Netflix Rut

We gave up on cable TV completely a few years ago.  I didn't have it growing up because they couldn't offer it to us because of where we lived.  By the time I went to college, my parents finally got the service, but I was dorm living with my own E! channel, so I was golden.  Don't get me wrong, I love sitcoms, dramas, and even the most asinine reality shows... but cable just wasn't worth it for me.

Enter: Netflix.

I've been obsessed with Netflix for going on seven or so years, before I owned any streaming device...

Now, I just stream!  We don't miss cable one bit, and we also have Hulu Plus & Amazon Prime.  I can watch any show, at any time with no commercials! That is the way life should be.  Let's face it, the world is going that way.  I consider myself a bit of a Netflix aficionado.  You name it, chances are that I have seen it. Better yet, I have probably binge watched it.

Am I a better person for it?  Besides my increased knowledge of vampires (Vampires Diaries,) how to be a doctor (Scrubs, Hart of Dixie,) my rights & the law (all three series of Law & Order) or how to make meth (Breaking Bad, ps JK Mom) I'm probably not.  Then there are the lessons that Dexter taught us, which reminds me that television shows are not how-to videos.  

Don't try any of the above at home, little chickens.

My point in all of this (if you're one of the two people probably still reading) is that I am in a serious Netflix rut.  I've revisited favorites, I've watched those movies that I have been putting off (Fargo was insanely awesome) but I need some input!  Hit me with your best shot show or movie and help me with another unnecessary obsession! What are friends for?

  Or else I will be forced to read one of the seven half read books on my kindle.

I was not asked to write this for any reason, these are just my thoughts. 

 Netflix should probably pay me not to write about them.

Disclaimer: obviously I have a life, this post might just not get that point across.  

I'm going to go play outside now.

Friday Favorites

one: i am so very excited for the 2nd annual FRIENDSGIVING at the house of my bffs!  all the good food, the great wine, and the best people.  the actual turkey day is normally reserved for family & food fights, so i am thrilled to kick back with my buds this weekend :)

two: my sister and i are gearing up to see catching fire this weekend, too.  apparently it is already out, but that shows you how much attention i pay to trailers... THEY GIVE THE WHOLE MOVIE AWAY!  I love my girl J-Law.

three:  like many of my fellow pinners, i am so intrigued by the idea of contouring!!! i did admit on twitter that i am slightly weary of the process, but i found this compact that has the two shades in one convenient package.  i want to get my hands on it to try it out. maybe, maybe.  do any of my little chickens contour? what are your favorite products?

four: it has been a hot minute since i updated you all on my netflix queue status... I know you guys were all waiting with bated breath to find out what show i am binging on this week.  HART OF DIXIE! i told my mom that i watched the first two episodes and that i thought she would like it... i talk back with her mere hours later to find out that girl binged half the first season.  (it runs in the fam!)  it really is super cute & i am super obsessed with jaime king.

five:  i put these ugg lynnea II on layaway at tj maxx a few weekends ago, and i am going to pick those beauties up on saturday.  they're beautiful and we are perfect for each other!  

have a merry weekend, xo.  

Weather Anarchy

 {dress: ross | cardi & belt & scarf: target | boots: nine west | sunglasses: michael kors | socks: ???}

The leaves are finally really falling, chickens!  The only super sad thing was that it was 75 degrees today (the crazy hair is proof of the weather being wack!)  I crave my thick knits and wearing my bright tights!  What is this nonsense? Mother Nature is rebellling! So, I've got to be totally honest with you and share that I am completely obsessed with watching Lost, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, Dr. Who, SONS OF ANARCHY on Netflix.  I average 3-4 episodes a day.  It's a non-guilty obsession, if you will.  I know I'm not the only one who can take out a complete series in a week or two, right?  What should be next on my list?? Have the loveliest of Tuesdays, dear chickens.
