On Saturday we went to have our family picture taken for the church directory. We reconfirmed for ourselves during our ride over there that we were only going to order the free picture. That was it.
Ten minutes later I got to thinking about how Checkered and I haven't had a good picture taken of the two of us since we got married. Okay. So we decided to order the free picture and buy one picture. Just one.
Five minutes later I got to thinking about how we didn't have a nice picture of all four kids together, so we viewed the ones the photographer took. One of our boys saved us by closing his right eye for each picture. Then the photographer said he would be happy to try again. I thought about our decision not to be pulled into the sales pitch. And I said,
"Sure. Let's take some more pictures!"
And those weren't really better than the first batch. So ...
we bought one.
No. No. We said we would not buy any pictures. We would be strong. We would be money savers. We would not be swayed.
We lied.

Suckahs!!!
Just teasing!
I'm sure the photos look great and years from now you'll be glad you did it.
Hey, I'm just now getting around to updating your link on my page. I'm nothing if not on top of things.
And those end-aisle displays? They get me every time.
Been there. Done that.
Heehee!
Hahaha...the common threat when getting pictures taken. It seems you always need that other 'good' picture. I have soooo many of those needed pictures put up in a drawer.
Now we can be assured that family picture will be the subject of a blog post in the near future, RIGHT?
Aren't you old enough to understand that those "free" offers are just to suck you in to buy more? There aren't many who can resist once the picture is taken. They count on it. Hope you got a great one for the church directory. That is why you went isn't it?
Thanks for coming to see me yesterday. I had a great time getting to know all of you who stopped by. I hope it isn't a one time visit and you find your way back. If so I will be sure to have more Coke Zero.
