Happy Almost Halloween! Yeeeee-haw!

Go Horns!

Hell Yeah! The Horns kicked some ass today.

You know you are a good fan when:

1. You get up at 8 a.m. to watch the UT game at HOOTERS with the local UT Alumni chapter

2. You start drinking beer at 9 a.m. in honor of the game

3. You consume greasy HOOTERS food at 9 a.m. (again, in honor of the game of course)

Yes, my friends. I may not be in Texas but I'll be darned if I am going to let the Horns take this season by storm without following their story. I yearned to be in Dallas so badly today. C'mon the game, the fair, the food, the FUN. You can't beat that!

Fall Hath Cometh

Pooh Bear had it right when he exclaimed, "Oh my, what a blustery day!"

The trees are shaking off their leaves by the bushell and everywhere I look I am experiencing my first legitimate fall. It's amazing to think that leaves can look any color other than dead. Don't get me wrong, I have a bizzarre affinity that only you all can understand for the dry wilted look that the Texas heat provides. (As a side note I think wet pine needles smell faintly of cotton candy. Can't be bad.)

I've been wearing my coat for a week straight now. Really? That's what I get of the warm weather? For Pete's sake I am using the heater already and I breathe clouds of white air when I walk outside in the morning. Ah, Washington. On the up side, I actually went pumpkin picking in a Pumpkin Patch and walked through a corn field maze. Wonderful!

Another Visit - More Love!!!

Oh yes, we had fun!

My fabulous, fun, fantastic friend, Jette, had a little visit up to Seattle this past month and she saw fit to spend several blissful days hanging out with Mike and me. I couldn't ask for more. In honor of old times (sorry Alex) we rented and watched the Sex in the City movie, drinking too much coffee, too much wine and eating just enough cupcakes to qualify us both as overly indulgent and yet delightfully happy. That is what it is about my friends. The little, simple things in life. Here is a little snappy of us in front of the fountain near the Space Needle in City Center. Jette is back in Austin helping to lead the city to greater fashion heights, among other things. Check out the Austin American-Statesman for all her fashion debuts.

Stephanie and Eddie come for Halloween weekend!!! I'm in heaven :)
