Could today BE anymore beautiful?

I had to spend some time outside, so I just threw down a blanket in Dvorak park and laid there reading for while. It was perfect until butterflies ruined my good time. Okay, I should say butterfly, singular. But it kept coming at me!

Yesterday was fabulous, too. Charity and I went to the Art Institute for free, thanks to the museum passport program at the library. Then we went to La Pasadita for the best Mexican food in the city. Then Charity left, and Nina came over. After seeing six guys go into the apartment building across the stree, Nina and I concocted a plan to meet them. We figured they must be watching basketball, so we waited till halftime, then went outside. We had seen one of them smoking on the way it, so we figured he'd come out for a cigarette. Alas, there must be a back porch on that building, because they did not come out. We consoled ourselves with tater tots from Skylark. Then, the scariest show ever was on Discover Channel- A Haunting. I haven't watched it since I moved into my apartment because I know I'm too big of a scaredy cat to watch it alone. But I thought it would be okay since Nina was here last night. I was fine... till Nina left. When I went to bed, I had to sleep with my light on.

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…
