Oh bed your warm embrace

What up, Internets?

30% off kids' clothing at the start of spring is kind of a big deal in Retail Job, so we were super busy today until the sudden lull where we weren't.

Neither of these is my favorite working condition, but hey, no problem, I survived, and tomorrow and Saturday I get to play with my imaginary friends again. Oh, revising, I love you so much more than first drafting; let's get married.

Hey so also I have been doing the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge. That's when I do 31 manicures in 31 days, according to this schedule of "inspirations". (Except "Tribal Print" because gross. That's going to be "Ombre", because I wanna try that, and not gross.)

My additional, personal rules, are "first attempt stands; no second tries", and "any polish you don't use in this challenge has to go, jeez, Karen, you really want that two dollar gluggy pink that still needs four coats to stop streaking?"

With that in mind, the first five days.

RED:




ORANGE

(I baked some apple-maple-spice muffins right after this picture. Totally destroyed the manicure. Worth it.)



YELLOW:



GREEN:



BLUE:



Tomorrow is "Violet". I have a new polish to play with. It's gonna be fun!

But not quite as much fun as sharpening up Cheerbaby Goes To State. Mmmmm, revision.

(no subject)

Today I was lying in slothful slumber when my father opened the door, turned the light on, and tossed two packages on my bed.

"Gnhhh," I insisted, and then after a minute, "Lights~!"

Dad opened the door again. "What?"

"Turn lights out!" I insisted.

He complied. Thus, sleep continued.

I was fairly certain what the packages contained. I had ordered China Glaze Smoke and Ashes and a dotting tools set from CandyGirl.co.nz, my online nail polish retailer of choice, and for whatever reason, they had sent my purchases in two packages, not one.

An hour or so later, I revived sufficiently to inspect my purchases. I picked a packet, sliced it open, and stared at the three polishes that fell out.

"Dude!" I exclaimed. "Dude! Dude! What?! Dude!"

Reading the order receipt proved enlightening.

Internets, remember how a couple of days ago I mused about things I wanted to buy, and mentioned specifically China Glaze's Rainstorm, Peri-Wink-Le and Re-Fresh Mint?

A kind benefactor BOUGHT AND SENT THEM TO ME.

Like, what? Holy crap! DUDE.

I used Peri-Wink-Le and Re-Fresh Mint on today's manicure. (VIOLET nails). View, and be awed.
