Chattahoochee NRA

I got to stay with Laura in Atlanta! Laura is someone I greatly admire. We went to the same church in Phoenix, where she worked as a public defender. In Atlanta, she has her own practice doing immigration law. Her work is so important, and it was interesting to hear what immigration actually looks like from someone who’s actually in the middle of all the mess, not just the media. It is even worse than I thought.

Anyway, on my first night there, her boyfriend came over and they made the most amazing dinner with homemade pesto. We sat out on her front porch and watched the fireflies and chatted for hours. 

The next day, I visited Chattahoochee NRA, which wasn’t that exciting because it was way too hot to actually hike. Also, traffic was super stressful... I wasn’t a fan of driving in Atlanta!

That night, Laura revealed that she had never seen Toy Story 3, so we watched that and both cried our eyes out. That movie gets me every time!

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…
