and getting no where fast. i swear the munchkins stay up late making new fur to drop all over the house. it is multiplying. i am afraid if i leave for long, i'm going to come home to 547 new cats. long haired, bred to shed cats.
on another note, let's talk about nails. finger nails to be exact. i used to have, back in the day, really strong, long nails. they're not even in vogue any more which is a good thing because my nails have become brittle and crumbly as i've . . . cough . . . aged. they break if i look at them wrong. for our cruise, i decided to get gel polish. they give a little strength and i asked the nail tech to make them extra heavy to last two full weeks. she obliged. but, my thumb nail is cracked from the top, vertically halfway down the nail bed so she did that one in acrylic. wonder of wonders, it lasted perfectly except for the new growth and the polish was perfect. hum, she said to herself, what if i did all ten nails in acrylic???? the lady next to me shook her head. don't do it she said. i couldn't even pick up a dime, she moaned. did i listen?? not i. so now, almost three weeks later, i have these perfect nails, albeit a strange color that the tech insisted was the newest thing, with very little regrowth so they still don't have to be retouched yet.
can i pick up a dime. hell no. at least not without using two hands and kind of scooting it up one finger until i can get a nail under it. do they look fake? you betcha. she dragged out these super long claws and glued them to the fingers of the mangled nails on my right hand. think elvira. they need to be pruned back considerably and she chopped off a bunch in the shop. can i wash dishes without harm? YES!!!! the only really bad downside is the thumb on my right hand doesn't want tohitthespacebar on the typewriter and the wordsallcome out jumbled together if i don't watch what i am doing. do i care? not wit. it's fun to have perfect nails. i'll worry when they turn black and fall off come october 31st.
life is good. and fun.

When I was working, I had 10 perfect acrylic nails. I can no longer justify the upkeep, so instead, I do a once a month pedi as I am prone to ingrown toes!
True story. My nail tech's name? Elvira! And yes, I cannot say it without singing the Oak Ridge Boys song! My heart's on fire. For Elvira! Giddee up! Ba umm bah bah maw maw!
Funny that the Mistress of the Dark Elvira is not who I think of!
