TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS. AND A WHOLE LOT OF GLEQUINS.

Just imagine how overjoyed I was when I woke up to 4 inches of snow on my deck. Truly, truly thrilled!

Oh, wait. It's not December. It's almost April. For just a minute there I was considering putting the Christmas tree back up. 

It is pretty warm out, though....34 degrees. Of course, that means the snow is the consistency of kindergarten paste so imagine trying to shovel that stuff instead of eating like we all did when we were 5.  Not so pleasant. It weighs so much it knocked out my satellite service.  A tv addict like me certainly can't survive without it, so I had to trudge out there with the roof rake and try to carefully wipe it off without screwing up the alignment.

I got out there and there was just a tiny bit of snow and no ice on it. Why that knocked it out is beyond me, but I pulled off what little was there and came back inside to reset the box. Success!! Go, me!!

Right now it's half raining/half snowing. I'm assuming Kev is going to have simply craptastic roads driving home tonight. He's supposed to get home around 1:30 tonight so I get to worry even more than usual. Fan-frickin-tastic.

This mani is one I've wanted to do for such a long time but just never had the ambition because it was so time consuming. It's a one-hander again....all glittered up with  no place to go. 

And oh, how it glittered!! Much more than you can see from the picture. I left it on just my left hand for a couple of days and only lost 2 glequins at the tip of my index finger. Not too shabby!  

I used a light lavender as a basecoat before putting each of the glequins on. It was some Color Club without a name. The sequins are kind of sheer purpleish but they changed colors when I'd move my hand. So fun!

I love it. Maybe someday when I have somewhere fancy-schmancy to go, I'll do this on both hands.  

I should probs go figure out something to eat for supper. I had kind of planned on going into town today to do some running and was going to pick something up, but I didn't think it was worth driving on the icy, snowy roads. So I cleaned the house instead.

Keep an eye out here a few days from now! My one year blogiversary is April 1st, and I'm planning to do my first giveaway. I'll also be doing a separate one on Instagram.

Something to look forward to, right?  :)

THIS IS SOOOO NOT ME

Golly gee, I was so happy to wake up to my ulcer acting up in full force this morning. Thanks a heap. I did manage to still get my hairs cut and then went to the local appliance store because for some odd reason, my mom wanted me to go look at the refrigerator she's thinking of buying. She's an odd duck, that one. I thought she only ever asked my opinion on living room carpeting, once when I was 10 and once about 6 years ago. Because that woman keeps everything. Forever. Seriously, her current fridge is 29 years old and the only reason she's buying a new one is because the door needs a new part in order to keep it closed.  Who keeps carpeting for 35 years and a refrigerator for 29? Craziness. I have to say I would kill for that fridge she's gonna' buy. Not that it would even fit in my house. After I saw it I called her and told her that I want it so she should just buy me a new house to fit it. 

She disagreed.

I was supposed to go to dinner with my cousin tonight who is up visiting from Savannah, but eating is not happenin'  with this stomach right now. So screwed that up. She is going to come over to visit in a little while so at least I'll get to see her.

I decided to be a little ambitious with the nails last night. I wanted to do more than the accent nail fully covered, but I kept getting interrupted and I didn't have time to do them all. This one is way out of the norm for me.

When wandering eBay one night, apparently I felt like shopping and decided that I must own glequins!! In a whole bunch of colors, no less. WTF?? 

I wish the color and sparkle of this showed better, and of course it was cloudy today so I couldn't even take a shot in the sun. The polish is Barielle Ocean Breeze. The sequins are a shimmery sheer-ish aqua blue. And yes, "sheer-ish" is a word. Google that shit. You'll see that I just made it up.

Of course I couldn't just have an accent nail; that is also so not me. It was still only 1:00 a.m. so I decided to do the stripe near the tips.  I had some fun with this and will probably play with them again at some point, but lordie it was time-consuming!

Bedtime: 2:00 a.m. Me: jackass.
