Start Your Engines....
- I'm about to brave the streets and look for a Halloween costume
- I'm not excited about this.
- I wish I was a kid again so my Mom could concoct my costume.

Why Not Wednesday
- I burned my mouth while sipping my daily Earl Grey in the morning...I hate that feeling. You're so excited for that first taste of morning goodness, then OUCH...no good.
- My throat is still feeling weird. It's like my body is warning me to get sleep or else...
- Last night, in an attempt to wind down, I watched "I'm Not There" a film that kind of chronicles the life of Bob Dylan through six different actors, it was pretty interesting. Random Sidenote: Cate Blanchett plays a young Dylan...she did an amazing job! I ended up feeling very "wound-down" but I think that may have to do with the Merlot...Hey, whatever works!
- To The Girl Walking and Texting Today: WATCH WHERE YOU ARE WALKING...I swear, this girl was completely oblivious to the fact that she was about to walk STRAIGHT into me, and I, being the stubborn individual that I am (sometimes), stayed on my path. I was walking normally, I deserved my piece of sidewalk, reckless texter girl DID NOT. So, I let her experience the embarrassment of tripping over her ugly furry boots once she realized she almost had a head on collision with someone (me) carrying hot tea (disaster in the making...she probably would've tried to sue me for burning her...ugh people these days).
- Tomorrow is the day. The day I have to finalize my Halloween costume. I'm not happy about it. I'd much rather go shopping for something other than what will undoubtedly wind up being a "slutty" version of some Disney princess. I love Disney, but as I've said in previous posts....I appreciate more creativity. Last minute suggestions are very much welcome!

Just Because...
A Menagerie of Things...
- 80 gig Ipod, because my Nano is FULL, and although I use it for running/workouts (I made my old 32 gig die because you're not supposed to work out with it frequently due to "moving parts"), and in the car, I've decided to cave in and go for the big enchilada. A practical gift, since my music library is ginormously large.
- This Burberry jacket. I can wear it forever, and it's the perfect weight for Houston weather.
- This Laptop. I need something light and portable, this is practical, tiny, and useful!
- Bracelets. It's kind of my trademark, I've always worn lots of bangles/bracelets at once, I've acquired the nickname "windchimes" from jingling so much sometimes! Bracelets like this, this, this , this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this work!
- This watch. I need a big man watch, I have a classic Tag, but I want something fresh.
- These speakers for my pod. My current speakers are dying a slow death...so sad, because they're so amazing.

I Have to Vent
I am so.so.so. excited
- chocolate chip pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins
- wassail (if you don't know what it is, find out. immediately.)
- SCARVES...I own more than I know what to do with and I can't WAIT to buy more!
- Coats. I live in Houston. I own approximately 8-12 WINTER coats...my excuse? I lived in Nashville for 4 years so I needed the warmth...
- Snuggling (well this is good in any season, but especially in the Fall)
- Bonfires
- Really good mood music ( I will soon be releasing some more playlists for your enjoyment)
- Homemade cranberry sauce (I might be nice and share my recipe, it's TO DIE for)
- Walking the puppy in the park and not worrying about her dying of heat-stroke
- That "fall" feeling in the air, you know what it is, and it's AMAZING

Are you a morning or night person? Both.
Which do you prefer, sweet or salty foods? Depends. What category do chocolate covered pretzels fall under?
Ninjas or pirates? This is a toughie. Ninjas because they're nimble and stealthy, Pirates because they're PIRATES..I mean come on!

What's your favorite color? Turquoise/varying shades of blue/aqua.
What's your favorite animal? To interact with: Dogs. To look at: dangerous ones like cheetahs.
Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? No, only because if I allow myself to, I'll be terrified and will lose sleep.
Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. This alone scares me plenty.
Have any bad habits? Over-shopping.
Which bad habits, if any, drive you crazy? Over-shopping and still having "nothing to wear"
Any tattoos or piercings? Ears. No tats.

Name 1 thing not many people know about you: I can't watch scary movies unless I know someone strong and intimidating is going to share a bed with me for the 2 weeks following.
If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to? NO idea. At bars, I frequently use "Daisie" (with an i-e of course and a thick country accent) "Candy", "Marion", and when the mood strikes..."Misty"...but that's to make people go away.
