- I adore my new mani from Lorena! She used a different technique (dip) on the flowers to make them pop out on my nails. Fun!
- I LOVE stickers. I subscribe to a monthly sticker club from Pipsticks and have a sticker binder to organize them all (thanks, snis!). I primarily use them on mail. My snis told me her kids always know when the mail they get is from me because of all the stickers. Awww. I love that! When I was visiting her in January a piece of mail I had sent came late, and I got to see what they do with the stickers – peel them off and put them on things, including themselves!
- Confession – I had not heard of Dresden, Germany until our travel agent suggested it to us (I chose where we are going based on proximity to where my friends live), so when I tell people where we are going I usually don’t mention the city name and just say Germany. BUT! This week I was talking to a coworker and told her and it turns out she did a two week study abroad program there in grad school! And a good friend of ours has been there and to Leipzig (another city we are going to) and raved about them both. So… not everyone is as uncultured as me.
- Have I mentioned where we are going? Amsterdam, Dresden, Leipzig, Brussels, and Bruges.
- I’m so freaking pumped for our trip. I can’t wait to meet all our friends and see all the sites and eat all the food (I’ve found some great places to make reservations!). Pretty sure that is a repeat comment from last week… but it’s still true
- No matter what new toys we buy the cats, their favorite toy, for a few years, has been Christmas mouse. I don’t know what it is about this mouse, but it’s the one we find in our bedroom each morning, and the one they carry around the house and do that “I have a toy in my mouth!” cry at us with.
- The great thing about my new dye color is how much it hides my grays. Ha. Bonus! My colorist had mentioned this but it didn’t click until I realized I couldn’t see my grays as easily in the mirror (or wait, is that just my eyes going? ha ha ha).
- I’ve been struggling big time Monday mornings and usually arrive to class in a bad mood and this week I blasted music in the car instead of listening to an audiobook and that helped!

This is my favorite mani too!! SOOO cute. You know I love me some 3D/Puff!
When I read “uncultured” I immediately assumed you were writing uncultured swine, a la Toy Story.
Thank you snis!
Ha!!!! I forgot about that!
I’m so excited for your trip! I can’t believe all that planning is about to be put into motion, woohoo!
Eloise’s favorite toy is this little Christmas present that she always kicks under the closet where my air conditioner is so I rarely open that door to retrieve it. Whenever I do, she goes crazy!
Thank you! Me too! I am so so glad you introduced me to Amber! She made planning so easy and took away a lot of anxiety. I am excited to book with her again in the future!
Okay, this must be a trend – I talked to another cat mom on Friday and her cat’s fave toy is ALSO a Christmas toy! Ha!!!! So funny Is Eloise’s toy current under the closet?
