"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.

Back on the diet again.

After eating my way through Tybee Island and Savannah, and basically eating whatever I wanted for the last month and half or so, I decided to get back on WW. I started on Sunday. So far so good. I have been eating a ton of fruit and veggies. I might have to make a run to the grocery store in a day or two to pick up some more.

I also haven’t been to the gym since…mid-August maybe. I am so lazy. I have always hated working out. I don’t know why I joined a gym. Paying for it is not making me go. And I don’t really have the motivation to go.

I am hoping that starting WW again will help me kickstart my motivation to start working out again. We’ll see.

Some of my favorite pictures from Tybee Island and Savannah.
