A Haunting

Tonight will be night 3 of sleeping with the light on. That stupid show on Discovery Channel terrifies me. I am so stupid, though; I know what will happen if I watch it, but I can't turn it off. I'm fascinated. And I'm not usually scared while I'm watching it, so I tell myself I'll be fine at night, but I never am. There was a two hour episode on Sunday that was especially disturbing. It's scary enough when it's just a ghost, but this episode dealt with demons. And since I'm a Christian, I do believe that stuff exists. And when the Catholic church approves an exorcism, you know it's not pretend. This episode was so scary I had to actually change the channel at certain parts. That night, I slept with my light on and my Bible under my pillow. I woke up around 3 a.m. and was too scared to go back to sleep (because that's the hour when all the bad stuff usually happens). I kept imagining the demons pulling the cross off my neck, or pulling the covers off my bad, or choking me, or making my light go out, or making the cross on my wall fly across the room (all things that happened on the show). The creepiest part of that episode was that when the family moved into the house, there were crosses everywhere, and they slowly started disappearing. But the chances of that kind of thing happening to me are very slim, right? I have a strong faith, so why would anything want to come after me? Maybe I will try to sleep without the light on tonight. Or maybe I will just give up and buy a cute nightlight.

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…
