thankful for my extended family on my Mom's side and on my Dad's side. They are the best and I love them dearly.

Wheatie is my doggie, my best friend and I love her to pieces. I got to be there on 6/20/2013 when the vet put Wheatie to sleep. Her death was really hard on me and especially my aunt Robyn. I love and miss my Wheaters very much.

I got to my Dad's house Friday night at 9pm and when I got there I had dinner from Noodles & Company waiting for me. Thanks Dad for getting me some yummy dinner last night. I really appreciate all that you do for me. Last night my Dad, my brother and my niece Alyssa went out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. We got the blommin onion for a starter and then I got salmon for my dinner. The food was really yummy especially the mix vegetables that came with my salmon. :) Earlier this evening I did some shopping at Sam's Club and Walmart. I almost started doing my Christmas shopping tonight while I was at Walmart. But I decided to start doing my Christmas shopping sometime this new week. I want to get my Christmas shopping done now before the weather starts getting bad. Have a great weekend my friends and family! :)

I Am A Little Bit Stressed Out Right Now!!!

I got an email on Facebook from my cousin Rhett a couple of weeks ago and I was really excited to get an email from him. But, when I read it he made me very upset. He told me to delete one of my photos that I took at his wedding reception back in December 2012. He said that the people in the picture wasn't ready and he didn't want people to think that his wedding as a joke. Are you fucking shitty me? He liked my pictures when I first posted them on Facebook and now he doesn't. What the Hell is up with that? I don't fucking get it. Why in the Hell did he wait almost 2 years to tell me to delete one of my photos? He should of talked with me about it right after I posted them. Not 2 years later. But, if he asked me to delete the picture when I first posted them I still wouldn't delete the picture. 

I wasn't their photographer and I took pictures at their wedding reception for fun and for my wedding present to them. I was taking that picture from the side and their were other people there taking pictures of them. So, they were looking at someone else and not me. The only person who looked at me in the picture is my cousin Auburn. They did look at me in the next picture that I took of them. My style of photography is candid photography.

I went to the album on Facebook that their wedding reception pictures are in and the picture they wanted me to delete a lot of my friends and family liked the picture. A lot of them also commented on the picture as well. I was just going to untag Rhett and his wife in the picture but I guess they already untagged themselves. Well, I didn't delete the picture because I like the picture and I'm not going to delete the picture because someone doesn't like it. So, what I did was delete the message that Rhett sent to me instead. I'm sorry Rhett but I'm not going to delete a picture that you don't like. That is your problem because it's sure in Hell not my problem. :)

I am really getting sick and tired of people disrespecting me on Facebook and telling me to delete stuff that they don't like!!! And for telling me what I can and can not do!!! I don't tell my friends or family to delete pictures or update status that I don't like because I respect all of my friends and family. So, I am done with people who disrespect me, who use me, who walk all over me. I am putting my foot down and I'm not going to take people's bullshit anymore. I am done with my rant and have a great weekend my friends and family!!! :)
