And hey! I remembered to give her her Nubar Wildlife polish this time.
It was my birthday* present!
*June 17...
I am cleaning my house today because mom arrives tonight. But when I finish? MANICURE! I am going to have the prettiest nails in a few hours.
I've been listening to a new podcast for me, The Bugle. I'm finding it funny. I was led there via TDS since John Oliver is on it.

Work note, they do use naughty words at times.
There is a ton of Dale Sr merch and a fair amount won't even make your eyes bleed. If you have a price range, I can tailor the suggestions. There's a Daytona 500 commemorative die-cast that's nice.

No, I will have the prettiest nails after my next manicure, because *I* have extra-special custom-mixed sparkly Glambert Tears nail polish.
ION, my mom just texted me. This is not quite the sign-of-the-end-times that Pete texting me would be, but it's kind of close. Except that Mom texted me about nail polish.
Now, now, Jilli. We're both very pretty.

Is she one of us now?
Is she one of us now?
She's been one of us for longer than I have, actually. Because she enthusiastically wears colors on her fingernails, while I still view that whole notion with some suspicion.
(When I was over for dinner last night, Mom started showing me the new polishes she'd picked up, and I was able to identify the brand and color names before I looked closely at the bottles. I blame Plei.)
I now know the names of nail polishes other than W&W black. I totes blame you.
I don't view nail polish with suspicion, but I find that a good manicure, like well-groomed eyebrows and bouffant hairdos, requires a degree of commitment that I lack.
I R A SLOB
Well-groomed eyebrows are relatively easy. Or I just don't pay enough attention to realise when they're not well-groomed anymore. But a manicure stops living up to my demands by day three, min, and that drives me nuts. Even if I didn't pay someone to do it, it seems like a waste.
Whereas well-groomed eyebrows feel like they last for a while. Bouffant hairdos are understandably outside of my current scope.
Thanks again for the lift yesterday, Burrell! It was good to see you (and pics of the kids) even if I was stoned to the gills.
