Perfect Weekend

My weekend was sublime. 

I moved to the other side of downtown due to feral cats invading my apartment. This means I live right by my favorite vegetarian restaurant, Green. Laura and I met for dinner there on Friday night.

I went for a hike on Hieroglyphics Trail out in the Supes on Saturday morning. It was a little crowded, but exactly what I wanted. 3 miles, not too difficult, and scenic. The petroglyphs were really cool.



I spent the rest of the day making chocolate chip cookies and getting acquainted with my new kitchen. I ate cookie dough for dinner and watched Sweet Home Alabama. (I still remember watching that movie in college with my ex... We weren't dating at the time, and that night he asked me why we weren't together, and I asked why he'd want to date me anyway, and he said, "So I can kiss you whenever I want," just like in the movie.)

I got to sing with the worship band on Sunday morning, and we did a mashup of "Uptown Funk" and a traditional hymn. So. Much. Fun. And then I found out after church that the drummer is also the drummer in a pretty famous band. I got to perform with a legit rock star! 

Sia came to see me sing, and we had lunch at Mucho Macho Taco. Then I went to the library, and then I baked even more cookies and sat outside in the sun and read a really trashy romance novel.

I realize this is not a very exciting weekend, but it was full of all my favorite things and I am just so grateful for days like this. 

Next weekend will be a whole different kind of happy- canyoneering at Death Valley!

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…
