Lunchtime is the Prime Time

I rarely take a full hour for my lunch break. I finish my food in 15-20 minutes and I never leave my desk. Sometimes I feel I want to relax a bit.

Can you think of any better way to spend a lunch break? Embroidering a birthday gift for my cousin (Happy B-day to my favorite big-little cousin Rae-Rae!!) and watching Firefly. O yes my food was good too but I was enjoying crafting too much. 

How do you relax during your lunch break?

Getting into the Spirit of Things

I have tried and tried but I am not getting into the spirit of the season! Halloween is easy. There are movies, candies, pumpkins and so much. Christmas is just as easy! You have decorations, Christmas shopping, music, Santa, movies and the chill in the air. 

But right now I am stuck. How am I suppose to get into the Thanksgiving spirit? 

I tried with decorations - no luck

I tried with talking about what I am thankful for - no luck

I tried with pumpkin spice eggnog - no luck (but I am ready for Christmas)

I tried planning Thanksgiving Dinner - no luck

It does not help that our weather will not make up its mind. In the morning it will be in the 40s then around lunch time it is in the 70s! What kind of fall weather is that? I went shopping this weekend and people were running around in SHORTS! I do love the warm weather but not when I am trying to get into the spirit of the season.


What do you do to get you into the Holiday season?

They put Pumpkin Spice in what????

Now I am a BIG fan of pumpkin spice. If I drank coffee like I use to I would have a Pumpkin Spice Latte everyday. But I don't so I am always looking for new drinks that can contain my tasty, tasty pumpkin spice. While grocery shopping with The Mister yesterday we found the magical potion we had been searching for!

This stuff is awesome! it is thinner than most eggnog and it tastes like you are eating pumpkin pie while drinking eggnog. We also found sugar cookie eggnog but we felt that having 3 different types of eggnog in our fridge would be a bit too much, because you know we had to get classic eggnog too.  

Have you tried any new seasonal treats this year?

Fashion File Friday: Gray Days

Books n cocoa by jesslsteele featuring nixon watches

I think the fact that I am always cold, makes me want to dress warm and drink cocoa. I love wearing tights and skirts but I have been so cold lately I want to wear boots and sweaters all the time. And who does not want to be cozy when studying? I know I sure as heck do!!

Texas Renaissance Festival and Proposals

The Mister ans I attempt to make it out to The Texas Renaissance Festival every year and this year we had a BLAST!!! I wish my phone was not dead the majority of the time so I would have more pictures. I made sure to save some battery life for a proposal.

We met Dim n Wit The Fairy Brothers. Ya the Mister Enjoyed that.


And we were able to see this guy! He is out there every year and each time we see him we are in a trance. I am so sad he did not do better on AGT, but at least we still get to see him.

We took some pictures at the outdoor chapel to set the stage for a proposal.


They started dating at Ren. Fest 2 years ago and so he felt he needed to propose there too. I think they may even get married there next year and I cannot wait! They are the cutest couple, and are the sweetest people ever.


I tried the Jacob's Ladder, I fell twice before I was able to ring the bell. Sadly The Mister did not get a picture of me falling. Or of the delicious turkey leg that we shared. 

Do you have a Renaissance Festival near you? Do you go if you do?

Happy Halloween All!!!! Above we have Patty Mayonnaise and Doug Funny as Quail Man. 

The Mister and I went to a bowling costume tournament and lost so bad, but we were not the worst. The best and worst both got trophies. 

But we did try our hardest!


Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Hope y'all have a fun, safe night
