Wolfe’s Neck and L.L. Bean

I am so behind on blogging, but luckily the past few days haven’t been too eventful. My last day in New Hampshire was ruined by rain (just a steady downpour all day), so I didn’t actually get to do any of the hikes I wanted to do at Franconia Notch. Oh darn, guess I’ll have to go back there someday. 

The next morning I visited Waterford, Maine, which is the town my ancestors settled. That will get a whole post by itself, because I took a million pictures and got a tour from a member of the historical society. 

After my morning in Waterford, I spent a few hours at Wolfe’s Neck State Park. I sat on the rocks with my feet in the ocean and read a good book. I was totally blissed out. 





I got this hat at Target before I left Utah, and I thought it looked so stupid on me, but I wanted it to be my “Maine beach” hat. So I put it on when I got to the beach, and all of a sudden it didn’t look stupid! But maybe that’s all in my head. Probably. Whatever, it made me happy!

My next stop was the L.L. Bean flagship store, which was HUGE. It’s a whole campus, and it’s open 24 hours. I always thought L.L. Bean was just for old people, but apparently I fit in that category because I went a little nuts. Half of the second floor was devoted to Women’s Petites! When you find clothes that fit, AND they’re an extra 25% off (there was a big sale), how can you not take advantage of that? Plus I need some warm sweaters for Newfoundland, right?? 

Anyway, it was a good day.

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…
