Thursday Thoughts - this is radio nowhere. Is there anybody alive out there?

1. This is one of my favorite neutrals: Lion Around by Essie.

2. I'm getting a pedicure at some point this weekend. I need one. I have a massage scheduled for Sunday too. And I got my hair done last night by the fabulous Kristi at Sensational Scissors. So that about covers it for personal upkeep.

3. Speaking of self-care...for those dug in against our current leaders and despairing anew every time someone's right or voice gets whacked away by trump's poisonous pen, you need to read this article: How to Stay Outraged Without Losing Your Mind. We're playing the long game right now and we can't afford to burn out. Recharge. Resist. In the interest of my own self care and in yours, I am not going to go through the events of week one of the trump presidency that made it a dumpster fire for dems and progressives. Instead, I had cake for breakfast yesterday.

4. Monday night our dogs walked around crying, howling, shivering, and cowering with their tails between their legs...not because they were being abused, no...because House Paws the mobile vet came. It was a very traumatic day in our household - if you don't know pugs, you don't know the histrionics that are performed over nail clippings. It is embarrassing. Anyway I love the mobile vet. Geege got his biannual checkup and everyone got cleaned up a little and I didn't have to wrestle three belligerent resisters into a vet's office. Geege apparently has crystals in his pee and just like that the dogs are back to not earning their keep.

5. They are lounging like they've earned it though...Geege in the bed that's Mae's size and Mae in my new chair like she's the queen or something. Have you ever? LOL

6. This week is the anniversary of Jonas, when we took in some water at the shore last year while we were in South Africa. We fared better this time! It looks like it stayed away from the first floor door. It's nice to know someone down there who reports in with photos.

7.  Currently reading Indiscretion recommended by Lauren. It's rare for me to remember who recommended a book, so when I do, I'm giddy. What are you reading?

8.  I had fun sharing what I'm loving lately last week. As I mentioned, I used to do that monthly but got out of the habit. I will probably get back into it since Lauren and Bre are hosting a new linkup the last Tuesday of every month. Meaning, this Tuesday coming up.

9. Reminder: Repeat after me:

10. Ecard of the week...winter mornings, am I right?

What's up with you?

Linking up with Kristin & Joey
