Cat Suicide!

Yes, this is my cat, Sobe, trying to suffocate herself. I'm not sure why, but as she was laying there peacefully on my bed she decided to put her face right into the blanket and try to kill herself. Maybe it's my music, I'm not sure. Or maybe she was just sick of our family. But she's only 4. Not old enough to be sick of us yet, RIGHT?! Right. Luckily, about 5 minutes after she tried smothering herself, she repositioned her head OUT of the blanket. She lives on!

Moving on.

I love Thanksgiving weekend! The whole thing! The fooooood, the shopping deals, the family, the laziness, and the fact that it means you are close close close to Christmas Vaca! So I'm going to tell you about mine!

Wednesday: All my classes were canceled so my mom and I went SHOPPING in Tucson!! Most of the stores were having their black Friday sales all weekend, so I got some great deals without the mean crowds. I even got me some BOOTS! I'm very excited about these. They are sooo soft on the inside to keep my legs nice and toasty.

Thursday: I must admit I hit the snooze button a couple times before I decided to get up and help my mom with dinner. When I finally decided it was basically my duty to get up already and pitch in with dinner, I went upstairs and sure enough, as soon as all my cereal had been eaten I was put to work making the stuffing (which, by the by, turned out just absolutely delicious!!) After that was all made and cooking my mom sent me back downstairs to stop smelling (aka: shower) So I did and got all purty for dinner and just as I was finishing, my sister, RiKenna the photographer, called me with an emergency. She was doing a family photo shoot with 80 people outside in the wind! Wind and expensive photography equipment (tall lights with umbrellas and such) - NOT a good combo. So I was called over to hold the light stand. The wind had already blown one of her lights over the day before and busted it pretty bad and when it happened again to her other light she knew she had to call me. Lots of complications and lots of minutes later we ended up with one light plus her camera flash. Not ideal, but of course my wonderful sister made it work because she's amazing! I ended up holding the ladder she was standing on instead. After that adventure we were an hour and half late for dinner, but it was still delicious!!!! I sat down to eat and of course my sister needed me again for another photo shoot with my parents before the sun went down. So off we went. You see my parents got a new car and wanted pictures in it. These pictures aren't the ones my sister took, but this is the car. It's beautiful and soooo amazing to drive!


Friday: Black Friday. I went to Tucson with a couple of friends and it was crazy. We didn't even get there early. Like really, we got there around 12:30. Our first stop was Kohls and after we saw the line for the cash register wound around the entire store, we left! We went to the mall and it wasn't so bad. Did some shopping then came home.

Saturday: Helped my sister with another photo shoot for our cousin's senior portraits. I help her with everything. I'm basically her unofficial lighting expert. Maybe I should just quit school and work for a photography place. Hmm... for some reason, I don't think that would get me quite as far as music. Ehhh... guess we'll never know since I'm not quitting school, no matter how much I would like to.

Sunday: Just church and a fireside. It was weird though today for dinner. It was just me and my parents. No one else. It was quiet. Usually there is a mass of people every week and this week it was just the fam. It was a nice break for the chaos, but honestly, I'll be glad for the chaos again next week. Love my parents and all, but sometimes quiet dinners are just plain boring.

Well I think thats it.

Oh, one more thing, I cut my bangs! You like????

ummm... ignore the face.
