Baby-Sitters Club

What should I be doing right now? Grading papers. Getting started on work for my new grad class. Doing dishes. Taking a shower and getting ready for bed. Even catching up on emails would be acceptable.

What am I doing right now? I am consumed by the need to email Ann M. Martin and tell her about my idea for a new Baby-sitters Club book. I think she needs to write an adult novel about the characters all grown up. I think there would be a huge market. All of us girls in our 20's would love to hear what happened to the girls that seemed more like best friends than book characters.

Here is what I have discovered. First of all, Ms. Ann M. Martin is difficult to email. Her official website is on the Scholastic site, and all they have are message boards. Secondly, there were actually 131 books just in the regular BSC series, and it just ended like, 6 years ago. So maybe she would not be ready for the baby sitters to be all grown up yet. After the regular BSC books came the Baby-sitters Club Friends Forever books (I think), and the series ended with the girls graduating from middle school. So now I really want this book, even though I shouldn't be spending the money. But I need closure! And since the adult baby-sitters probably isn't going to happen anytime soon, this is the next best thing. I have to know if Mary Anne and Logan stay together!

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…
