Things to Do This Summer

Only four weeks till summer!! Every year I make list of what I hope to accomplish over the summer. This has led to some amazing adventures, like my first slot canyon and the beginning of the Mississippi River. Here is this year's list, which is still a work in progress:

1. Hike on the trail with Sasquatch sitings
2. Sleep under the stars (dirtbag it!)
3. Frolic in an alpine meadow
4. Rhubarb Festival
5. Eat a blue sno-cone 
6. Make out at a drive in
7. Go to an observatory and look at stars 
8. Research picks for Fantasy Football
9. Catch fireflies
10. See the river in the Galiuros that only appears at night
11. See fireworks on the 4th
12. Powell's bookstore
13. At least one Northwest canyon
14. Explore more swimming holes in AZ
15. Host a formal cocktail party
16. Go on a bird walk 
17. Pacheta Falls
18. Get in some R-rated stemming in Utah
19. Hike on part of the Oregon trail
20. Donuts and pie and chocolate and ice cream in Portland
21. Read A Midsummer Night's 
Dream
22. Cliff jumping (but only if I can find someone to hold my hand and a cliff that isn't *too* high, because I am terrified to do this)

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…
