The little girl was asked to bring a picture of mommy to school yesterday for a project they will be making. I was so excited that I immediately took out all our albums and started looking for that perfect solo picture of mine. After almost half an hour of looking, I only had 4 solo pictures on my hand which to me were not even close to acceptable. They were either blurred, or I wasn’t in the middle of the photo or other people were at my back. Gosh, I realized most of my really nice pictures are with the little girl or with the dad. This can’t be.

I simply refused to give up so I didn’t lose hope, I opened my laptop and searched the thousands of photos stored in my flash drive. I bet I will find something decent. For petes sake, this is my daughter’s first ever school project! And voila, there it is, my perfect solo picture. I had the perfect smile, photo was perfectly angled and no bystanders around me. I clicked print instantly and you wouldn’t guess what luck I had next. The printer was out of ink!

Can this be really happening? Just when I needed it most. I had the driver instantly run to the nearest computer store to get an ink but I was surprised to learn that it was pretty much more expensive than getting it online.

Lesson learned here, I will need to stock up on ink, toner and toner cartridges bought online to save money as with a school girl now, I will need such supply all the time and at unexpected times!
