Twelve of Twelve. A month late.

Hey! I've been busy, okay? I went to pull the pictures off of the camera on the 13th and the battery died halfway through the process and then I just...forgot. I'm defending myself to Mel. I'm crazypants.

Better late than never, right? I'm going to pretend you just said yes...

(As always, if you don't know what this 12 of 12 business is all about, check out Chad Darnell's site here. Do it anyway.)

7:06 a.m. - Late start.

Breakfast in the car. Late leaving, which means an abbreviated workout. Better than nothing, I suppose...


7:42 a.m. - The gym.

This picture makes me so, so sad. Because I love this gym. LOVE. But I'm canceling the membership because it's no longer doable with my budget. But it's amazing. If you're a gazillionare, you should totally be working out here. This particular day, I got there in time for a quick workout and a shower. Wooo.


11:03 a.m. - Apple crumble.

The night before, I had wanted to make an apple pie. The problem was that it got to be so late in the evening that the entire apple pie-making process was going to be too much. So, I did the quick fix. APPLE CRUMBLE. It was good. I don't need this stuff around the house (because I will eat it), so I took the rest to work. I got in trouble with Maleficent for doing so, though.


12:53 p.m. - Southern girl lunch.

Because I was feeling all Southern and Texan and stuff the weekend prior, I made oven barbequed chicken, baked beans, and potato salad. Along with the afore-mentioned apple crumble. Of course, there was an intense amount of leftovers, so I took some to work. Bad idea. Two words: FOOD COMA.


1:42 p.m. - Undercovers Blues.

Except how can you be blue when Boris Kodjoe is in your office complex? I mean, honestly. Yes, Undercovers was filming in Century Park and it was totally cool.


3:35 p.m. - Starbucks!

Time for iced tea. The barista is so nice -- she's one of the new kids on the block.


4:34 p.m. - Meetings!

Water for the meeting I had to go and set up. Much better than that nasty Arrowhead stuff. Team Sparkletts! (Even though, yes, I realize this is Crystal Geyser.)


7:36 p.m. - Glee!

(That was meant to be heard in the chirpy singy voice from the "previouslies" in which they're all, "Here's what you missed on...GLEE!")

Liz T. is a member of the Paley Center for Media and was able to procure tickets for us to an "Inside the Writers' Room" event at the Writers Guild Theatre in Beverly Hills. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan told us all what it was like to write an episode of Glee. Muy interesting.


9:25 p.m. - The Triv.

I didn't think I was actually going to be able to make it to trivia due to the previous event, however it let out in plenty of time. So, I joined up with my crew for some pub trivia magic.


11:32 p.m. - L.A. in a nutshell.

The 10E/110N transition ramp has been closed for construction intermittently over the past few months, so one has to detour. This means driving through another construction area where they seem to be working on light rail tracks. I have to say that I do approve of this -- even if it makes driving late at night exceptionally wonky.


11:50 p.m. - Coziness. Again.

I need to be more creative. I've just realized that I take a picture of my bedroom pretty much every month. It's kind of like Zankou in that way. But yeah. This is where I sleep and it's awesome. I love that it's clean in this picture. I had dusted and vacuumed in preparation for my vacation because I love coming home to a clean place.


11:59 p.m. - Community!

So, because there was a panel at Comic Con -- and because "Modern Warfare" was one of the most brilliant things I saw on television (er, Hulu) last season -- I decided that I needed to watch Community in its entirety. I wasn't a fan of the pilot, so I never really picked the show up. But I'm so glad I decided to go back and rewatch. So, so funny.


I have so much more to say, but I'll save that for another shmoopy post. Because is it ever schmoopy. Be warned.
