BACKSTREETS BACK ALRIGHT!

no that isn't a chocolate chip smudge on your computer from last night's midnight sweet treat... I REALLY DID BLOG! sweet mother of blogspot its true. and i know what you're thinking.. "EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" and as i cowardly hide behind Russel Crowe circa the 90s {ohh those muscles!} i'm going to try my best to explain my absence!

heyyyyyy yaaa!

okay okay okay... so no i did not have a blogger breakdown or go crazy {i think we all know i'm already a tad bit of that} plain and simple my laptop broke. and combine that with my full time work schedule {6 days a week succckkuhhs. bringing home the soy, all natural, tofu-riffic bacon!} and then finally i got hooked up with an old school dell B.M. {before Mac} a couple weeks ago {thanks fodge!} but it was hard to make time for blogging again with my busy schedule {omgzzz could i BE anymore lame!?} and i had just got in the habit of not being on the computer! and i mean do i even know how to blog anymore!? ANYWAY!! enough excuses! all is well and i have found my way back to my teeny tiny corner of the interwebz. and just in time too.. ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!! and any second now i just might explode with happiness!

but first things first. where do i begin? hey maybe i'll try to make a complete thought {impossible} or try and express the joy i feel that is november {impossible} and convey how much i've missed you guys {impossible!} truly i don't even know what happened these past two months.. {i told you i'm one pair of ultra-white, orthopedic shoes away from being a senior citizen!} i blinked and it was november!

here is my best {not-so} 20 second recap:

going to see cake pop goddess BAKERELLA! {girrlfriend is the cutest lil thang}

serving cupcakes to the people of franklin as WONNNDER WOMAN! {and subsequently getting my red cape covered in frosting}

shopping my little heart out.

{where has all my money gone i wonder.. oh its hanging in my closet!}

i can't help it that i feel that if i don't swipe anything its not really spending money {see also "online shopping"} and its like christmas morning every time a package gets delivered! {see also "chelsea is a shopaholic"}

putting pesto on everything.

muhhh capn' crunch? SURE!
french bread? obvs.

with cheese? of course SON!

in my tomato soup? oh hello new favorite dinner!

pahhsta?? WHO DO YOU THINK I AM!?

people i tell you, if you're not carrying around a portable serving of pesto.. you just ain't living!

managing to wear highwater pants to the gym. everyday.

every time i pass the mirror i think "HOLY SHIT ITS STEVE URKEL! SOMEONE TELL THAT POOR SOUL!!" yet everyday i wear them. i guess thats what you get for buying three pairs of the same yoga pants with out trying them on!

all kinds of adventures in nashville.

including seeing BAND OF HORSES!!

movies at the belcourt! {midnight showing of the breakfast club anyone!? and swooning over allen ginsberg's poetry in Howl. getting my 60s music fix with the documentary of music genius phil spector. and enjoying the craziness of joaquin phoenix's I'm Still Here.}

adventure science musem! {WHERE I WALKED ON THE MOON! or something like that. MOVE OVVA BUZZ ALDRIN!}

should-be-illegally insanely delicious dinners at cabana, jackson's, and ru sans. {fried rice balls, cookie dough egg rolls, and homemade potato chips with gorgonzola cheese anyone?!}

seeing Hot Chelle Rae and loving seeing all the tween girls throw themselves at them.

FIDO's, FIDO's, oh and MORE FIDO's! i just can't get enough of their coffee!

*speaking of coffee i've got to fill you in on a little strike i had to have. yes, thats right folks i had a strike on starbucks coffee. i didn't drink their coffee for a month! {joyous red christmas coffee cups be damned! they hold such a power over me!} oh and i'm sure they noticed my absence. you know since they are a tri-jalizzion dollar company. yeah.. they totes noticed!

whipping my hair back and forth.

flea market adventures where i sweet talked an old hippie into giving me the Canon A35 Datelux camera FO FREE! {what can i say.. i have a gift. and its bartering! quick lets all go to mexico so i can get us all sombreros for ten cents!}

"BAD GIRRLS CLUB on ondemand FOR FREE!?

POP OFF SON! you gots to be yanking my chain!"

and thats how bad girls club mini marathons happen.

so yeah, thats a hot second mini glance at my life.

its good to be back!

did that make any sense to anyone?! oh well while you're trying to decipher my ramblings... i hope you have the world's greatest most simply fantastically swell day!
