Today is my last day of work before I'm off for a whole week for the Holidays!
I'm beyond excited!
I'm leaving for my parent's house tomorrow and it is going to be a day filled with holiday cheer!
First, we're going to have our (extended) family Christmas at my aunt's house! That should be an adventure, since her house is prettyyyyy small. But she felt a little left out since we've had Christmas basically everywhere else (even my apartment!) so we're giving her this one.
I'm still super excited!
Then, basically right after family Christmas, it's friend Christmas!
We started this little tradition last year and it was so fun, so we decided it obviously had to go on!
Last year, we drank wine and baked/decorated Christmas cookies.
Well, this year we're going to have a Gingerbread House competition!!
It's going to be parents vs children, which should be exciting.
I'm a bit competitive, so things may get a little out of hand.
Okay, so I'm really competitive. A lifetime of doing well at band & orchestra competitions didn't exactly make me humble.

My World is Changing
Most definitely.
I've almost been at my first big girl job for almost 6 months!
I've had Rory for just a little over a month!
My roommate for over a year just moved out!
My dream job is an open position on Kate Spade's website!!
That's just a peak into what is going on in my life, lately.
It can be a lot to handle at one time, but I'm getting through it!
My job has had it's ups and downs lately, but I am so grateful for the experiences it is giving me. The people here are truly wonderful and though sometimes I disagree with the operations of things, I love the work that I'm doing.
Rory is still the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my life! His potty-training is going well and he's so playful! Although I have to admit, he probably isn't my biggest fan right now: We haven't been on a walk in almost a week because it has just been so cold. Maybe soon! For now he's just zooming around the apartment and absolutely enjoying himself when I have company over and they want to love on him!
My roommate! (Ex roommate?) Well, we had a good run these past 18 months, but she had to move on to bigger things! Those bigger things? Her belly! She's pregnant, and so for the good of herself and her future child, she has moved back to be near her family! It's kind of nice to have the place all to myself (at least temporarily) but I am in process of locating someone to take over her lease! Until I find someone, her room has become my craft room! It's definitely exciting.
AND THE BEST NEWS OF ALL.
My DREAM JOB is open at Kate Spade & Company!
And I APPLIED FOR IT!
I'm definitely qualified, but the fact that I would have to move might be a downside that keeps me from getting it. Also the fact that I only have about 2 years of experience in my field and most of the is through internships.
It might be a bit of a reach, but no one ever got anywhere by just sitting still and staying exactly where they are!
Here's hoping something comes of it!!
So, all these life changes and yet my life still seems so boring.
I'm sure with the holidays coming up that will all change very soon!
If anything big and exciting (or even little and seemingly unsignificant!) has happened to you recently, tell me all about it!
I looooove comments and emails!

So, About That
Aaaand it's been almost a month since I last posted.
I am just all over the place lately!
I'm thinking I need to sit down and reorganize my life; it seems ever since starting my real job it's been more difficult for me to follow a set schedule. Well, I need to fix that!
So, I've decided: Starting on Sunday, I am going to create a new schedule for myself!
I'm a type of person who likes to have a bit of disarray in my life, but for the most part I need structure. Basically just a basic plan of when I'm going to do the few things I consider important: walking my dog, working on projects, blogging, etc.
So, here we go.
I'm going to use this blog to hold me accountable and maybe that will be the kick in the rear that I need to get back in the swing of things!!
Bonus:
Here's a picture of my adorable puppy, Rory, in his new reindeer antlers! SO CUTE!

Hi There!
My name's Brittany, which I'm sure no one knows because IT HAS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I BLOGGED, GUYS.
Sorry about that to the maybe 2 people that read this perhaps once a month!
Well, I'm back.
AND I HAVE A PUPPY. (One of thefew many reasons I've been MIA the last....how long has it been?)
His name is Rory and he's 6th months old and I adopted him from a rescue on November 8th!

His name is Rory and he's 6th months old and I adopted him from a rescue on November 8th!
He's a weirdo, but he's adorable and I LOVE HIM.
I've also been working on my portfolio and developing my new website, so maybe when all that's done I'll post a link so anyone who would like can have a looksie!
These things coupled with working all the time have really taken up a great big chunk of my life, which left little room for blogging. I'm working slightly less now though and I am doing better (still not great) with my time management, so here's hoping I keep up with this thing!! (I used to be so good at time management...what happened?)
If all goes according to plan, you'll hear from me on Friday!

All Hallows Eve
Today is the day!
One of my favorite holidays!
(Not only because I can eat my body weight in candy and it's socially acceptable. I promise.)
Halloween is just the perfect excuse to get with your friends and have a great time!
On Halloween, you can be anything you want to be, whether that be a princess, a doctor (or the doctor), a pirate, or the ridiculously overdone (but still seriously punny) cereal killer.
There's no stopping you! Unless of course you have a job and you have to work Halloween night.
In which case, I am very sorry!
I actually ended up taking off from both of my jobs for Halloween this year!
I needed to use up my PTO for my real job and well, if I'm not going into my real job, there is no way in hell that I am going to set out to Mellow. Sorry, team.
Since no one took my poll (yeah, you guys suck, btw) and I ended up spending all of my money on Clinique and Bath and Body works (hey, there's nothing wrong with wanting to look and smell nice, okay!?) I am going as the Eleventh Doctor this Halloween!!
I may or may not post pictures.
I guess it really depends on how the night goes.
We shall see!!
If anyone else has some super awesome Halloween plans, let me know!!

Halloween Help!!
Okay guys.
I am completely obsessed with Halloween.
Like, the decorations, the costumes, the candy.
It's the BEST.
But I have a problem this year!
I just cannot seem to figure out what I'd like to be for Halloween!
My friends and I are going to a party one of the fraternities at my university holds every year called "Fright Night" so I absolutely have to be something fabulous.
But also significantly nerdy, you know? Because that's just who I am.
So I am asking for YOUR help!
If you could just choose an option from the poll below, that'd be awesome!!
If you can think of something else, let me know in the comments!

Busy, Busy, Busy Bee!
Things are really picking up at work!
Which is super weird, since that is the exact opposite of what everyone was expecting!
I do the marketing and design for a Real Estate company and, as I'm sure you can assume, not many people typically move during the Fall/Winter months.
Well, not so this year, it seems!
We have had SO many new listings and closed listings I just cannot keep up with it all!
I'm designing new brochures, flyers, and postcards like a mad woman!
At least I'm keeping busy!
I also have recently been added to the blog for our company, so that's exciting!
Right now, I'm just blogging about our new listings, but maybe someday soon I'll be able to contribute some actual content!
I am also still in the works of developing a remastered social media marketing plan, so that's pretty exciting!
I know some of you out there have got to be into marketing, or at least social media, so any tips would be extremely helpful!
I learned a lot in my coursework and internships, but there's no reason to not look for a different insight into it!
