Nail peeling was a big reason I stopped painting mine. I felt like I was doing too much damage.
But even unpainted, they look like wrecks. I'm trying to maintain good calcium in my diet, but it doesn't seem to be enough.
My sister was seduced by a Southern accent (at least once) while we were in NO. Sunday breakfast took
forever
because of her infatuation with our server's drawl. Not only did she keep calling him over for every little excuse, she drew out everything he said into a conversation about his dinner last night or other details. My god, I hope I don't see myself in her. But I totally do. We're terrible cougars.
On my (thankfully direct) flight back to LA (no more United, please), I had another seatmate making physical contact. Except this time, no trauma. In fact, I didn't process it until halfway through the flight that we'd been sitting pressed up against each other the whole time so far. Difference being this was a really nice guy who gave up the last apple juice for me and held my bags while I sat down and didn't stick his elbow in my stomach.
Still, it was kinda weird and I did pull away when I realised it, in case I was the one being odd.
When I was a lifestyle editor, I once received a wedding account that said, "The groom's cake was in the form of a truck, a symbol of the groom's profession."
My nails shred and split and my cuticles are always ragged. I use clippers because I am inept with files, plus they seem to add to the shredding. I gave up any ambitions beyond "enough fingernail to be functional" long ago.
When we moved I did a major polish culling. Figuring that I tend to pay for manicures more than paint my own. Well, nail services out here are more expensive so I have been limiting my paid manicures and have started a new collection of polish.
I even came home from vacation with 3 new bottles to add. I only bought one (an almost black but it is really green color from OPI). The others came from Lee (THANKS again!).
I wish I knew the name of the current polish - I didn't pay attention enough when I had them done. I'm pretty sure it is OPI. It is a dark but shiney blue.
Have people heard this?
Fox's Hume slammed for telling Tiger to convert
On Sunday, Fox News' Brit Hume decided to tell Woods how he can get things back on track:
Tiger Woods will recover as a golfer. Whether he can recover as a person, I think, is a very open question. And it's a tragic situation .... But the Tiger Woods that emerges once the news value dies out of this scandal, the extent to which he can recover, seems to me to depend on his faith.
He's said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, "Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."
The reaction to Hume's comments has been largely negative.
Not only did she keep calling him over for every little excuse, she drew out everything he said into a conversation about his dinner last night or other details.
at least she wasn't asking for spices to season the food :) (which I found hilarious)
I am a sad addict to the nail crack - acrylics. I don't have fake nails, I just put acrylic on top on my regular nail. yes, I know that it's horrible for my nails, but they look so pretty! and they don't chip, and they don't break. When I had my own nails, my index, thumb and middle nails were always breaking/chipping, while the others grew fine. Now, they stay the same length and look good for three weeks.
One of our clients is doing a Sondheim project so we've got Sweeney Todd playing in the background all afternoon. (Stage version w/ Angela Lansbury) AWESOMECAKES.
Hey! My theatre is doing Sweeney in February. I wonder if it's us :)
I think it's either a museum or a documentary - they've ordered practically every BBC broadcast of every Sondheim show ever done.
I wish I knew the name of the current polish - I didn't pay attention enough when I had them done. I'm pretty sure it is OPI. It is a dark but shiney blue.
Is it Russian Navy? I love that color. I wear it on my toes a lot. DC is a conservative town, I can't get away with blue on my fingernails.
