Monday was the hottest day on record in the DFW area. It has been unbearable the last few weeks, so much so that I have only been going outside to a) get in my car, b) walk into my office, c) go to the pool or d) go somewhere that has AC.
Today, what the weathermen are calling a cold front, blew through. And it feels amazing! Going from 106 degrees (with a heat index of what feels like 150 degrees) to 90 degrees is a huge difference. It’s about 86 degrees right now and I just took Jersey (my cat, for those of you that don’t know) outside on my patio.
Is fall in the air in Dallas? Probably not just yet, but this “cold front” at least gives me something to look forward to. I am looking forward to pumpkin-flavored things too, especially lattes.
My good friend Lenora sent this to me today with the note, “LOL! Seriously though.”
Sort of scary when I actually think about it…
Don’t miss out on what s happening now because you are waiting for something better to come along. You can’t live for the future, just like you can’t line in the past.

My home renovations have slowly but surely been coming along. My next big projects are my bathrooms. Not complete renovations, although that would be nice, but changing out the pedestal sinks and maybe a new tub for the master bathroom.
I bought this vanity/sink for my guest bathroom today. I saw it a few weeks ago and thought it was nice, but when I walked into the store today with my dad and saw that it was on clearance, I had to buy it. I love good a clearance item!
PS - That rug you see to the right of the vanity is from when I was a baby. It is a picture of three men in the tub, from the rub-a-dub-dub nursery rhyme. My mom kept it all these years and gave it back to me when I bought my own house. Now, it resides in my guest bathroom.
I bought my first Groupon today. I have been tempted quite a few times to buy random things like massages, haircuts and food, but never felt tempted enough to spend the money.
However, I can never pass up a discount on clothes. I hate spending full price for clothes and shoes, so when I saw the $25 for $50 worth of clothes, including sale items, from Gap, I couldn’t pass it up.
I am pretty intrigued by their new line of black pants, which apparently don’t wrinkle or attract lint. With all of my travel, those could come in handy. I could also use some new jeans. Maybe a new white button down, because white button downs always end up looking dingy. And their blazers are pretty cute.
Well, that $25 (and more!) was spent before I even got the Groupon!
SportsDayDFW has a “Best of Miles Austin” slideshow. Why didn’t I find this earlier?!
I snapped this picture from my office window after a sun shower blew through Uptown Dallas this afternoon. It was in and out in about 5 minutes and then left this pretty rainbow right behind CityPlace.
