Christmas List

My mom has been working on a beautiful quilt for me for months, so I really don't want/expect anything more than that for Christmas. However, I do have a little list of things I've been wanting that I emailed my parents. And it's just funny to see how much my life has changed over the past five years or so. I remember what a big deal it was when Kristin and I did the Black Hole and had to rent wetsuits. Now I actually need one. It is getting to be a hassle to borrow from people! So here is my list:

Used wetsuit (I doubt I'm gonna get this because I had to explain to my parents that they could get this from Craigslist, and that was just beyond them.)

Used dry suit (Yes, I know that these are several hundred dollars. But a girl can dream.)

Google Chrome Cast

National Park annual pass

Carabiners

Montana Guidebooks (Specifically for Glacier National Park and Bob Marshall wilderness)

A bear canister

Hiking shoes

A liner for my sleeping bag (It's only rated to 40 degrees, and that limits me.)

I never would have thought I would need half of this stuff. I love this crazy new life I've made for myself.

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…
