Emilee Fuss Photography – the blog

The weekend is upon us and I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for it! Sleeping in, watching old movies, and reading are on my list. I love weekends. Which brings me to my Friday Five…

1. Weekends - After a busy week of working, running errands, and sending countless emails, I am ready to embrace the weekend with arms wide open, to kick back and try to stay away from the computer, and do the things mentioned above. What about you? Do you have any exciting weekend plans, or are you just going to relax like me and Buddy?
2. Abigail – Today is my little sister Abigail’s 13th birthday! It’s so crazy (and a little scary, honestly) that she’s already a teen! Abigail is a feisty little redhead, just like our big sister, Meredith. I’ve been blessed to be in the middle of two lovely, outgoing sisters with big hearts (and mouths), and I wouldn’t trade either of them for anything in the world. Happy 13th birthday, Abigail. I love you so much and pray that this is a fantastic year for you! And thanks for being such a faithful blog visitor and commenter. :)
3. The Sleepwalking Dog - Last night I came across this video via Pawsitivley Pictures on Facebook. People, I could have died laughing! We had Bible study at our house, and I dragged half of the people into the office to watch the video, laughing harder each time. Buddy only twitches his feet and whines a little bit in his sleep, he never actually RUNS while laying down! It makes me wish that our dogs could tell us what they’re dreaming about. Do you think this boy was chasing something, or something was chasing him? What do your pups do when they’re dreaming?
4. Modeling - Once again, I have to list modeling as a Friday Five. I had the pleasure of meeting with Synethia Rosa (who found me from I Heart Faces) to discuss a photo swap we’re doing – I photograph her and her family, and she photographs me and my family. Awesome! We haven’t had family pictures done in ages (and don’t have any non-Olan Mills photos) so I’m really excited about this. Synethia is also doing senior portraits for me next week, which I didn’t think I’d be able to have. So I’m really looking forward to that, especially because Buddy gets to come along. The only thing I’m nervous about is actually being in front of the camera. But I’m confident that Synethia will help me become more comfortable, and I can’t wait to see the results!
5. Laptop bags - My laptop arrived last week, and I’ve been loving it (actually blogging from it now!). However, there’s one leetle problem. I can’t find a good laptop bag to save my life. I was really hoping that it would fit in a Hipslip, but it’s just an inch too long. Apparently it’s hard to find a sleek, simple, and stylish bag for a 17.3″ laptop. I’ve been scouring the interwebs, but have come up with nothing. All I’m asking for is a bag that is slim like a sleeve, but with pockets for cords and accessories. And cute–it’s got to look good. Is that too much to ask? The bags at Acme Made look pretty good, but I’d like to hear a few more of your suggestions, lovely readers. Any recommendations?

And instead of a picture, I’ll post the sleepwalking dog video. If this doesn’t make you laugh, I just don’t know what to say to you.
