Feels like I'm Falling for Fall!

Today it's overcast and cool I can feel it deep inside that Fall has finally arrived!  With Fall comes a change in wardrobe and here is my Fall Wishlist...

Mid-length Skirts by Anthropologie
Pumps by Anthropologie

I also love some cute stuff Eshakti has been putting out!

This skirt is so cute with the little bow!  Don't forget to use coupon code TRICIA0811 type it in at checkout and get 20 bucks off!

And this little number with a jewel toned cardi and grey tights.... Fall!  

To make this the longest post ever I was tagged by Elle so here goes...

1.  Favorite color?
I will say pink I really love pink, but it changes all the time!

2.  Favorite animal?
Dog without question.

3.  Favorite number?
Number 3 or 21 I have no idea why.

4.  Favorite alcoholic/non-alcoholic drink?
Just what the Dr ordered DR PEPPER but it needs to be fountain and I also need a Polar pipe because those things are AWESOME!

5.  Facebook or Twitter?
FB I don't tweet, seems like way too much work!

6.  Your Passions?
Ummm weird question but I would say reading, traveling, DisneyLand, Pinterest, Shopping, Running and of course my Family most of all!

7.  Your Wishlist for this month?
Look above, also to get my basement organized them I am 100% done with moving in!

8.  Favorite pattern?
Chevron stripe right now!

9.  Favorite day of the week?
Saturday but I also love Friday night I have no idea why maybe it stems back to high school when we had the football games.

10.  Favorite flowers?
White roses without question.  When I got married all I had was white flowers as in NO GREENS, some of the greens were spray painted silver but mainly it was tons and tons of white flowers everywhere!  Sounds expensive?  It was, and it's a good thing I have connections in the floral business!

3.  Molly

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!

I am not ashamed to say this is my FAVORITE holiday hands down!! I love Christmas, the season for giving and the excitement I feel again with my own children!  I also love that this is a holiday centered around the birth of our Savior!  I decorated my house for the holiday's last Saturday and then the tree on Tuesday and then ordered this and this.  I am enjoying the smell of fresh pine that is wafting through the house!!  Here is a small holiday tour of Mi Casa...

 For the past 15 years I have collected Nativities!  Every time we go on a trip I buy one!  I have only a small fraction of them on my shelf (for lack of space)!

I picked up this Matryoshka doll Nativity in Russia 2 years ago!

This is my hand carved olive wood Nativity (well three pieces of the 20 piece collection) I got in 2000 in Jerusalem!  I have them from Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico and a few other places I can't remember (because they are in boxes until I have room to display them all!!)

 Here is my tree!  

I was tagged by Spiffy so here is my take on the tag:

Seven interesting things about me:
* I am really a brunette (I have SO much grey hair I have to dye it, so I chose red!)
* I am OCD about locking my doors and safety!  I have a high tech alarm system on my house and am pretty sure every noise I hear at night is someone breaking in and trying to kill me!!! 
* I call my husband like 10 times a day (and my sister about 4 times a day!) I have a talking problem just ask anyone in my family!
* I secretly love watching the show Keeping up with the Kardashians (I know, I know!)
* I have a fondness for all things made in camouflage! 
* I give EVERYONE I know a nickname, It's a sign of affection!  My kids are:  Munkins, Mister Bear, and Vee-Gee Time.  I have no idea why, but I really love giving those I love nicknames!
* I LOVE me some Neil Diamond!  I think that even though he is Jewish that man makes a mighty fine Christmas album!

Seven most regrettable things I have eaten:
* 2 half pints of Ben and Jerry's Mint Oreo (in one sitting)
* a freezer burnt lean cuisine
*  McRib
* A box of half eaten cold chicken nuggets
* a Big Hunk candy bar
* Escargot
* A whole bag of candy corns (just try it and you will understand!)

Seven products I use everyday:
* Bobbi Brown concealer
* Chapstick
* Toothbrush, paste and floss!
* Soap
* Mascara
* Foundation (I get that dreaded pregnancy mask during pregnancy, and it has never gone away!)
* Deodorant (I am a man sweater and once I forgot to put it on... so I immediately hit up the nearest Walgreen's and remedied that situation!)

Seven things I really want for Christmas:
*MacBook Pro (17 inch)
* Laptop carrying case
* new iPhone
* Anthro gift card
* New ironing board (I only use when I sew!)
* New perfume
* A new TV!!!!

The seven people I tag: Jessica, Peggy, Molly, Kathleen, Ashley, Jenni, and Leah.
