To stay in the spirit for this season, I decked out with a little bit of my autumn aesthetics ~ ringing in the old with the new!
My little splurge to bring me cheer this time of year : this rad-in-plaid deer because plaid is on-trend (this one somewhat resembles Burberry) + it’s deer season (not that I’m a hunter) & rein deer season ‘s just around the corner ~ so I’ll adorn it with special ornaments! Just to add to my eccentricity, I named this bad boy DOC to keep me motivated as I keep truck ing along (more in high-speed ) toward my doctoral degree ! Along with Doc are A&A ‘s *Dallas Cowboys* TD toy for football season & my classic Halloween decor ~ including Ba dt z-Maru pillow ~ on this plaid spread that accompanies autumn yet also is appropriate for winter as we approach CHRIS†mas in red & green!
Here’s more info on my fall favorites to take yours truly through this sweater weather & before the snow hits our neck of the woods …
13 Pre-Howl -o-ween Fave Fall Things
What’s the best fall memory you have? ~ football games, both when I was in h.s. & when I’d see my *Dallas Cowboys* live (everything’s BIGGER in TX)
What’s your favorite book you’re reading (or have read) this fall?~ Guts Grace & Glory (football devotionals) that I received during Lent & am reading through football season
Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?~ both (winged liner above in Exhibit B)
Best fragrance for fall? ~ Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (above in Exhibit A)
What is autumn weather like where you live? ~ we’re still as ☼sunny☼ as Indian summer but anticipate a cool-down soon
Most worn sweater? ~ my tribal cardigan by ♫Maroon 5 ‘s ♪Adam Levine♪
Must-have nail polish this fall? ~ Sally Hansen ‘s Miracle Gel to top off color because it seriously lasts a long time (I’m just barely removing my color after 45 days)!
Football games or jumping in leaf piles? ~ BOTH! (see No. 1 for football & Exhibit B for leaf piles)
Skinny jeans or leggings? ~ either or, as long as I don’t have a muffin top in the denim or camel toe in the tights
What is something that nobody knows about you? ~ I don’t mind digging into Ramen even if there’s other food in the panty (especially as comfort food now that we’re entering a colder climate ), which I actually ate for lunch this afternoon while watching Wong Fu ‘s major cook-off !
Combat boots or Uggs? ~ bringing on my Docs , baby!
Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?~ ¡Claro que sí!
What song really gets you into the fall spirit? ~ oddly enough, ♫Taylor Swift ‘s ♪ Wildest Dreams♪ because it could describe any desire (i.e., “tall” could be a tall order of Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha ), fulfilled or fantasized about

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!

When I lived in the 🌅Bay🌉 Area , home to Western Conference Champions, the Golden State Warriors, who beat Eastern Conference Champs, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in last night’s 🏀NBA Finals🏆 Game 1, I actually had friends who walked their 🐈cats {Happy Belated Hug-Your-Cat😻 Day yesterday, by the way}
This morning, I joined Mami Aya and Coco 🐰Bunny🐇 on their 🐾walk! #QTwithThisCutie
Since my mom’s taking care of my sis’ Yorkie, they’ve been 👣walking👟 everyday, and I made a point to join them this time around!
We went to my Bestie’s 🏡house🏠 now that we’re neighbors, so Coco made friends with the Cake🎂 and Cookie🍪 Corgies: Twinkie and Oreo!
One of my buddies also 🏁rolled🚗 by…
… And we proceeded with 🚦caution🚥 as we approached this 🐍snake !
Since I haven’t exercised much 🌳outdoors🌴 this 🍀spring🌷 due to my 😰sickness , I shoot to login more miles this 🌞summer🌼 little by little again!

TGIF! April Showers with a Chance of … Scrambled Eggs ✌
From ☼sunny☼ to stormy, I’m honestly relieved to sleep in on this rainy day because we all need downtime (something that I took for granted and recently realized is a necessity in order to thrive and survive).
Before I made myself this brunch:
Grilled Cheese Garlic French / Texas Toast : French Toast with egg wash (Almond Breeze Coconut Milk blend with cage free egg scrambled) * grilled cheese (Kraft Colby Jack marbled Big Slice) * garlic garnish (McCormick Perfect Pinch Garlic & Herb ) for Texas Toast
I also fixed my family theirs:
Chill cats waiting patiently with anticipation of good grub …
Breakfast of Champions : Meow Mix Soufflés “with REAL Chicken, Egg and Garden Vegetables”
Sharing is a skill !
Simple and Savory is the Flavor of this Friday!
Final note : good thing that we chowed down our hearty meals before the heavy hail hit! I saw our neighbor cat sprint across the front yard to safe shelter!

This DISPO still can’t seem to let CHRISTmas go .
Since Friday wraps up my weekend (before I return to work on Saturday ), I prefer to cozy up at home with A&A at the end of the day …
Aah … So much better when RTC : Ready to Consume !
With my fave HOLYday flavor !
As I watch HGTV ‘s Love It or List It Too about houses with pools, I watch this Milano swim in my Mocha ~ Peppermint -style!

Happy Meatless Friday!
My Top Tasty Treats to satisfy my sensation for sweets since ringing in 2014 are {drumroll, please}
Siviero Maria Tiramisu Gelato
What’s better than these two edibles?
Eat in moderation … Limit your portions!
How about both of them put together ?
And to top it off …
Now this is berry healthy!
Strawberries sweeten the deal.
Enjoy your weekend! Happy Early April Fools’ Day ~ start planning your pranks!!!
