Black Friday: Red Room

First time going to the red room tonight.
Before we headed over there we spent some time in a nice little coffee shop listening to a darling couple play some acoustic songs.
They were fantastic, and so in love.
The Meteors at the red room were great.
I got a wonderful birthday hug from Stephen Miller.
He thought I was Carly Strecker lol.
Shannon and Stephen sounded fantastic,
the only thing that wasn't fantastic was the lady taking pictures. She wouldn't stop. It was like a strobe light was on for the entire performance.
She kept being awkward and took pictures of the crowd, so I decided to have some fun.
Everytime she would take a picture in our direction I would make a funny face, but not towards the camera.
I would just keep looking forward, but would make a funny face. Carly Strecker is a genious.
Camera lady kept trying to snipe me, but I was always ready with a new face, and she was terrible at hiding.
Overall a fun night;
my second to last in the tri-cities :(

Merry Day of Thanks!

Woke up and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.
Just like I always do.
Jessi and I enjoyed pumpkin muffins and coffee and watched Eric Hutchinson do his thing on the telly.
She had to leave eventually,
but then the cousins came!
We always know we're in for tons of laughs when the O'Malley's come over.
I love that family :)
Sure enough, we played telephone pictionary and the laughs started coming.
Conner and Taylor Ray's first kiss turned into turtle man and a girl with machette hands.
Christmas music all year round turned into a dead person.
Asia turned into a intense train crash.
A box of chocolates turned into tomatoes burning from the sun, fresh from the toilet.
Priceless.

We linked up three computers to play a crazy shooting game.
After we all killed our own dumb selves, and Conner dominated, we headed down to eat the main meal.
Thanksgiving dinner was delicious and hilarious.
What a funny family I have.
Sledding after dinner; dad hit a rough jump and will be bedridden for a while.
Paul and I went out for round two.
I felt like a little kid in the snow again.
Jumping on trees, throwing snow footballs, and climbing up impossible snow drifts.
We eventually went back to my house for some cider and random chit chat.
Overall a fantastic Thanksgiving :)

Best Friends Reunited :)

Hugs, hugs, and more hugs.
That's all I could do when I saw Jessi.
Hug the crap out of her.
Not literally.
But maybe.
I actually didn't ask.
We went to Red Robin to see some of the gang.
It was so nice to see old friends again.
I forgot how much I've missed them.
When we got back we went in the hot tub for some soakin.
I decided it might be fun to do a snow angel in my bikini.
It felt like nice fluff initially but instantly turned freezing,
and when I got back in the tub I felt like I was on fire.
I somehow convinced Jessi to do it too,
and then convinced Meryn to do it face down.
So entertaining.
Movie and popcorn time,
then a late night of talking and catching up.
I miss having best friend sleepovers.
I miss having my best friend with me all the time.
The time we do get together now is so special,
and I appreciate it so much more.
I already can't wait until winter break,
because these last few days have gone by so fast.
Thanksgiving break is already nearly over.
