I have yet to find any way to make a mani, including schmancy professional ones as well as my own half-assed efforts, last a full 24 hours without crinkling, peeling or chipping. Pedis are a lot better, but I've pretty much given up on manis as a source of anything but a really good, fragrant hand massage.

All the Zoyas look absolutely gorgeous, though.

Timelies all!

So...it's Monday. That's about it.

Bye, bye, Borders.

Bye, bye, Borders.

Damn.

Maybe a few indie bookstores could sprout up in their absence.

It occurred to me, as the tile guy left today, that there's several people still working on my house, who still have my garage code and key, and who know my husband is out of town.

I'm not actually worried, but after Zenkitty's experience, I'm a little twitchy.

I have lost my only credit card while traveling. Seriously? so annoyed with myself, and can't rent a car until I find it again. May have to have our housesitter overnight me one of my others.

Pix, can't you call your credit card company and have them cancel the old card and then overnight you the replacement?

Frustrating, Pix. I have had serious credit card while traveling issues myself, but mostly springing from the fact that I don't generally use it. But traveling is when I need it!

Dana, yeah, I felt that way during the build. But once they're done, you can recode the garage at least. And twitchy is okay; twitchy keeps you on your guard. But it'll probably be fine.

I swear by Diamont now, thanks to Plei. But for speeding up even past that, I use Zoya's hurry up drops. They're called something else now, I think, but I like them a lot. I am super hard on my nails, but that combo lets me get going in a reasonable amount of time.

Found it!!! It had fallen out inside my mom's car on the passenger side. So relieved. Plus, bonus dinner with my mom. My train is now 90 minutes away.

Bye, bye, Borders.

Alas. I loved Borders. And I have friends who will soon be out of a job, I guess.

Found it!!!

Whew!
