New Hampshire Day 1

It’s only been a few days since New Hampshire, and I already don’t remember it all! This is why I need to blog every day. 

On Tuesday, I began my time in New Hampshire visiting Sculptured Rocks Natural Area. Such a cool spot (a little slot canyon in the making), but clearly this was a place to visit with your friends and your swimsuit and a cooler. 







(Fun with Instagram)

Next, I drove to the top of Mount Washington, the highest point in the Northeast. I felt like such a loser! When I was in line to take my picture at the summit I was chatting with these two guys who were probably in their 50’s and had done the hike and it was embarrassing to be just another regular tourist who hadn’t worked for the summit at all. But they didn’t seem to be judging me. And I will confess... even if I wasn’t having hip problems, I wouldn’t want to do that hike. Why do a hike that climbs over 4,000 feet when you can go for a leisurely, narrated drive? (They give you a cd to listen to during the drive.)

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…
