After Work Surprise and Family Visit.

Is it wrong that I'm excited to be sick at home today because I might actually catch up on my blog reading? Sad.

Just have a few outfits to post. A week or so ago I had a really hard day at work, so Matt planned a surprise for when I got home. He didn't tell me how to dress, only that "kind of nice" was appropriate. I basically just changed my shoes when I got home from work:

These shoes always get compliments, but hurt within five minutes. They're Steve Madden's knockoff of the Sex and the City movie shoe. Oh, and for the curious- Matt ended up taking me to the Riff Trax Christmas special. Hilarious.

This last weekend, my family came to visit me. We went out to eat, then my mother, sister and I went to the Nutcracker. The brother and sister crashed at my place while the folks got a room at their favorite local hotel.

The next day, Jeff and Kelly and I went shopping. Kelly and I traded hats for the day, making me look something like Amelia Earhart and she like a lumberjack. Observe.

These photos demonstrate a few things:

1. My siblings are too impatient to stop and take non-blurry photos, even if you ask nicely.

2. My sister, though lovely in person, likes to make weird faces in pictures.

3. My brother dresses quite snazzily, but has no interest in holding still to take a photo. You must snap them while he's talking to you.

4. My siblings utterly destroy my apartment when they come to visit.
