Hot Mess

Today, I paused for a moment to reflect on my current life circumstances.

I am currently unemployed and getting ready to go on a six week vacation I really can't afford.  I blew off an interview last week and now all my hopes are pinned on one district because I haven't bothered to work on my job search in weeks.

I'm pretty sure my health insurance expires during my trip.  Better not end up in the emergency room again...

Speaking of expiring, my teaching certificates expire in July and are $100 to renew.  And my license plates expired at the end of May, which will cost around $100 to renew, plus the $60 ticket I got this morning.

I am planning on camping for 6 weeks and realized I don't even know how to start a fire.

I have to learn how to shower at truck stops.

I am about to put myself in a situation that necessitates me buying bear spray.

There are a million things to do before leaving town for an extended period of time.  For every item I cross off my to-do list, I add two more in its place.

Brian Wilson once said to me, "You always have some crazy story."  That would certainly seem to be the case.

I always thought that responsibility would come with age, but apparently I was mistaken.  Because I am just as big of a crackhead now as I was when I was 16.

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…
