So one of the girls I work with stopped by to talk to me and took one look at my hands and said, "Oh wow...I don't think I've ever seen your nails like that."
Like what? Not manicured? Yeah, I suppose you have not, heifer. Thanks for noticing.
Did I mention that the Rottenator and I are saving up to buy a second car so we've cut out the "extras"?
And extras mean nails and haircuts and perfume and food other than Hamburger Helper and Beans and Rice...
But it's for a good cause. And I'm on board...kinda...though I do miss my nails.
I don't miss the process, however. I always enjoyed the look of my nails after a manicure, but I never enjoy the sitting and making conversation with complete strangers. Just do my nails, okay? No time for chit chat, not necessary.
Different from a pedicure. I do love a spa pedicure, I have to say. I'm all about massages and pedicures and that sort of pampering.
But nails and haircuts; those I see almost as doctor's appointments: necessary, but not exactly enjoyable.
I do miss my perfume, though. I've recently discovered Jo Malone, who is a "perfumer" I guess, I don't know the technical term for it, from London, and every scent she has is deliciously yummy! I ordered a samplers pack of her fragrances from Ebay before the lockdown on the cash, and fell in love.
She makes me feel girly. I'm not the girliest of girls but I do like to feel pretty on occasion. I find it's more and more difficult the deeper into my 40s I get.
It's weird: a part of me, especially when I was really heavy, wanted to be someone that just disappeared into the crowd and was barely noticed, but that's an odd feeling, too. Because now I am just a middle-aged generic woman who is easily forgotten, never gets a second look, and is just kind of...there.
First world problems, right? That being said, I do miss the days of being able to dye my hair purple, wear Doc Martens and Hello Kitty, and have my tongue pierced.
Those were the days...but I wasn't any happier then. It's funny how the older we get, the more we romanticize our past instead of remembering how it really was.
All being said, life is okay right now. And if skipping a few nail appointments and hair cuts means that I can see Harry Potter and we can get another car, I'll make the sacrifice.

Tell that heifer that you know someone who keeps her nails short and the next time she or someone she loves is dying she will appreciate short nails. Seriously. What a cow.
