Best Week Ever

I really feel like it's been the best week ever, and it's not even over yet.

I had dinner with Jenna on Monday night, and then we went back to her place and played Glee karaoke on the Wii. Super fun. Then Rachel came over with Carmen.


Actually, I think that's one of the reasons this has been such a great week- I got to see this cutie twice! A lot of my friends have kids, and I even have an adorable goddaughter, but I've spent more time with Carmen than any other baby, and I'm head over heels for her.

Rachel offered me a free ticket to the Diamondbacks game on Wednesday night. Although the final score was something like 15-5 (the Cardinals won), it was just great to be at a baseball game. And we had the best seats I've ever had to a game!


Last night I went to my first church choir practice. I was SO nervous; I haven't sung in a choir for years. But it's all started coming back to me, and it's the best feeling. I just really love to sing. I met some really nice people, too. The rehearsal was fun and relaxed, but the director knows what he's doing. I can't wait to sing for Easter! The new guy in charge of worship music also asked me if I'd like to join one of the bands that does Sunday services, so I might get to do that, too!

Tonight I'm meeting my friend Kristin for dinner at Paradise Bakery (the one in Scottsdale that has the Panera menu), and then we're going rock climbing. I've never done this before and I am SO excited. I always kind of wanted to try it, but knew I was too big. But now I think I may be strong enough. Also, I realized I've had to do real rock climbing out in the wilderness a few times now. Kristin and I thought it would be fun to actually learn how to do it for real, this time with some safety equipment.

Sarah flies in tomorrow night, and Sunday we're going out on the Apache Trail, so it looks like it may be the best weekend ever, too!!!

Panera trumps Paradise Bakery.

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…
