Love Letters

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, kicking off the Lenten season. I don't give anything up for Lent, but I do try to be more intentional about improving my spiritual life by praying more or reading my Bible more or something. This year, one of the girls in small group had this idea about writing a letter to someone you love every day during Lent. I haven't figured out how this will bring me closer to God yet, but I think it's a brilliant idea (in addition to increasing my Bible reading). So every day, I'll be writing a little letter to someone. But just so you know, if you don't get a letter, it's not because I don't love you; it's probably because I got really busy and didn't follow through, like in so many other aspects of my life.

Update on my week of excitement: I went to a workshop on autism yesterday that was enjoyable. Today I did eat Paczkis and drink champagne with my small group girls, but I also had to go to a wake- Sarah's grandpa died. My meeting with my trainer went well, but I don't start working out till Thursday. I'll be seeing her for strength training 2 days a week, then doing cardio on my own. So far, the week has been good!

I am giving up three things ... bread, inactivity, and sugar.
Ugh - they all have to be explained to fully understand exactly how I'm giving them up - as it's a little manipulative! 13.5 hours in, though, and I'm a success. Only a gazllion more! But, I do really like your idea. A lot. That was kind of my New Years thing - to write more letters. So. A trainer? I was thinking about that, too! Let me know how it goes.
And what's the tattoo of?

Miss you.

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…
