photobooth friday- the movies edition

sunday, november 5, 2006- going to see santa clause 3 at the loop- first mama and daughter movie together

these weird digibooths are confusing, especially for the wees. there's the screen thingie and then the "look here!" thingie. for some reason, us humans really want to stare up at the screen, and not at the "look here!". even me, trying hard to focus and look where i was told, was getting sidetracked and looked in the wrong place for the last shot. my girl just couldn't get it...and ended up looking possessed for most of the shots. if you were at the movies that day...you probably heard me- i was the crazy mama in the digibooth strongly encouraging my three year old to "look there!...right in there! no, not there! here!". digibooths make me crazy.

i must thank each and every one of you for those wonderful comments from my past couple of posts. i should have bad days filled with horrible self esteem more often! (ok, ok, just kidding). i keep thinking of mindertin's description of her bloggie comments and support as a "trail of breadcrumbs". yes, yes, yes, how true. i must say i'm feeling better today- getting on top of my mood, having deep and fulfilling talks with the hubbertins, having an impromptu dinner date (on the couch, after kiddies went to bed) last night, and this morning- taking those damn scissors and cutting off all my hair (again). your hair comments were the ones that really got me- so nice. really people, totally undeserved. the above boothie pics were taken pre-haircut, and you can get a sense of how my hair really was just going somewhere bad. yes, my co-workers shouldn't have pointed it out, but really- they do hair, that's what they do (oh, you were so right vinnie, though- it was totally him!) anywho- i'm not saying my chopped do is any better, i just feel better, and i guess that's what it's all about. so off for a visit now with my fetus friend and her twin beans and some fresh soft pita (large loaf, please!) and creamy lebanese yogurt and hummus and tabbouli (spelling going out the window on those puppies, sorry!) i need my girl and her boys. then work and then weekend. did i mention how much i stinkin' heart the weekends? xo.

i don't care for the digi booths myself either, but will do it if forced. i was actually looking online to see how much it costs to have a booth. as in own your own.

have a great weekend dear mama.

Happy Friday! It is so good to hear that you are feeling better..and that you are rockin' your new fabulous hair!

You and your daughter are beautiful...I love these photos. And yes, the digi booths are sooo not user friendly.

Have a warm and wonderful weekend.

Loving you!

I agree totally- I ALWAYS look at the wrong part in the digi booth... I have decided to just stop looking anywhere.
Great set, mom and kido CUTE!

oh yes, I totally agree! the digi-booths are weird! although they have made some improvements in the booth experience-- bigger seating areas and two strips for the price of one. but why the screen on the outside showing the world your private booth experience? (that's what mine did) and the picture quality is horrible! supposedly, they don't hold up well to the test of time. I just can't understand why someone won't make a booth like the old ones... that's what everyone seems to love, what everyone seems to seek out... ugggghhhhh!

(but ultimately, these are cutecutecute of you and your girl)... :)
