Line Dancing

What is wrong with me? I used to make fun of people who liked country. If you told me that I would be line dancing when I was 25, I'd laugh in your face. But all of a sudden, this is what I like to do.

My country phase started when Cortnee took me to Billy Bob's Honky Tonk in Fort Worth. I actually kinda wished I could be out there on the dance floor doing all the complicated dances and two-stepping. And I thought the cowboys were SO hot.

When I got home from Dallas, I started listening to country all the time. It just makes me so happy; it's good for your soul, just like opera and Bach. Recently I heard of this place called DC's Country Junction in Indiana, so Nina and I went to check it out. We didn't dance (I was ready to try by the end of the night, but she wouldn't go out there with me), but I was determined to learn how and come back.

Last night I went with 9 other girls. I had such a great time! We went to the lesson, which really helped. By the end of the night I actually knew a few dances. I feel like this is something I could actually be good at, unlike snowboarding, where I knew right away I would seriously suck.

I'm going to try to learn some more dances on YouTube so I'll be even better the next time I go, which I hope will be really soon. What's happened to me???

Do I look like I've completely lost my mind??

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…
