Beer in Mexico

So today I was listening to that Kenny Chesney song, Beer in Mexico (because I heart country music). And I could really relate...
I'm freaking out about turning 25. I'm not sure why. I think because I always thought that being 25 would be the best it could get. Halfway through your 20's- old enough to be established in your job and have a little money, young enough to still be fun and fabulous. So now 25 is here. Is this as good as it will get? Will everything go downhill from here?

Besides that, my life is not how I planned it would be at 25. I know that things do not always go as planned, but I don't think my goal of being married by 25 was that unreasonable. I guess I actually did come close twice (TJ gave me a ring and everything when I was pregnant that I ended up throwing back in his face; Chuck claimed he wanted to marry me and was making plans to have "the talk" with my dad when I found out he was sleeping with another girl (See previous posts. Actually, don't, because it's embarrassing.)). Am I allowed to do double parenthesis? I'm a big fan of them. Anyway, I always figured I'd be married and on my way to having a family by now. I don't want to be old when I have kids. And I want like, 5 (I want to adopt at least one AIDS orphan or foster child), so it's not like I can wait till I'm in my late thirties to start.

As much as I try to plan it, I have no idea where my life is going. "So I'll just sit right here, and have another beer in Mexico..."

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
