This feels very appropriate today.

Jersey was very unhappy when I put this too-small Halloween costume (that I got from work for free and planned to give to my parents for their dog, Nugget) on her. She basically just flopped over and refused to move.

"The fact is that “y’all” is pretty useful, as formal English doesn’t have a distinctly plural version of “you.” There is no “yous” (except in places like New York city and New Jersey, sometimes in the form of “youse guys”). This suggests that the referent is usually clear enough in context. But the existence of “y’all,” the related “you-all” and “all-y’all,” and other workarounds like “you guys” and “you lot” show that there is, in fact, room in the market for new second-person plural pronouns. Visitors to Texas typically realize the value of “y’all” within 48 hours."

What I ate/sampled at the Texas State Fair last Thursday.

• Fletcher’s Corny Dog
• Fried Pickles
• Fried Cake Balls
• Fried Salsa with Queso
• Fried Peanut Butter, Jelly & Banana (PBJ&B)

This is how Jersey and I are spending our Sunday.

Belated Caturday. Buster was actually sleeping like this. Crazy cat.

uncomfortably accurate. (via reallykatie)

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

It’s finally starting to feel like fall…

Even though fall in Texas means it is still 85 degrees. I am just glad it’s not 100 degrees anymore.

Windows open, chili in the slow cooker, Dallas Cowboys on TV, lots of apples in my kitchen and fall/Halloween decorations around the house. I love this time of year.
