I'm working on my nail polish database today.

I'm working on my nail polish database today. I have a goal to get everything added by the end of July so I can be done researching info on polishes and being exposed to more I want to buy...

Anyway, no one is allowed to touch my polish. You want your nails done, I'll do it. But they're not toys and everyone knows not to touch them. Most are in pristine condition, and the ones that have boxes are still boxed. No touchy.

Except for Bear. Bear knows very little, I believe. 😂 So I was in the floor organizing a few polishes earlier and he comes over with his big feet and steps in my drawer and starts rummaging around.
Why am I like "What are you doing with your cheese lips? (I gave him a licky mat with cheese spread on it to distract him. It didn't last long.) Ooh, yes, you have excellent taste! (As he picks one up and drops it back in the drawer.) I like that one, too. (As he takes one away to probably chew on it. [We didn't let him.])"

I love this dog so dang much. He just melts me. I'm definitely the soft parent when it comes to him. When I had my pack I was the only adult in the house so I had to be the tough parent, but there is something about Bear. 😂 I let him walk off with my nail polish, so you know he's got me wrapped around his paw. He's just so sweet. He wants to help with everything I'm doing and it's so hard to not let him feel involved. Thank goodness for Shaun. He gently keeps Bear out of trouble when I have my too-soft moments.

Spent some time with the upstairs cats today.

Spent some time with the upstairs cats today. APPARENTLY, Balthazar is using the litter box again. Not consistently, but he's doing it by his own choice and without any pressure/direction from me.

Weird. I'm SO NOT complaining, but in all of the years I've shared my life with cats I've never had this happen before.

Maybe somehow his infected fangs were messing with his stomach?

I love it when any of my plants bloom, but I'm stupid excited have orange flowers. This one is sneaky. I didn't even see buds before these popped up!


Shaun just got a phone call and...

Shaun just got a phone call and Cub put his conversation lips on. 😂 You know he's about to tell you something when he makes this mouth, and he did. 😂😂😂 He was like "Why are you shushing me? We're talking, are we not?" 😂

So I just found out...

So I just found out that Shaun has never heard of a "lie bump." Y'all know it's just a swollen taste bud (or something like that), right? But they were always called "lie bumps" when I was growing up.

So anyway, I hate those things. I clip them off with a cuticle nipper. Shaun is AGHAST at that information. 😂😂😂 But the resulting little sore after you clip it is so much easier to deal with.
What (if anything) do y'all do about them?
