Sunday Funday

Sunday can be summed up in the text I sent to Jason on Monday:

"Thanks for being my friend even when I'm freaking out about a rappel or throwing up or yelling at you about The Secret." (This was preceded by the Pinterest quote below.)


We packed a cooler and headed to a beautiful 180 foot waterfall, which we rappelled. Jason went first, and I proceeded to freak out at the top. (It's scary to be last one down! There's no one there to check and make sure you're clipped in correctly! I'd much rather be first!) But I imagined Kristin saying, "Suck it up, Buttercup," and then I saw a dad and his two sons hiking up to the waterfall and thought, "I can't wimp out now," so I lowered myself over the edge and sang "Let It Go," pausing occasionally to curse when my hair kept getting stuck in my rappel device. I'm sure I put on quite a show. I have a feeling I'm one of the only people who can still manage to look like a total nerd while doing something badass.


Our next stop was the Flintstones Living Room, an amazing spot where people built furniture out of the boulders on top of a mountain. We hung out and had a few drinks and enjoyed the view. Jason drove home, and it was during this time that I ranted to him about the Secret and how that's the solution to his problems, then made him pull over so I could throw up. I only had two drinks; I was car sick more than anything else. But bourbon makes me slightly rant-y, so that didn't help my case when I claimed that I wasn't that drunk.

All in all, a fun day with a fun friend.

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…
