hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!
Mine was pleasant. The morning was a little stressful; my mom and brother were getting on my nerves and stressing wayyy too hard over dinner, but my sister and her boyfriend came over at 3:30 and brought the pups :) Then we decided to make hand turkeys and it was so fun; we brought out paint and glitter and buttons and pastels and really got into it, it was awesome.
My younger sister and her boyfriend got there around 5, and I suggested a game of 3 on 3 football, and they were for it! So we changed quickly and played the 3 sisters against the boyfriends and our brother (and we were winning for a while! Us Kolman girls can play! But the stinkin boys intercepted a TD for the win, boo.) Then we cooled down for a bit and changed again and dinner was ready by 6. Very yummy. That night we decorated the christmas tree and played a couple video games, haha that's so a family thing. We all love video games, even my mom.
Then, I stayed up all night and at 3am, my sister picked me up and we went shopping for black friday. OH GOD. The most insane morning ever. People had been camped out at Best Buy for 3 days, wtf? My sister almost got in a fight with one of them, ha. We did Bealls and Wal Mart too and Rue 21 and by 11am, I'd been up for 24 hrs and ready to die. Took a nap from 12-5, and got up for work at 6.
Thankfully work was dead, and I chilled for 30 mins at dunkin donuts, talking to a girl there about twilight ahah and getting free hot chocolate. Today I played tomb raider for like 3 hours, then went out to eat with my mom, and then drinks at a pub to watch the florida state game (we got demolished.) Then around 8 I went to my sister's to help her on a project for her class (we made fake blood!)
And now, I'm supposed to be working on grad apps. Eh. I kind of did. Instead, I'm going to post some pics from thanksgiving!
the table (it bugs me that my mom puts christmas stuff out - one holiday at a time!)

all up in my face. this is the most playful, loving puppy ever.
the hand turkeys! mine's the top left corner. I didn't feel like using the paints. colored pencils ftw!
i can't believe these are all made my people over the age of 18, look like 8 year olds.
yeah, me. kind of posing with water on my dress. bleh whatever.
from the week before, when I went to applebees. I don't even remember this.
that dude Jon from work that I talk about. this was the best I could get, but he's very much in the "friends" zone and staying there.
this was meant to be a test photo but I love how it came out. It kind of describes me, with the phone and pick and hairties and earrings and body spray. idk, but I like it.
Random, but Subway radio has been playing Mayday Parade, ha! I kind of freaked out when "Jamie All Over" came on, and nobody understood. They also play That Green Gentlemen, and I always crank it. And rofl they play cute is what we aim for - how do they even know these bands? And of course tons of paramore. It's just so lol that fbr is all over subway radio.
I just changed a ton of icons, and they're mostly twilight bootleg icons haha. except this GG one, holy boys <3
