"Aw, you're wearing a different scarf! Babe, I'm so proud of you!"

- things 11 tells me

especially after I fixate

on a new scarf for too long

[via]

It may heat up again today - but this morning was a perfectly fall morning.

Crisp.

Clear.

Sweater.

Scarf.

&

Sunglasses.

I dig you, Fall.

Come in and stay a while.

So...guess who was planning to start 10-on-10 this month? And guess who forgot to charge her phone the night before? Ugggh :P

So instead of a proper 10-on-10, you get some hi-lights / random moments of the week :)

[Breaking fast with this lovely lady :]

[I read a book on Monday... a whole book on Monday. One of the most delightful  parts was an ongoing debate on the "breakfastization" of eggs - particularly scrambled.  Why is it that you can put bacon on a sandwich and it gets treated with equality; but put scrambled eggs on there - it's a breakfast sandwich?  Above is a sound counter point.
Jury's still out for this reader.]

[One of the absolute hi-lights of my week :D ]

[Oscar Noms!!!!]

[Kept warm this particularly chilly week by a gorgeous scarf hand-made by best friend :]

[I have this wonderful gift gracing my cubicle]

[Friday was "Cleaning Day" at work.  Bob cleaned out his top drawer.  When I came in and saw this, he goes, "Just say it - I'm weird!" haha... well, Bob...]

["Crawley Sister" conversations re: said hi-light of the week]

[Barry Manilow on Ice - first live figure skating experience ever...and I loooved it!  My favorite skaters were this husband/wife team from Russia - incredible!! Barry was  pretty great too.  A very fun time.]

[Thanks to Christine and my Mom for a fabulous Friday evening!]

Tonight I was getting something out from my under bed storage when I came across the autumnal half of my scarf collection and a bunch of pull-over sweaters.

They make me smile.

Just a little bit longer, buddies. =)

Random Things...

I put my earrings on every morning as I walk to the bus.

I have the same thing for breakfast every day—toast with peanut butter and a glass of Apple Juice.

Something about children’s fantasy really draws me in—I think it’s the acceptance of wonder.

I have nearly 1800 songs in my iTunes library—nearly 400 of which are from soundtracks or musicals

I was almost born 2 months premature.

My favorite time of year is June—peonies, roses, and long, beautiful days.

If I had a car, I would take fairly frequent trips to Spokane because I find that city so relaxing.

I don’t know why, but I really have been wanting to re-watch Peter Jackson’s King Kong.

I want my long hair back.

My favorite drink at Starbucks is tall, four pump, no-water, soy chai.

I think “hopeless romantic” is a compliment.

I have 13 scarves—and I need more :)

I like cheesy, sappy movies.

My favorite place (that I’ve been to) in the whole wide world is Ponte Vecchio in Firenze.

I’ve been to over half of the United States.

I’ve shopped in a Harrot’s during my 4 hour stay at Heathrow Airport

I like conventions—I really don’t care if this plot has been made into a romantic comedy 3 times this year, I want to see this one.

My favorite flowers are coral peonies.

I am avoiding a paper :)
