Hey, north Texans, have you ever turned the air conditioning on in February?
I don&#8217;t remember ever doing so but today&#8211;Feb. 1, 2012&#8211;I did just that in my car because it was downright toasty when I got into it mid-afternoon. Sauna-like even. No need to think about a coat.
Let&#8217;s rewind to last year. According to the National [...]]]></description>

Same song, fourth verse.
As I&#8217;m perusing the store aisles, I&#8217;m automatically drawn to the Valentine section. Yes, it&#8217;s mid-January, but we&#8217;ve gotten through Christmas and New Year&#8217;s. It&#8217;s time to decorate and think of the next holiday.
But what does appear to my wandering eye? Cadbury chocolate eggs! Yes, Easter candy so grandly displayed next to [...]]]></description>

Miss Texas, Kendall Morris, is competing there for the Miss American title, and earlier this week she won a preliminary award in the swimsuit competition. That, plus the fact that Texas is one of the &#8220;pageant states&#8221; where competition is keen just to [...]]]></description>

So after two weeks of  cooking, cleaning up, cooking, cleaning up, cooking, cleaning up&#8230;I&#8217;m d-o-n-e.
The holidays are fun. Love seeing my family. Love relaxing. Love the decorations. Love the music. I even love all that food. That food that I&#8217;ve cooked and cleaned up over and over.

What about Christmas commercials?
When I lived in Oklahoma City, the impending holidays would be signaled by B.C. Clark&#8217;s &#8220;anniversary sale&#8221; commercial with a snappy little jingle everyone in Oklahoma City knew as well as &#8220;Jingle Bells.&#8221; A sled goes sliding [...]]]></description>

I even hate that I hate it. After all, football is just a game, hardly life and death.
But if my University of Oklahoma Sooners have to lose to Baylor University for the first time ever, I&#8217;m glad some good came from it.

I&#8217;m so happy that fall weather is here. Happy that it&#8217;s football season. Happy the leaves are turning. But you know what else this all means?
It&#8217;s eating season.
Yes, today and tonight it&#8217;s candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner followed by popcorn balls and a spiced-cider chaser. And now it&#8217;s just a hop, [...]]]></description>
