TN photoshoot

I love having my parents around.  It means I get to procrastinate on my homework (more than usual) and go do other things that are much more fun.  Take today, for instance.  I went to my first two classes and then, instead of going straight home to write my five pages for Literary Journalism, I met my parents at the Tractor Supply store and my mum took pictures of me holding the chicks and ducklings.  It was tons of fun, except that I learned the chicks are fine with being held, but the ducklings don't enjoy it at all.  Here's an example:

Chick who likes to cuddle

Duckling who wants to be put down

I think the duck picture is also amusing because of the sign right above my head.  In the picture right before this one, the previous duckling I was holding pooped in my hand.  So I put him back in the basin and grabbed another one, who also apparently didn't enjoy being held.

Anyway, so later today, after orchestra, my mum took pictures of Jonathan and me.  That was fun too.  For your enjoyment, I've included one of those as well.

 

 After the photoshoot (and yes I know it's supposed to be two words, but I think that looks ugly, so I always spell it as one word), we met the rest of my family at the Curry Pot for Indian food and looking at pictures.  It was a great end to the day.

Nursing pinning

I went to the nursing pinning tonight. It was the first time I've been to one. It wasn't the most interesting thing I've ever sat through, but I knew several people being pinned, so I went. Watching the play, which my friend Tim starred in as Jesus, was interesting though. After the pinning I went to the mall with Bryn and Jonathan. It was a quick trip (thankfully!) just to help Bryn find a Christmas present for her boss. We stopped in a Barnes and Noble (and I managed not to buy anything), a game store and Hallmark. Then I made everyone go to the pet store to watch the puppies. It always makes me so sad to see them in those tiny cages. There was a tiny, adorable puppy that looked a bit like my dog when she was small. It was chewing on its lock. I also took some time to pet the rabbits, something I haven't done for awhile. Then Jonathan said, "Hey, look! It's a hamster." I asked where and he pointed to an animal just coming out from under a tunnel thing. It was definitely not a hamster, but a guinea pig. That made me laugh for awhile. Jonathan just said, "how am I supposed to know what a hamster looks like? I've never seen one in my life before." I find that both super amusing and incredibly hard to believe.

Now I'm drained and don't want to write more. So I'm watching "Julie and Julia" with my sister. I have to say that Amy Adams (the actress who plays Julie Powell) has an adorable haircut. I kind of want to get my hair cut like it now. I always do this. Wait until my hair is almost long enough to look normal and then all of a sudden want to cut it really short again. I think I'll try to suppress my hair-cutting wishes, at least for now.
