A Face Only A Mama Can Love

This is Gismo.  9 lb, 2 year old little man.  Left outside his entire life.  Flea bites and skin infection so he lost all his body fur.  Coming Friday to ME!!  He's so ugly, he's cute.  I met him at the adoption event - happiest little bug.  He went to a foster temporarily until another home opened up.  They didn't want him boarded.  Chez MOI has an opening.

We're going to change his name.  Gismo is cute, but we (my sister and I) think a nerdy name fits him. On the short list ... Theo, George and Ernie.  Looking for suggestions 💬  Of course, I love him already.  The second a foster is "mine," the foster is mine.

Remember how I reward myself to keep to healthy habits?  Well, I need a reward in a big way.  Found it watching The Kitchen on Food Network.  Pjs with my dog's head all over.  OMG.  Shut up.  I'm so excited.  It takes 4-6 weeks (probably longer since I image their customer base just went through the roof).  I LOVE new pjs for Christmas.  Best reward for healthy habits because I want to look good in said PJs.  I hope the size is okay.  I like them BIG.  The sizing was S, M/L, XL.  Nuts.  I planned on L, but M/L is not the same so I jumped to XL. Stay tuned ... pictures WILL follow!

Now that I'm feeling improved, I'm back to my focus on HAPPY, focus on PRODUCTIVE, focus on FORWARD.  Slug week is finished.

Today, I take Gigi to her new home.  A mama who works from home, a boyfriend dad, a fellow toothless old man fur-brother and bam ... a little family is complete.  She will be pampered like crazy.  Have I mentioned, her mama cooks the dog food fresh everyday?  She has a cycle of food she uses so her dog is nutritionally balanced.  I need that lady in MY life!!  Love my little Gigi.

I started a new book yesterday - good so far.  Manhattan Beach -- Jennifer Eagan.  I had to go look up the title.  That's a downside to kindle reading -- I never know the name of the book.  I really like her writing style.  Today Show recommendation.

I haven't put much time into Gretchen Rubin's new book.  The mood is not hitting me yet.  It will -- I like her stuff.  I usually read that kind of book before bed and since I'm feeling blah, I haven't been night reading.

Today's workout is a mash-up.  A home-gym circuit.  Should be fun - and hard!  Some weights, some cardio, some agility, some balance ... and repeat.

After I drop Gigi off, I might do a little retail therapy (I'll be near a really cute shopping town).  I have the Garth Brooks concert Thursday and it's going to be hot and humid.  I need to change up what to wear.  Bummer.  I'm searching for a new top.  If I don't have luck today, I'm heading to the "big" mall on Wednesday.  I want to look country cute and that is going to take some work.  The country stuff Stitch Fix sent was good, but all too warm (i.e. I'll pit out and it will show).  It is miserably muggy outside this morning -- ugh.  Where oh where is fall?!?!  I never dreamt it would still be this hot mid-October.

That is all from this Monday morning.  Let's make it a good week.  My INTENTION is GET BUSY.  Later gators.
