Spooky


I just realized I never blogged about one of the best weekends ever.

Me, Kristin, and Jason have the best dynamic. For some reason, when we travel together, it just works. I think we balance each other out.

We hadn’t had a chance to travel together since our summer trip over a year before, so we were super excited to spend a weekend at Lake Mead last October. The plan was to leave super early Saturday morning. Jason woke up, then fell back asleep and was a few hours late. I was pissed.

When he finally showed up, we went to load the car and realized my keys were locked inside it. I had lost my moral high ground.


After a visit from AAA, we were off.

Since our hiking time was shortened, we had to modify our plans. Kristin found us a nice little slot called Spooky right off the highway. It was surprisingly pretty, and the perfect place to stop and play for a little while. We were so excited to be exploring together again, and my heart just overflowed with love for these two. There was nowhere else I’d rather be. The whole weekend was just a big love fest.

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…
