August
has flown by and my September will be even busier!
Boston Nails - I
knew I had time so I searched out a hair/nail salon at the airport. The woman, a nice Italian lady in her late
30’s with a very strong Boston accent, said she had time to fill my nails. Do you ever have those moments when you know
something is going to be a disaster but you decided to plow ahead, hoping for
the best? That’s what happened in this
case.
Instead
of using a file drill, she grabbed the nail file old school and, after removing
my polish, she began lighting filing the tops of my nails. She then laid out her brush and the fill
material. Initially layering on the filler, she realized she had the wrong kind
so she wiped my nail and grabbed the correct bottle. Uh oh.
She
dipped the brush haphazardly into the solution then the dry filler powder
before placing it on top of my nails.
She tried to be neat and tidy but she was not blessed with the ability
to create a natural looking fake nail.
The filler on my nails began to resemble lumpy piles of mashed potatoes
– ridges, bumps, and waves. She then
attacked the filler with a buffing file which did nothing to smooth my now
pathetic digits. Even slapping on polish
and top coat did nothing to improve the site of my nails.
I
sadly paid for my fill. The poor nail
lady was just so pleased with her efforts that I couldn’t ask for a
refund. However, my first appointment
when I returned home was to get the entire mess stripped off and a new set put
into place.

Jordan and Candy - Fit
in a nice Chinese dinner with Jordan and his now fiancé, which was an enjoyable
time catching up with each other and learning more about his girlfriend.
Flu Bug - Hit the ground running back at work then screech….wound up with the flu bug, which I always attribute to any return flights from the East Coast. The Wednesday evening following my return my stomach just wasn’t feeling right. In fact, it felt very wrong, up to the point I began barfing every hour upon the hour through the evening. Ugh. Been a long time since I’ve had the flu. Ended up staying home Thursday to recover, returned to work Friday, which was a mistake, and left early to continue my recuperation.
Steve – Happy birthday
today, 9/1, to my Steve. He has been
busting his butt this summer at the farm but we were finally able to connect
last weekend to catch up. We have
tentative plans to go salmon fishing on Buoy 10 this Thursday but I’m waiting
to hear confirmation.

Wisconsin –
I’m off to Wisconsin for work in a week and will return home on 9/11 (of all the
crappy dates.) Steve will pick me up from
the airport and we will head straight to Cannon Beach to spend the weekend with
some of his out-of-town relatives.
North Dakota –
Steve’s family invited me go along with them the end of this month for a
cousin’s wedding in North Dakota. Have
never been there so for the experience I immediately said yes.
Sam – New landscaping
job for Sam and he has been rocking it.
Happy he is out there doing something and earning some money!

New Hair Do –
This past weekend I decided to go for the gusto and get a short do. A couple of weeks ago I got lots of layers in
it and was trying for a shag look. Nope,
that wasn’t going to work so decided to get an asymmetrical pixie type
cut. Yep, that short. Had it done Sunday and decided this morning
the longer side was a bit too heavy so wacked some of that off in my bathroom
this morning. Ahhh…much better!!!
