Best Part of the Day

Saying goodbye to Paula this morning totally sucked. Luckily, I had lunch with Rachel and Jenna to look forward to. After a delicious meal of homemade mac and cheese, Rachel said, "So, uh... you guys wanna go for a walk around the block?"

"Um, sure..." I replied. I was confused. Judging by Rachel's tone of voice, this was supposed to be code for something, but I obviously wasn't smart enough/cool enough to know what. I figured I'd just act like I understood and I'd find out soon enough what she REALLY wanted to do. Because she definitely had a mischievous sparkle in her eye. Maybe she wanted us all to hula hoop naked in the sprinklers again?

Jenna wasn't afraid to ask. "Ok, what are we REALLY doing?" she said quietly so the husbands wouldn't hear.

"Nothing, just going for a walk. Why, what did you guys think?" And we all laughed and laughed because she really did just want to walk around the block and leave the kids with the husbands for a few minutes.

But then there was a moment on the walk where we all held hands and Rachel sang Wilson Phillips, and I felt like I was 10 years old and wanted to go home and make friendship bracelets with these girls.

And my heart overflowed with gratitude and happiness.

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…
