Florida

I don't really have anything too exciting to say, but I figured I should post about Florida. It was a pretty typical trip. I worked on my tan, drank cherry limeades, hung out with my family, and went to the Magic Kingdom. This time I actually went on Big Thunder Mountain, which I think is the root of my roller coaster phobia. My mom took me on it when I was 5, and I think it was just too much for me. 22 years later, I finally worked up the nerve to try it again, and I loved it. It was the perfect amount of scary for me.


Another highlight of the trip was watching Flight of the Conchords with Faye and my Uncle Joel. Season 1 came from Netflix right before I left, so I brought it with. That show is freakin' hilarious. We were laughing so hard we were crying.

Finally, I really enjoyed the food on this trip. I had some avocado spring rolls at Mai Tais that were amazing. And we went up to St. Augustine one night to see my friend Liz, and the restaurant had delicious peanut butter pie.

See, not very exciting, right? But definitely enjoyable.

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…
