Thursday Thoughts

Linking up with Jennifer today for Thursday Thoughts! 

~I'm almost finished with the book I'm currently reading, Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult. I'm hoping to get one of the two books I've requested from the book swap group I'm in on Facebook. If I don't get either one today, I'm planning on reading The Girl in the Green Sweater next.

~This afternoon I have to take this guy to the vet to have his anal glands expressed. Some people do this themselves at home, but I'm not one of those people. If you know what this process involves, you can probably understand why I make the vet do it. It's not a pretty sight.

~I need to be certified in CPR and First Aid for my new job. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find a class! The earliest class I found is on October 4th, and it's only CPR. I have to add a First Aid extension class and take it after the CPR class. Too bad they won't accept an online class certification...that would makes things a lot easier.

~I live in a small town with lots of other small towns around us. One of those towns is having a festival on Saturday, and my sister and I are going. Possibly Emily too if she doesn't have to work. I love small town festivals! The main reason I want to go is because their public library is having a book sale. $5 for a bag full of paperbacks? Don't mind if I do!

~There's another festival next weekend that includes a 5K. I really want to do a 5K but not by myself. Mallory and Emily both have to work. Boo! Maybe I'll conquer two of my fears at once...actually completing a 5K and doing it on my own! Today is the last day for early registration and to be guaranteed a t-shirt. I mean, c'mon, it's all about the t-shirt you get right? ;-)
