When they mentioned my need for “me” time at my graduation luncheon, I doubted that I could pull it off. However, I indeed observed how refreshed some of my fellow doc candidates-turned graduates seemed following their dissertation defenses ~ a break to decompress helped them relieve stress!

To the tune of the wayback/throwback two-decade-old track by Montell Jordan:
♪This Is How I Did It♫
- 3½ ☼days☼ last week between Graduation and CHRISTmas
- +3½ ☼days☼ this week between CHRISTmas and mid-week
- = 7 ☼days☼ total (not consecutive ~ but I’ve made it count)

Thank GOD It’s Fall!
Facing east for the moon rise from my backyard garden … Just another West Texas Friday night!
As much as ☼summer☼ is my favorite season (after all, that’s when my birthday takes place), I’m making the most out of autumn ~ especially going outside for crisp, fresh air!
I’m also all about Starbucks seasonal flavors* ~ from ☼summer’s fruitiness to these comfy delights:
My venti cold cup always comes in handy … for a discount & a drink to last me all ☼day!
Apparently, I was my local barista’s 1st customer to order a Toasted Graham Frappuccino! #StarbucksLovers ♥ #trendsetter
Furthermore, football has kicked off into full swing!
Here are a few of my favorite things for fall …
Nine Fine Fall Flaves
1. Favorite Candle: my Bath & Body Works‘ Salty Caramel that I used to light up my *Dallas Cowboys* jack-o-lantern and Advent †cross† (I’m also all about BBW‘s Pumpkin Pecan Waffles/White Barn‘s Thanksgiving Morning)
2. Favorite Lip Color: toss-up between my red Ardency Inn ♥Love♥ Cat lipstick from Sephora or purple Vera Wang *Rockstar* lip gloss from ULTA (c/o my Bestie Evie)
3. Favorite Drink: please view above {Exhibits B-E}
4. Favorite Blush: the ones from my KleanKolor Double Rainbow palette, plus I think that I’ll try Dulce Candy‘s tip on lip colors in a pill box for cheek colors!
5. Favorite Clothing Item: my birthday gifts ~ specifically the scarf/shawl ~ and my recent online finds plus my Target scores ~ particularly the jeans and booties!
6. Favorite Fall Movie: no new releases, so I’ll go with classic football flicks: Varsity Blues (came out my sr. yr.), Friday Night Lights (with a cameo of my h.s.), Remember the Titans, Any Given Sunday, The Longest Yard (including the original)
7. Favorite Fall Show: Grey’s ♥Anatomy!!! I’ve been counting down for the Season 12 premiere since the Season 11 finale ~ as a loyal fan for over a decade since the very beginning with the previous seasons on DVD
8. Favorite Thanksgiving Food: I’m not going to lie –> my Cranberry Pie #DISPObustAFlow
9. Favorite Halloween Costume: now how about I have y’all pick? My personal faves include when I rocked out my abs live, No. 5 … I won our contest in 2013 as Lone Ranger‘s Tonto and in 2014 as my Nurse Mom who was fine in 1969! Will I make a 3-peat??
Actually, please allow me to add a 10th item:
My #1 Favorite for Fall: my ✌two✌ ♥cute, cuddly companions♥ with whom to softly snuggle for cozy comfort plus who keep me company while hard at work and welcome me home after hard at play!
CHEERS to this time of year!

During this ♥Valentine’s♥ week
Hello Kitty ♥Valentine’s♥ bow handcrafted by mi comadre Mona
I had 2 marriage proposals this past Wednesday alone
and a slew of gifts from my †GOD†-sent students then and yesterday!
Hence, the perks of being a single teacher
With ♥Valentine’s♥ weekend ahead
I look forward to
reaping the rewards of my photography and reporting career
by capturing ♥Valentine’s♥ babies on camera mañana
♪Ring around the Rosies♫
and covering Claudie Royals‘ birthday banquet this ☼Sunday☼
♫Pocket full of Posies♪
†GOD† has blessed me abundantly
by always being by my side
and bringing me ♥Valentines♥ who charm, warm, touch and move my ♥heart♥
Sniff, sniff: Annie takes a whiff! Smell the flowers!
After all …
Take delight in the †LORD†, and he will give you the desires of your ♥heart♥.
~ Psalm 37:4

When cats eat, they don’t look up because they don’t want to see the hand that fed them.
In ♫Weezer’s♫ words: ♪Say It Ain’t So!♪ A&A always bat their baby blues & greens to me!
This implies that felines feel entitled to be royal, while dogs always act loyal.
Salmon Delight in the House!
Yet mine must behave in order for me to reward them (they deserve the best treatment regardless) …
Both dry snacks & wet food give my felines a variety of nutrients & textures in this salmon flavor!
Therefore, while I watched The Secret on MLK Day, A&A ate and got to play! Cat Chow = MEOW! #DISPObustAFlow
