Thursday Things -- A Reintroduction

So I'm on the verge of 100 followers on bloglovin' which is probably enough to give me a heart attack, but it means there are lots of new people here! I've seen a lot of "reintroduction" posts lately, so I figured now's as good a time as any! Also, today you can catch me on the Blog Baton -- which if you're not already following, you really should be. So, here we go! 
name : actually, it's Kathleen if I'm in trouble or the waiter is reading my credit card. I go by Kasey, my parents gave me that nickname when I was born because they didn't want me to be called Katie. fun fact:  my dad had a stalker named Katie, so that's where Kasey comes from. My mom has also told me she wanted to name me Zoe. So there's that. 

age : okay, I'm 25. I don't want to talk about it. I wanted to stay 22 forever. 22 was a good year. 

why did I start blogging : I think I originally set "Kasey at the Bat" up when I was moving to California for work, but I really started blogging after I built a couple of social media programs and also I was told I really should after my blogs about winter meetings. [ps, it's super weird to be able to go to someone else's blog + see your name as a category..]

where am I : Atlanta, currently. I am always disappointed when the flight attendants only say "Welcome to Atlanta." If I ever got into working for an airline, I would always close with "welcome to Atlanta where the playas play" because. you have to.  

what do I blog about : okay, so it's a lot of sports stuff, working in sports, lists about really anything, and I link up confessions every Wednesday, because I think my life is pretty hilarious...


it's happy hour, I'm drinking a : tequila sunrise. yum. 

most recent netflix binges : Scandal, Warehouse 13, HIMYM, AND ON OCTOBER FIRST, GILMORE GIRLS. 

favorite teams : Braves, UGA, Falcons, Blackhawks (okay, so I'm a little bit of a bandwagon fan, they keep taking my hockey teams away..) I love a good MiLB game, no matter who the team is..

guilty pleasures : disney channel original tv shows, really any kind of animated movie, the SyFy channel, Reece's in the freezer, rereading Harry Potter books, 90's pop music...

 So, that's a lot you probably didn't want to know just learned, tell me about you! Guilty pleasures, favorite cocktails, netflix binges, I wanna know it all! 

Weekly Wishes + A Giveaway!

Oh, Monday. Here you are again. I'm in a substantially better mood than last Monday because the Falcons played pretty well on Thursday night and UGA did okay too... So we're back again for weekly wishes with the Nectar Collectivelet's see how I did!
last week’s wishes ::

use "teach yourself photography" lessons every day // I took easily 400 pictures last week. how about that? I mean, I like to take a bunch of pictures at once to make sure I get a good one [+ even more candid ones, because those are usually so much better]. I shared some from the Braves game, how do you think I'm doing?

continue to limit spending on dining out // ALL I wanted for dinner Thursday night was takeout + I managed to refrain mostly because I didn't want to miss any of TNF. So I did well again this week! 

Work out every day this week // okay so I didn't get any long runs in, or even any really long walks in, but I did get about a mile every day -- so that totally counts. 

this week's wishes ::

organize my closet // Thursday night I cleaned the apartment, obviously because it wasn't on my to-do list for the week. I have an oversized walk in closet that will hold all of my clothes and probably could be a bedroom, so I shouldn't have piles of clothes on the floor, because apparently at 25 you're supposed to pretend to be an adult. So closet organization + maybe cleanout are in order. 

write + schedule my posts for #blogtober14 // in keeping with my new addiction to blogging every weekday, I've already decided which prompts I'm going to use so, in theory, I should be able to write those ahead of time + schedule them. hello preplanning!

plan something cool for Thursday because I'm holding the Blog Baton! // YEAH! You read that right! I will be taking over the Blog Baton Instagram on Thursday, September 25th + I'll have to do some fun stuff, obviously! 

Hand in hand with my September goal of increasing followers, I'm participating in this killer giveaway that Rebekah put together! What would you do with $100 to J. Crew?
