there are are few things i really enjoy about living provo, ut.

like:

cougar tails

big hair

the real possibility of seeing robert while at sundance (redford. duh.)

mountains

college students singing loudly on their way to class

the list goes on.

but, by far my favorite part of living here is autumn:

i'm a little sad to see fall go this year.

the forecast says snow this weekend, which means winter is really happening. again.

how is that possible?

oh well, i guess it's time for little women & hot coco to mark the occasion.

on another note:

i have been making a conscious effort to not let teaching take over my life

and let me tell ya---it is not easy

but, a few things have helped:

1. one word: pinterest

uh-mazing. check out my boards.

2. have you seen this???

it is my new amc fav while i wait for mad men to return.

we were obsessed for a couple days there; zombie references left and right.

3. and this:

thanks to this list, i'm doing a lot better at leaving school at school.

cause it's hard to worry about the 200 teenagers you spend all day with

when you are pinning recipes, while drinking calm tea, and planning your escape route if there is a zombie apocalypse.

that's right. there's nothing like zombies to relax you at the end of a long day.

p.s. happy musical monday!
