didjya miss me?

I just saw Whitney's comment asking where I've been, and I suppose I owe my 3 loyal readers an explanation....sorry y'all!!!

I've just been working like a crazy lady, that's it. Some nights I don't get home until 9pm, so I literally eat dinner (sometimes in bed...don't tell) and then go to sleep. There was a little bit of work drama about possibly relocating to NYC, but it wasn't the right time for that move.....so the ATL gets to try to handle me for a little while longer.

I've taken up kickboxing at a local studio, which I go to 3x a week at 6:30am. I'm loving it....I'm more toned and my skin is actually more clear from all the stress release and extra water I'm drinking. Funny how mentally beneficial punching a bag for an hour straight can be!

I celebrated my 24th birthday a few weeks ago, which was super fun. My work besties made me feel sooo special. The next weekend I went home for T-giving and had a good visit. This past weekend I decorated my little piece of home for Christmas...with my American Girl doll's Christmas tree, some pine candles, tinsel and an Advent Calendar from Trader Joe's. Joyeux Noel!

I'm still reading everyone else's happenings, don't worry....I never forget to check on my blog-friends.

PS: Gossip Girl is b-a-n-a-n-a-s this season.

uhhhhh, I knew about this appearance, but forgot about it until I saw it posted on a fan-y blog.




I mean I lahve Caleb, but he's kind of out of his element, no? Might I dare say he sounds a little redneck?

Doesn't even matter, though. I would watch it on mute, the man is so pretty.

yeesh.

Sophia Loren......the original Snooki?

I am NOT ready for fall. Everyone around me is obsessed with sweaters and pumpkin-flavored everything and bonfires. Beh. Not me....I'm hanging on to Indian Summer for dear life. I wore a printed mini skirt today with bare legs and a cashmere sweater and froze my buns off. Plus, I need to figure out a Halloween costume idea and I haven't the foggiest.

however....I did recover a lost vegan pumpkin bread recipe that I'll begrudgingly make whenever I get around to buying all the rando ingredients like baking soda and nutmeg.

In other news, I started kickboxing class this morning at 6:30. AM. And after this crrrrrazy week at work we get a 3-day weekend.

Waa Waa Wee Waa!

Based only on the videos on interviews with the boys I've watched, I feel like Jared and I have a very similar (immature?) sense of humor.


.

The boys lookin' groovy in what I can only imagine is the album insert photography for Come Around Sundown. Jared is giving serious FACE. Werk it out, girl.

Has anyone heard Radioactive on the radio yet? I have not, but it was released as a single a couple weeks ago.



I like the color treatment of the video. All the little black children at a picnic? I don't comprehend it....but I don't hate it either. I think the song sounds really beautiful with the choir.



suuuper cute BTS video

PS, it's been a long time, huh? Sorry about that, friends!
