On Saturday I decided to use the gift certificate that Bruce and Sarah gave me to say thanks for taking Bruce's parents in during the fires. This gesture was, of course, totally unnecessary, but I've got to tell you I really enjoyed cashing it in. They gave me a $40 gift certificate to my nail salon. So I went in there and asked for the works. Not only did I get my usual pedicure, but I also had them do a manicure. Now I work on the computer most of the day so I can't do the whole long nail acrylics, so I just had them clean up my cuticles and put clear polish on. But my toes are something different; this is where my creative self can be expressed.
It's hard to tell in this photo but there are small rhinstones placed at the center of the flowers and she did this neat technique where she made the actual nail polish color appear as if it is part of the flower. She only used white paint, but when you see them in "real life" the flowers look like they go from dark to light pink to white. Unfortunately I don't have the best camera and the effect is lost in this picture. It was truly a lovely morning. They massaged my hands, which I really needed considering how much typing I've been doing lately. I promise that this will be the last pictures of my rather unattractive toes.I've really accomplished a lot of work and I have to give a shout out to my little sister Lynnie, because I simply could not have put together this awesome curriculum without her enthusiastic and supportive guidance. You're tops Lynnie, thanks tons. I guess if you're falling apart some day psychologically, I can return the favor, but I'm not holding my breathe.
