I'm actually looking forward to Thanksgiving this year.<br />Toddles seems appropriate. I'm a dog person, but thought if I had a cat, I'd name him Toonces (the driving cat) from my SNL heyday:)Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-9878374870095860502016-11-19T08:17:50.610-05:002016-11-19T08:17:50.610-05:00I am usually woefully out of her restock loop too ...I am usually woefully out of her restock loop too but I finally saw she was open and I headed on over and picked up a scrub in a scent I adore... pink peppermint! I get a kick out of minty bathing products. Love that tingle. <br /><br />Yes! I picked her up at the SPCA 10 years ago (before kids). Her name was Roxy at the SPCA but my husband did not want a cat so he said we can buy her if you name her a boy's name. So we came up with Tod. But the girls started calling her Toddles and it stuck. She is a total sweetheart. Loves to be pet and loved on. A real cuddle bug. I agree. She gives me much comfort. I am sorry to hear you are having family stress too. It really blows. I pray we both can have a peaceful holiday season. And I will do my best to have a gracious open heart. <br /><br />Have a beautiful weekend, Jay!TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-79658422308006968912016-11-19T08:13:21.865-05:002016-11-19T08:13:21.865-05:00Me too.

I think I have listened to too many sappy songs or heard too many stories where we never know if today is our last day so I want to have peace and love with everyone I can. <br /><br />Thank you! I am so stoked about my recent splurges. CFTKR arrived yesterday and I cannot stop staring at the pastel colors. I think I will try to clean the house then photograph it today. I have lots of things to catch up on. Glad to hear you like your Candy Panda scrub! Mine arrived too and I am excited to dip my fingers into it. Scrubby is just what I want! <3 <br /><br />I hope you have a good weekend Gina!

Love Pourgirls! I have some of their fall scents I'll be melting next week.<br />Didn't know you had a kitty! What's your furry friend's name? I love that you posted your pet when you needed comfort or release from a nagging worry. No one's better than a pet for such moments. I've dealt with more family drama in the past year than I have in my previous 38 combined. If I'm only half as stressed as last year's holidays I'll be truly thankful. Being open and positive to change is the best way to go.Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-72240955652431371892016-11-15T21:41:22.396-05:002016-11-15T21:41:22.396-05:00I'm sorry you are having some family drama!

I love that you mention that we cannot change anyone but ourselves, I will have to remember this in my own life. I'm like you in that if someone is mad at me it will bug me to no end, I like to tie loose ends. <br /><br />What a beautiful kitty! I can't wait to see your recent orders. I've recently tried Candy Panda scrubs and love them! They're so scrubby! <br />Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642393603890349197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-34828070037504542722016-11-15T19:47:21.872-05:002016-11-15T19:47:21.872-05:00I can only imagine.

I will strive to be full of peace and give love to all. Thank you for taking the time to chat and get to know me. I have enjoyed reading your blog and becoming your friend. <br /><br />Back to the scheduled programming of kitty bellies and wax tart sniffing. <3TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-25962165052353075522016-11-15T19:44:35.886-05:002016-11-15T19:44:35.886-05:00So far the Pour Girls is nice.

I am glad you will have a sweet and cozy Thanksgiving this year. I will try my best to as well. My kids, hubby, parents and sisters will be there and that will be nice. <br /><br />Thank you! Maybe but the other party has ignored the olive branch and either blocked me on FB or left FB right after that. Ah well.

I was actually just reading that for a lot of Americans, this Thanksgiving, hot on the heels of a most contentious election, is proving to be really difficult, because it seems like right now, people just want to fight. It feels that way in my world, too, and I'm Canadian, for beaver's sake. ;) But your Thanksgiving will be lovely, especially if you remember what you already know - you just CAN'T change how people feel. They'll come around on their own. <br /><br />In the meantime, kitten belly and a retail overload is not a bad way to spend your time.

Family...Pour Girls? Never even heard of that one!<br /><br />Family drama used to bother me to no end. We had one Thanksgiving several years ago that I still hold a grudge about. A family member opened a conversation that involved me, steered it into the touchy area it became, and then conveniently backed out and acted all innocent the rest of the time. I miss the old days of family gatherings but not the more recent ones where everyone had their own interests and seemed inconvenienced to be there.<br /><br />Hope your holiday gathering is peaceful! And who knows, maybe the other party doesn't even realize it's as big of a problem as it might seem to be?<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
