Tell us where to go!

(I feel like this title is just inviting inappropriate remarks.)

My friend Ashley and I want some help choosing where to go on a road trip in two weeks! On Friday, September 27, we’ll have a random number generator choose our trip from the entries our friends have submitted. We’ll leave after work on Friday for a surprise adventure!


How it works:
Use the Google form below to submit an entry. Please check the rules first! On September 27, we’ll log into the form, see how many entries there are, and then use a random number generator to choose a number for us. Whichever suggestion corresponds to that number is the trip we’ll go on! If that suggestion didn’t meet the trip criteria, we’ll use the number generator again.

The rules:
The destination must be...
- within 6 hours of SLC
- no longer than a 6 mile hike (round trip... I’ve got that bad hip)
- legally accessible without a permit or reservation
- someplace we can drive to in my Subaru Forester 
- an appropriate place for us to visit publicly (no weird sex clubs or anything like that)
- not an LDS temple (Ashley is LDS, I am not)
- beginner level (if it’s a canyon). It can be technical, but we’re not doing X-rated stemming or 300 foot rappels off water traps or any of that nonsense.

You may submit more than one entry.

Why are we doing this? 
Well, I’ve kind of exhausted all my options for visiting national parks (without a lot of money and effort, that is). 😂 SLC is in such a great location... we think we will get ideas for trips we never would have thought of! Plus, this will just be a really fun adventure and surprise!

We got this idea from my friend Scott Jones (with his permission). We borrowed heavily from his blog post. Scott and his girlfriend did this and ended up at the International Banana Museum! Scott has visited all 419 national park sites as well as a bunch of other interesting sites. I don’t think anyone loves public lands as much as him!

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…
