Asheville, North Carolina

After spending only an afternoon there, I want to make it my new home. Possibly even more than Charleston. Charleston has the beach and the history and the cute preppy boys and the southern accents, but Asheville has even more pro's. And I bet people in Asheville have southern accents, too; I just didn't notice any.

I read somewhere that Asheville is one of the most vegetarian friendly cities in the country, and I would agree with this. Rosetta's Kitchen is vegetarian and organic and one of the best restaurants I'd ever eaten at. There were fliers for events posted all over, most of which I would have liked to attend. After lunch, we shopped at the unique stores downtown, many of which were eco-friendly. I bought some really cute apparel, including this Organic Rocks tee shirt:
So, in summary, Asheville has lots of vegetarian food, boutiques with gorgeous, unique, and environmentally friendly products, cool people (some of whom have southern accents), and a Dillards. Oh, and did I mention it's in the mountains, so there is a plethora of outdoor activity options?

I think I've found the perfect place to live.

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…
