Only For Sitting Pretty

Almost a delinquent.  Not sure why I waited so long to decide to like it.  It’s been 26 days, and I just have just given up on it.  Miss Piggy.  No curl.  I got to wear my favorite one.  Perhaps I should purchase another.  Hello wind funnel.  Completely excluding flats.  Have a nice trip, see you next fall.  Glad I just missed the crocodiles.  Master storyteller.  Back in the groove.  Maybe a slight mental vacation?  One short of a quintet.  Excellent powers of persuasion.  Lack of response.  Slow on the uptake by one month.  Missed the menu.  Customer service meeting.  New friend, new fan.  Pretty and with a bow, please.  It needs more options.  13 weeks and I had no idea.  An apple is just a catalyst to more hunger.  Irresponsibility and apathy force me to answer every time.  Not in the office.  Definitely scrapping the shoes.  Only for sitting pretty.  Exposure.  Uniform on.  Tickle-Me-Elmo.  Not only on-time, but early.  It’s so roomy now.  I believe it to have been tampered with.  Kick him out and get it over with.  Must strengthen quads.  Just realized what it meant after all these years.  This is true.  Awkward overlap.  Her poker face is lacking.  Too many bubbles with the lid left on.  You can keep waiting, but it’s not gonna get any better.  Auto tuner.  Poppin’ the Advil.  Commando.  Not courteous in the least.  Forgot to finish the playlist.  So familiar.  Constitutional.  Jumped the gun.  Bit the bagel.  It’s a gift.

September 19 – September 25

1. This is definitely the highlight of my week!  Garth and Trisha are such wonderful people!

2. A newly discovered pet peeve of mine is the sound that occurs when people do not pick up their feet while walking on the treadmill.  The constant drag, drag, dragging of their feet is exceptionally bothersome.

3. Good idea:  Setting two alarms to make sure you wake up for work.  Bad idea:  sleeping completely through both.

4. Direct communication, as opposed to indirect, is my preferred method of communication.

5. Woody Allen said “Eighty percent of success is showing up.”  I’m not sure I agree with Mr. Allen – especially when it comes to exams.

6. Letters to Juliet was a very good one-time see!

7. Bad idea:  Slicing your finger open with a chef’s knife.  Even worse idea:  Slicing your finger open up underneath the nail with a chef’s knife at the beginning of your 5 hour lab/shift in the restaurant.

8. It is always wise to make sure of an individual’s food aversions before surprising them with a food they really don’t like by sending it to them in the mail.

9. I absolutely LOVE the Philbrook museum!  It’s such a beautiful place!

…and that’s my week 9 Points Past Sunday

Just the Way You Are

I absolutely LOVE this song (and the video)!

When I Think of Autumn

What do you think of when you think of Autumn?  In no particular order, here are some things that come to my mind:

Warmth.  Rich color.  Tree climbing.  Pioneer days.  Eskimo Joe’s sweatshirts.  Tailgating.  Riding the bus.  Playing at the park.  Apple cobbler.  Pumpkin pie.  Fire pit.  Clogs.  Dance lessons.  Stairs.  Cider.  Harvest.  Crimson.  Gold.  Crunchy leaves.  Renewal.  Pumpkin patch.  Breezes.  Going down a slide.  Beautifully painted sunsets.  Butternut squash.  Gourds.  Chair and blanket forts.  Movie saga marathons.  Flag football.  Playing catch.  Blue Like Jazz.  Wasps.  Bonfire.  Passenger seat.  Senior pictures.  Hoodies.  Pumpkin bread.  Zucchini bread.  Bug collection.  Hardwood floors.  Music boxes.  Hand quilting.  Twilight (that moment in the day, NOT the book).  Cardigans.  Denim.  Sperry Top-Siders.  Piles of leaves.  Caramel apples.  Baskets.  CATS.  Porch swing.  Pocket watch.  Kittens.  Milk Duds.  Owls.  Udder balm.  Cinnamon.  Festival in the Park.  Mums.  Pep rallies.  Thriller.

Meet Tillie Jane

Meet Tillie Jane!

This beautiful creature is Tillie Jane.  She is a Crown Tail Betta, and her observed birthday is September 16, 2010 (as this is when I adopted her).   She is very smart, and she’s super feisty!  Her hobbies include blowing bubbles and being a little piggy-pig when it comes meal time!  She’s really great, and I hope you’ve enjoyed meeting her!

Here she is in her beautiful new home!
