Things that Make Me Happy

I have been in kind of a funk for the past few weeks. I don't like feeling like this; it's not who I am. So, instead of complaining (which is what I feel like doing), I'm going to list some things that make me happy.

1. The new outfit I wore today. The dark orange flats from Dillards were perfect for today's fall weather.

2. Since it is cool weather, I can sleep in my Tinker Bell pajamas with my windows open.

3. Today during literature circles, I heard a group having a great conversation about one of my favorite scary books, Coraline.

4. My principal is trying to do more walk-throughs. Today she came in as we were doing body-spelling. It's where we physically spell out the word wall words. She said it was the first time she'd actually seen a teacher using her word wall, and loved that I was doing something to reach my kinesthetic learners. The praise felt nice, although I just got lucky about when she walked in. I'm always afraid she'll walk in and catch me grading papers.

5. I am putting down a deposit on my parents' retirement gift this week.

6. I will most likely have hot water again tomorrow.

7. My grandma is sending me her apple pie recipe.

8. I am going hiking this weekend.

9. Sarah is coming over tomorrow night to watch Ugly Betty and The Office.

10. In 172 days, I will be at my favorite place in the world- Disney World.

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…
