Thursday Thoughts

1. I don't really have any because I've hit the vacation wall. Early. I still have two weeks to go. The pre-vacation malaise has come too soon. Everything seems to be a struggle, like additional effort is required while zero fucks are given. My motivation needs its picture on a milk carton.

2. Basically, this is all I want to do. If you're looking for some books to read, you need to check out the 35 bloggers who linked up with me & Jana for Show Us Your Books on Tuesday. That shit is on fire! My favorite blogging day of the month by far.

3. Other signs vacation is imminent: I'm about to cut a bitch every day during my commute. Yesterday, a group of us were running from the shuttle bus to the train in the morning. My favorite conductor was on and everyone knows he will not leave a group of 20 people. This lady behind me is going "Come on, move around her! That's it! She has a cane you can go faster" in a little sing-songy voice. I stopped dead and gave her a scathing look like I was setting her on fire with my eyes. She looked like she saw an ogre. And she did. We will respect the lady with the cane and we will STFU about it

4. I've been in a panic over how I'd make iced coffee on vacation since I'm not taking all of my bulk supplies.  Anyway I'm going to give this a go. The coffee is already in pods so there's no complicated straining system.

5. My summer slump is beginning. I feel less energized, more sluggish and lazier in the summer than I do at any other time of year. It's like reverse seasonal affective disorder. I get pissed off at myself when I'm blah. Later in the summer, I will be the Summer Grinch. Relax, enjoy. Stay tuned.

6. Remember how I was really excited to pay off my car in mid-May? MFD has already sold it to buy a better and larger second vehicle for his business. You were a good car, Kelly Taylor. I have re-named the car I drive now: she shall be known as Brenda Walsh.

MFD's new ride

7. My dogs kill me on weekday mornings. They're a riot. When I get out of bed, they sort of shift around and slump wherever they can. Like Mae here on the left, giving up on life and slumping onto Geege. Like they have worked so hard or done so much or something.

8. So I ordered pink chambray Tretorns from Nordstrom for myself. Hello, 1987. It's been a long time. I can't wait until you arrive.

9. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy this at some point.

10. Ecard of the week. This had me dying laughing:

End scene.
