1st Friday of Fall Y’all: TGIF

In โ™ฅ & Soul, Community, Feline Friday, Fitness Friday, Floral Friday, Foodie Friday, Foto Friday, Home Sweet Home, Public Interest, Relationships, Travel, Weekly Wonders, What's Hot, Yours Truly on 09/25/2015 at 20:45

Thank GOD It’s Fall!

Moon Rise

Facing east for the moon rise from my backyard gardenย … Just another West Texas Friday night!

As much as โ˜ผsummerโ˜ผ 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 aboutย Starbucks seasonal flavors*ย ~ from โ˜ผsummer’s fruitiness to these comfy delights:

Salted Caramel Mocha Frap

My latest Starbucks Gold Card reward redeemed: Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino!

Starbucks Cold Cup

My venti cold cup always comes in handy … for a discount & a drink to last me all โ˜ผday!

Toasted Graham Frap

Apparently, I was my local barista’s 1st customer to order a Toasted Graham Frappuccino! #StarbucksLovers โ™ฅ #trendsetter

Furthermore, football has kicked off into full swing!

Refreshments Reinforcements

I refreshed my โ™ฅheartโ™ฅ & โ˜ผsoulโ˜ผ with โ™ฅAdorationโ™ฅ โ€ Chapelโ€  holy hour at โ€ Churchโ€  & with this โ˜ผspiritโ˜ผ book + my bod with this Graham Goodness! (Even though I’ll cover up more, I’ll definitely still tone up with whatever energy I still can muster in the midst of working on my dissertation!

Here are a few of my favorite things for fall …

Howl-o-ween Hype

Trunk or Treat: โ˜ผSunshineโ˜ผ (my truck) tailgate was decked out with festive decor that featured โ™ฅA&Aโ™ฅย when we gave candy to my โ€ Churchโ€  students last Howl-o-ween!

Nine Fine Fall Flaves

1. Favorite Candle: myย Bath & Body WorksSalty Caramel that I used to light up my *Dallas Cowboys* jack-o-lantern and Advent โ€ crossโ€ ย (I’m also all about BBW‘sย Pumpkin Pecan Waffles/White Barn‘sย Thanksgiving Morning)
2. Favorite Lip Color: toss-up between my redย Ardency Inn โ™ฅLoveโ™ฅ Catย lipstick from Sephora or purpleย 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 tryย Dulce Candy‘s tip on lip colors in a pill box for cheek colors!
5. Favorite Clothing Item: my birthday giftsย ~ specifically the scarf/shawl ~ and my recent online finds plus my Target scoresย ~ particularly the jeans and booties!
6. Favorite Fall Movie: no new releases, so I’ll go with classic football flicks: Varsity Bluesย (came out my sr. yr.),ย Friday Night Lightsย (with a cameo of my h.s.),ย Remember the Titans,ย Any Given Sunday,ย The Longest Yardย (including the original)
7. Favorite Fall Show:ย Grey’s โ™ฅAnatomy!!! 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 –> myย Cranberry Pieย #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 asย Lone Ranger‘sย Tonto and in 2014 as my Nurse Mom who was fine in 1969! Will I make aย 3-peat??

Actually, please allow me to add a 10th item:

My #1 Favorite for Fall: my โœŒtwoโœŒย โ™ฅcute, cuddly companionsโ™ฅย with whom to softly snuggle for cozy comfortย plus who keep me company while hard at work and welcome me home after hard at play!

CHEERS to this time of year!

Feline Foodie Friday: Cat Mama Chronicles ~ Wilderness Wellnessย 

In โ™ฅ & Soul, Community, Feline Friday, Foodie Friday, Health, Home Sweet Home, Public Interest, Relationships, Weekly Wonders, What's Hot, Yours Truly on 08/14/2015 at 09:40

Have you seen ๐ŸŽฌcommercials๐Ÿ“บ in which moms choose food for their kids because it’s healthy, and their children end ย up liking it because it’s tasty?ย 

Enter Blue Wilderness! Fitting name for my Double As: Blueย for my blue-eyed Asia &ย Wilderness for my wild catย Annie!


This cat food boasts that it’s ๐ŸžGrain Free, which would agree with ๐Ÿ‘‘Queen ๐ŸฏAsia‘s tummy!

And it turns out that ๐Ÿ‘‘Princess ๐ŸฑAnnie๐Ÿˆ actually prefers it too! Maybe it’s because these morsels look like Cocoa Puffs? J/s

I weened them off their previous ๐Ÿ˜บcat๐Ÿ˜ธ ๐Ÿ›chow๐Ÿฒ prior to switching permanently, and over the past couple of weeks before they ran out of their old food, they ate around it while begging for their brand new preference!

Ear Mite Remedy

ย Despite preventative care, I’ve noticed Big *ASIA* scratching her ears lately & have provided relief!

Cat in the Basket

ย  What’s the point of a laundromat?ย When you haveย ๐Ÿ‘˜Laundry๐Ÿ‘– ๐Ÿ˜ปCat๐Ÿ˜ธ!

Caught Pink Pawed

ย ๐ŸฑAnnie๐Ÿˆ can fit, but she can’t ๐Ÿ™ˆhide!

Annie-mal

ย ๐Ÿ˜บAnnie-mal๐Ÿ˜ธ has owl eyes * ๐Ÿฎcow spots๐Ÿ„ * bushy๐Ÿบ squirrel tail * ๐Ÿตmonkey๐Ÿ™Š ๐Ÿ™‰cry๐Ÿ’

Not only must I keep up with myself, I have to make sure that I take care of my little ones at home!

Aside from regular medical maintenance

I also keep up with A&A‘s grooming
IMG_9092

  • bathing / showering
  • brushing and wiping

IMG_9093Since I taught in South Texas away from my Double A-Team last โ˜ผsummerโ˜ผ, I returned to three hairballs from Sweet Annieย 

IMG_9075 IMG_9078 IMG_9079

And I finally was able to remove her last one last month!

IMG_9077 IMG_9076

The key to myย Pretty Kitties‘ beauty is

IMG_9094

to make this a fun, rewarding and purrfectย experience for them

IMG_9082 IMG_9083 IMG_9084 IMG_9085IMG_9086 IMG_9087IMG_9103… even if they’re led intoย a wildย mouse chaseย (almost literally)!

IMG_9347IMG_9349IMG_9343IMG_9344IMG_9345 IMG_9351IMG_9353IMG_9354

Now that they’ve burned calories to consume calories: time forย catnip!

El Tigre

This Ocelot has green eyes like Sweet Annie! I purchased this painting from my former student/massage therapist‘s studio en el Valle!

By the time I hit the BiG ๐ŸŽ‰3-3๐ŸŽŠ, I figured that I’d already be a mommy!

Although I don’t have children of my own (yet), I’m still blessed to have my PURRfect ๐ŸฏA&A๐Ÿฑ angels๐Ÿ˜ป.

GOD’s gifts always grace me with their presence, for which I’m forever grateful.
