Ugly Betty

I am a new Ugly Betty fan, and I'm so in love with the show. I just completely relate to her. Like tonight, when she was feeling like she is totally overshadowed by her big sister. That's exactly how I feel when I'm with two of my best friends. They are gorgeous and confident and attract boys like crazy, and I just feel ugly and socially awkward. Not that I have completely low self-esteem- I know I'm not really. It just feels that way when your friends are goddesses.

Speaking of friends, I have a new group of friends at work. I feel like I am in with the popular girls, even though I really haven't cared about popularity since I was like, 15. One of the ladies invited me to go to Houston for a 4 day weekend we have coming up, which also happens to be my 25th birthday! Her family owns a condo down there, and her cousin owns a car dealership there. Apparently last year during this trip, he lent the ladies a Bentley to drive for the weekend. So it should be tons of fun. There is only one rule- you sleep when you get home. Honestly, I'm a little worried I won't be able to keep up. :)

There is, however, a problem with the trip. There are 10 of us going. The ladies who planned it were very selective about who they invited. (This is why I'm so honored- they barely know me, and I try to stay private and professional at work. I don't know why they think I will be so much fun.) They aren't telling anyone else about the trip so no one's feelings will be hurt. But I have a best friend at work. It is our first year with the district, and we're both about the same age. We tell each other everything. We'd be lost without each other. And she wasn't invited. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because they haven't gotten to know her outside work, so they don't know how cool she is. Either way, I'm not sure how to tell her. I definitely don't want to lie. I will have to think carefully about it.

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…
