Spiral Jetty


I took my parents to see the Spiral Jetty, and they were suitably impressed. 

 

 
        

(From the shores of the Great Salt Lake, Pastor Tom delivers a sermon on the parable of the Indiana Gooney Bird..... According to Dad, an Indiana Gooney Bird flies in ever decreasing concentric circles until it flies up its own ass.)

Dad really wanted to see Golden Spike National Historic Site, and we arrived at just in time for a reenactment. It got a little long, but I guess that's exactly the way it happened. It was way more interesting than the last time I was there, when I just looked at the train, watched the 20 minute video, and left.

Dave and Mom were curious about Temple Square, so we looked around and tried to avoid the sister missionaries, who are sweet and only trying to do their job, but we were not interested in converting. 

Our last stop of the day was Proper Burger, which was soooo good. My coworkers rave about it, and now I know why!

While relaxing at home and watching Fixer Upper, Dad was talking about the shiplap he's using in the basement renovation. I asked him if he was going to paint it white, and he said, "God, no! It'd be like living in a toilet!"

Oh, and Mom wore her "Lucky shrooming" shirt today. Just a typical day with my parents.

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…
