Welcome, Fall!

I am so excited for the arrival of fall in AZ! Of course, that means highs of 90... But the evenings are cooler, and 90 feels good after the heat and humidity of monsoon season.

I talked Jason into a Scary Movie Night to celebrate fall. I stopped by Starbucks and got us Spiced Pumpkin beverages and then we watched The Conjuring



I told the girl at Starbucks about our movie night, and I thought it was so cute how she wrote that on our drinks. I tried to get Jason to take a selfie with our beverages, but he refused. He's a good friend, but he has his limits.

The Conjuring was super creepy! It is based on a true story, which makes it even scarier. I am fascinated by Ed and Lorraine Warren would be interested in visiting their occult musuem. (But no, I would not lick anything in there, despite what Jason suggests!)

Jason kept asking, "Are you going to be okay?"

"Of course!" I said. "As long as I don't wake up at 3:07 a.m."

And I totally did. I mean, not at 3:07, but right around then, which, as everyone knows, is Satan's hour. So I texted Jason and told him I was pretty sure there were shadows in my closet. I was pleasantly surprised to hear a response... I thought, "Oh, how nice to not be alone in my freak out." And then I read his text- "Just don't look under your bed."

Rude.

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…
