Photo Project Fail

Two days of fun things happening, and I didn't take any pictures.

Last night we celebrated Kestelle's birthday at Hot Chocolate in Wicker Park. That place is amazing! The desserts were out of control awesome, made by an award-winning pastry chef. And Kestelle looked adorable in her fabulous pink dress. It was a lovely evening and I'm mad I didn't document it.

Today I had rehearsal all morning. I'm super nervous about the concert tomorrow. I shared this with Professor Brown, who is singing with me on the Praetorious, and he gave me a hug and reassurances. He is the nicest man. I can't believe I get to sing with him.

I got a haircut today, which, come to think of it, could have made a good picture because I got a great blow-dry. But that would mean taking a picutre of myself right now, and I am currently wearing my glasses, no makeup, and Tinkerbell pajamas. Not happening.

Tonight we had Family Movie Night. This was, of course, at my insistence. Predictably, everyone complained and dragged their feet (except Jen), and then everyone had a great time. Because who doesn't like Christmas Vacation? That movie is fun for the whole family. My dad laughs so hard he snorts. The yuppie neighbors make me laugh so hard I cry. We drank salted caramel hot chocolate and just enjoyed spending time together. And I forgot to take pictures.

Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

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…
