This might not seem like a big deal to most of you, but when you are the size of a condominium and have the flexibility of a fence post...little victories are celebrated when you are able to paint your nails without an extension ladder.
I feel very very silly with the mulit-colored and stickered thing I've got going on, but confess that the bigger feeling is that of...rebellion. All my life I've tried to be buttoned-up...quiet...appropriate....and a rule-follower. No make-up to school until it was allowed, etc etc etc. Now, with all this crazy nail polish, I feel like I've just bought a motorcycle and am running around terrorizing the neighborhood with punk rock music and a devil may care attitude.
(I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Do you suppose that I will leave this on and wear it with impunity, or will I slink off to the bottle of polish remover and regain my senses?)
Hmmmm. I think it's time for me to re-examine just how low my threashold for change has become.
I did absolutely nothing but stitch, watch Olympics, and cuddle Stewey all day yesterday. I'm building the outlines first, because I know it will make the overall stitching of the piece that much easier, and because it is what the directions told me to do:
So I guess I am still a bit of a rule follower...crazy painted nails and all.
Off to make some breakfast burritos for a late brunch, and then back to the Happy Chair and Olympics! Happy Sunday!
I think they look great. You need to have some fun once in awhile. Enjoy your stitching Olympic day.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely leave the nail polish as is.......looks great!
ReplyDeleteGo for it Coni!
ReplyDeleteI love those colours! you rock that, Coni.
ReplyDeleteLovely framework building, Coni! I like the polish colors, so I vote leave and go to the dentist. What is the lovely piece hanging on the wall with your new project and Longaberger basket?
ReplyDeleteHi, Robin! That's The Riddle by The Drawn Thread.
DeleteConi, when you reach a "certain" age, you are entitled to be who you want to be. Buy the motorcycle and terrorize the neighborhood......KEEP the polish!! The heck what anyone thinks. YOU like it...keep it!
ReplyDeleteLove the polish. You are giving me thought to paint my nails!

ReplyDeleteMy friend has each toenail painted a different colour and when she had an appointment with her surgeon re some 'down below' treatment, he though it was hilarious - don't be shy.
ReplyDeleteI love your nails! And great start on your new project!
ReplyDeleteLove your nails. I feel the same sometimes. Always being the rule follower...I will feel like being a rule breaker and I paint my nails bright colors. Sometimes I just paint one nail just to see how many people will ask me about it. :-) Show those toes off at the dentist! Wear cute sandals or flip flops, even wear an ankle bracelet. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI am sure the dentist will be delighted to see a patient taking care of her extremities! Just don't paint your teeth to match...
