Weekly Wrap Up vol. 3

[ Aren't these paintings by Dennis Wojtkiewicz amazing?! ]

Hello hello! Things have been sort of busy here at Manicurity, but I don't want to jinx it by saying too much about how much better I've been about posting because that inevitably ruins things. I cannot believe we are so far into NOVEMBER already, right?! This year is truly flying by! Soon I'll be spending some time home for Thanksgiving, and then it will be December. Thanksgiving is probably my family's favorite holiday, but mine is definitely Christmas!

Nail Trend I ♥'d Lately: IDK why, but I love these! From NaomiNailsNyc

Weekly Piggie Picture(s)!

Not entirely sure what is happening in this photograph, but the guy in the back is Kumamon.

Pig Train!

Here's a photo of my babes hanging out in the kitchen while their cage gets cleaned out; cage cleaning and photograph courtesy of their piggie Dad. From back of the pig train to front: Kikko, Sabi, (Momma) Baby Bear

Fun Random Fact: Have I told you yet that the new dog that lives next to me is named Emma? Just imagine how fun it is to be doing normal things in your house and almost constantly hear a man yelling "EMMA. EMMA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP THAT! COME HERE! STOP BARKING!!" etc. Her dog friend is named Abigail.

That's all for the beginning of November! I wish you an excellent week ahead :)
