Reading: I have fallen behind on my 50 books in a year challenge and I’m afraid that I won’t finish it. I have gotten busy now that the Holidays are here and I haven’t been reading as much. I am pretty pleased with the books I have read this month: Savages, Silver Linings Playbook and Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares (reviews to follow). Currently I have picked up On the Road by: Jack Kerouac, I know I’m super behind, but I’ve always wanted to read it and now that the movie is about to come out I have to hurry up and finish the book first. It’s written really haphazardly and it took a little while to get used to the style but I’m enjoying it this far.

Watching: I’m getting really excited that it’s almost time to start watching Frosty. I try to keep myself from watching or listening to Christmas things until December 1st but I failed this year because we went out and got our tree last weekend (we waited until after Thanksgiving). I’m actually really enjoying most of my shows this year. I haven’t added very many new ones, I think the only new ones that I have picked up and stuck with are New Normal, Nashville and Partners. I’m getting kind of annoyed with Glee. I wish they wouldn’t focus so much on McKinley and go back to Rachel and Kurt in New York, they are much more interesting and I’m missing my quality Lea time... plus WTF is Quinn?! I thought they were bringing everybody back and I’m pretty sure she is the only one who hasn’t shown up yet.

Listening to: A LOT of Les Miserables. I’m getting really excited for the movie. Seriously I about bawl my eyes out every time I watch the trailer (which is about ten times a day). Super pumped. I’ve also been listening to a lot of the Pitch Perfect Soundtrack, mostly just the songs that have Skylar Astin in them, because I love his voice and him and think we should get married and have babies tomorrow.... Anyways, I’m getting ready to put together my Christmas Playlist I think I’m going to add some new stuff to it this year.

Loving: The Holidays. I love getting to spend time with my family. It’s amazing I can’t wait for my brother to be finished with his finals so that he can come home for break! Boyfriend and I got to cut down and decorate our first tree together, it was a blast. We both had so many ornaments from our parents that we didn’t even need to buy more, we still did of course but the tree probably would still have looked just as full without them.

Looking Forward to: Christmas. Hot Chocolate. Frosty. Rudolph. Martina McBride’s “Do You Hear What I Hear.” Presents (giving and receiving). Visiting Family.

Reading: Just finished Perks of Being a Wallflower for the second time. Man so much happens! I had forgotten a lot of the side things that happen to the secondary characters. It’s such a fantastic book and if you haven’t read it I highly recommend it. I just started reading Gone Girl by: Gillian Flynn, it’s interesting. Everyone that I’ve seen that’s read it says its amazing, so we shall see. As of right now I feel myself loving Amy’s diary entries and I’m a little bored with David in the present but he doesn’t know she’s gone yet so I have a feeling it will pick up.

Watching: All of the new seasons of all my shows! I’ve been pretty pleased with all the premiere so far, with the exception of How I Met Your Mother.... there’s no excuse... pick up your game! New Girl probably wins the cake for the best premiere of a returning show so far. The first two episodes were so good and absolutely hilarious, keep it up Elizabeth Meriwether, keep it up! I have also started watching Parenthood on Netflix..... Obsessed. Love the Braverman’s.  They’re really warm and cozy. I find myself being drawn to shows and movies about close families, probably because I come from one.

Listening to: Lots of laid back indie chill music. I’m seriously obsessed with the fall playlist I made. I listen to it everyday. I’ve also been listening to a lot of Mandy Moore, especially her album Wild Hope. It’s such a good album and I identify with it quite a bit. She is such a good song writer and I just love her voice so much. This is a Mandy Moore Appreciation Blog....

Thinking about: Christmas presents... I know it’s still a little early but I like to get my people something that is really thoughtful and heartfelt. I don’t like to get my friends and family gift cards or something generic. I think I have a pretty solid idea for what I’m going to get almost everyone. Boyfriend is seeming to be pretty difficult because he wants to go buy himself the thing I would like to buy him.

Loving: This weather!! It is finally chilly enough to wear a scarf, tights, and boots! Yay Fall. I’m really weird and I don’t like to drink hot Starbucks drinks until like the middle of September or when it gets chilly enough... however I did cheat a little this year because of the show. I need some warm Starbucks for my throat.

Looking Forward to: October, it is my most favorite of all the months. I know everybody says that. I found myself being really grumpy yesterday because I felt like everyone was encroaching on my month but he assured me there is enough of October to share. I’m excited to go pick pumpkins, drink apple cider, have bonfires, make smores and dress up for Halloween. Yay October. Don’t go by really fast please!

That’s what I’ve been up to latetly. xoxo.
