Thursday Thoughts - In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream

Purging: Nail polish. I kept what's in the box and took the rest to my mom.

Painting them you me & the sea by Essie.

Reading:  Ohio by Stephen Markley c/o netgalley. I was not into it at all at the beginning, even texted Jana about it, but am now totally into it. Show Us Your Books is Tuesday!

Anticipating: A three day weekend. Debbie and I are heading to the shore tonight and I'm off tomorrow.

Laughing like a loon at this:

Going to three different stores the night before the Fourth like a simple fool and still forgetting two things. 

Making Mexican stuffed shells to freeze, breakfast burritos to freeze, and a version of strawberry lemonade lasagna (hold the jello because I forgot that).

Treating a day off mid-week sort of like a Sunday: I did laundry, packed for the weekend, ran the dishwasher, made eggs for breakfast, lingered over coffee, read, painted my nails, picked up around the house, did some purging, etc. 

Swimming at Mom & Rich's with Debbie and my uncle on the Fourth.

Enjoying a mid-week holiday dinner at Dad & Carol's on the Fourth.

Knowing not everyone in this country actually has independence, liberty, and justice, and that I will continue to do what I can to make sure that changes in the future.

Pulling: up my sleeves.

Reminding us all:

What's new with you?
