Point Reyes National Seashore

California really screwed us on this trip. Here's a list of things that have been closed that we wanted to see:

Three mountain passes (including Tioga Pass through Yosemite)
The sequoia grove at Yosemite
Trail to Mirror Lake
Big Sur
Maritime Museum
Drake Beach
Lighthouse
Fort Point
Eugene O'Neil National Historic Site

I was really looking forward to a day at Point Reyes, but when I got there, the beach I wanted to go to was closed, and so was the lighthouse. I found another beach and wanted to sit and read, but it was cold and crazy windy. I found a short hike that lead to an overlook of the beach I wanted to go to, so I did that and it was beautiful. 

 

But then it took me 3.5 hours to get to cousin Beth's house in Alameda. I hate Bay Area traffic. 

 

It was such a relief to finally get where I was going, and Beth is one of my very favorite people. I don't know how to describe it other than by saying she has good energy. We watched the Golden State Warriors win (which was fun because we could hear all the celebrations) and talked about relationships. She's one of the wisest people I know, and even she doesn't know what the heck she's doing. This makes me feel marginally better.

I also got to hang out with this sweet girl. 

 

I just love Lucy's mohawk!

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…
