Also, I'm considering getting fake nails (wraps or tips or whatever the cool kids do these days) for professional reasons. I think my bitten down stubs really can't be helping they way I'm percieved. Thoughts pro/con?

When I get mani I always get them cut short and painted something neutral. That seems low-maintenance and professional-looking to me.

I have never had an official, pay-for-it, manicure in my life.

Prince Harry has been secretly serving in Afghanistan for the past few months

This is one of those "secret from whom?" stories that always makes me laugh. Harry is sitting there reading the article going, "Dude! They told me it was Bolivia. Uncool!"

Although, apparently, it's the Drudge Report that gets an uncool on that one.

Ya know, really. My love for All Things Royal aside, I'm really illogically pissed off at Drudge for releasing that. He is not Ours, as in American. And he's off flighting a bloody war, too. They had no right to publish what they had, regardless of where they got the information in the first place. It's irresponsible and it makes me really not like Drudge. He may be a Prince, but he's still someone's kid and if he gets picked off now because he's easier to find and the secret's out, I hope Drudge burns.

I'm also cranky today.

I have never had an official, pay-for-it, manicure in my life.

Nutty is me. Though I've had three pedicures. (Once when I was pregnant and could justify making someone else cut my toenails, twice since.)

I've had 2-3 manicures in my life - one of them was for prom, lo those many years ago. I am a fan of the pedicure though.

I have had 1 manicure and no pedicures. I didn't like the manicure. But I do love red toenails.

The ick for me is definitely the money part. There's a difference between having Mommy (or Favorite Auntie) paint your nails for fun, and spending $150 on a 6-year old's nails. I mean, seriously. I don't spend that much on my nails.

I looooooove mani/pedis. Special bonus if the mani & the pedi are at the same time, on those massaging recliners. Yum.

I'm really illogically pissed off at Drudge for releasing that. He is not Ours, as in American. And he's off flighting a bloody war, too.

seriously? and he's just a kid.... like all the others - but painting a huge target on him and yelling 'he's over heee-eere!' was not news. it was something else. Paparazzo-hit probably overstates it. Also? he put an entire group of people under the target. I think it was both irresponsible and about as inhumane as people trying to kill each other at all.

I've had one concurrent mani-pedi and it was horrible sitting there with four people massaging my extremeties while trying to make eye contact with me but talking to each other in a language I couldn't understand.

Nevermore.

I hate painting my own nails (such a damned mess) but I've grown to hate wearing sandals and having them naked. Especially to work.
