i'm good at escaping but better at flaking out

so i've been a little m.i.a.  i've had a lot of stuff going on and haven't had as much time to post as of late.  i've also had a dip in energy, as in none.  everyone loves the fall, and living in so cal i used to (even though the changes were minor, the weather was nicer), but for some reason the va seasons really hit me a lot harder.  i never got s.a.d. (seasonal affective disorder) in so cal, but i definitely feel it's effects here.  combined with the colder weather (and it seems like it just hits from out of the blue one day) really just put me in a hibernation preparation mode.  (this last week and this weekend have been super warm though, like uncomfortably warm, but i'm expecting it to start chilling any time now.)

oh, and also?  netflix putting out all of last season's shows?  one of my favorite things about fall.  it's like a buffet. once upon a time, the office, parks and rec, 30 rock, vampire diaries, psych (soon, i hope), hart of dixie, call the midwife, bomb girls.  i can't stop.  i won't stop.

for now, until i get my energy up again, here's a quick collage of some of the things that have been going on:

clockwise from top right: a dried up frog i found on top of my dryer (under some stuff i had piled there), pretty gate, gorgeous military coat i pulled the trigger on, just deep conditioning my hairs, fruit and veggie haul, and i got my pastel ends cut off (and am trying the natural curls look this season to give my hair a break.

and here's a fun Which Midwife Are You? quiz.  i got cynthia.
