Two California transplants, one Wheaten Terrier and their sort-of new life in London

Thursday Bits and Bobs

Some things about my day so far. And don't get too excited, they aren't that great.

1. After wearing my hair straight and/or back for the last 5+ days, I am wearing it curly today and I think the curls decided to revolt. They are all over the place, like they're trying to tell me "you can't keep us down. See what happens when we're let free? Never forget, we own you."

2. I am LOVING my new nail polish. I bought it yesterday and used it today. Yes, it is similar to another color I own, but really they are intrinsically different corals. This one is Rimmel's "Instyle Coral." I have no idea if it is related to the magazine InStyle or just uses the same name (lazy color namers perhaps?). The other one is called "Coralicious," and is much, much darker. You know, like the difference between blush and bashful. Here's a peek at Instyle Coral:
eh, not the best picture, sorry.

3. I learned more about my dog today, in particular the hierarchy of "Things Riley Loves." I gave her a chicken strip (a treat) this morning and after she plopped on the carpet to eat it her dog walker came to pick her up. Riley had the treat in her mouth, heard her walker, dropped the treat and ran to the door. Mind you, chicken strips are one of her FAVES. She never denies a chicken strip. But, Marta trumps chicken strips! So here's how Riley's mind works in terms of classifying her favorite things:

#1 Marta/walks. The primo spot, numero uno, nothing comes close to this
followed by #2 Treats
and a distant #3 Us
#4, which may be interchangeable with #3, is giving us attitude. As I type she is sitting behind me, staring at me, whining, obviously unhappy with some aspect of her life (she either needs more or better food, has to go outside, or is generally irritated.)

And that's it. It's time for a nap after all the thinking I did today.
