An Overabundance of Good Things

In the style of Chandler, could tonight BE any better?

I got three new books from Amazon today:

"God Was in This Place and I, I Did Not Know"

"Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels" which is freakin' hilarious. I'm actually laughing out loud and just can't put it down. I don't know if it's so funny to me because I've been reading romances for 16 years, or because it's just brilliantly written, but I highly recommend it. Even if you are not a fan of romance novels, it is worth reading because of sections like this:

"Behold our new Smart Bitch line of "Holy Crap, I Raped a Virgin!" greeting cards. (Because that's what happened all the time in old school romances.) With sentiments like:
  • "Sorry I Raped You... Again. And Again. And Again.
  • "I Thought You Were a Whore, Not a Real Person... Please Forgive Me?"
  • "Mom Was an Evil Slut and I Assumed You Were, Too... But Your Hymen Proved Me Wrong."
  • "Sorry I Raped You. I Thought You Were Your Mom."
I want to be best friends with Sarah Wendell and Candy Tan (the authors).

Finally, I got the new book we're using for small group. It's called Colossians Remixed. It looks like it is going to be intense and totally different from anything we've done before. I can't wait.

So in addition to having all these books in front of me that I'm dying to read, I'm watching last night's Gossip Girl. After Gossip Girl, I'll be watching Love Finds a Home, the latest in the Loves Comes Softly series. I loves those movies, even though I think the first one was the best one, and I was really mad when Missie's first husband died in like, the third one.

And to top it all off, I'm about to enjoy a Kashi frozen pizza for dinner.

Life is good.

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…
