I am in the midst of a lovely weekend. We have 5 days off- 2 days where school was canceled and MLK day. I am ahead on lesson planning and homework, and my apartment is halfway to being clean. I even spent several hours on my genealogy for the DAR. When we go back on Tuesday, I'll feel like I can breathe again, which is the opposite of last week.

Friday night I had dinner at Lalo's with Nancy and Sarah, which was fun, as always. It was supposed to be a night of bar hopping, but we were too tired for that. When will we learn not to have a huge meal before going to the bars?

Last night I hung out at Jen and Ray's and spent some time with my adorable goddaughter, Parker. She just gets cuter and cuter. She's 5 months now and loves to play, and I'm not scared of breaking her anymore. She's got the most hilarious personality; there is mischief in her eyes. I'm so glad I get to be a part of her life. And when I was leaving, I kissed her goodbye, and she reached for me. Everyone should have babies reaching for them; it's good for your soul.

I don't really have much else to say, but I felt like I should blog since it's been a while. I'm just happy for this downtime.

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…
