Today we went to lunch...

Today we went to lunch at the new Chinese restaurant in Oxford, Jasmine.  It was not good and it took forever.  I'll be sticking with my China Luck in Oxford and my House of Chen in Saks, thank you very much.  Damn it, I'm hungry!

Calhoun County schools...

Calhoun County schools are dismissing at 12:30.  Saks Middle at 12:15!  Is it going to get bad that early?

I finished watching "Family Ties" the other night.

I finished watching "Family Ties" the other night.  I put on an episode of "The Wonder Years" after my boss mentioned that her daughter was watching it.  Shadow was pretty into it, too.  He's gonna watch it with me!  Woohoo!  😃  Mother / son time!  😃

No stamping on these - just tape and polish here. 😃

No stamping on these - just tape and polish here. 😃 I wanted something bright and contrast-y, so this is what I got! I don't know how well it shows on the photo, but the bright color is like, a neon coral. LOL At a glance, though, these remind me of Tony the Tiger. 😃 You can do so much with tape - you don't even have to have any kits or anything: just imagination, tape, and scissors. I'm happy with how these turned out - just a little "oops" on the pointer finger where I smudged the black a bit. Oh well, onward! 😛

OMD...

OMD - my kid is gonna be twelve in two weeks.  That is almost 13!  😳  I have to figure out this birthday stuff now.  Better get to work!  😳

Heard from the principal finally.

Heard from the principal finally.  She just wanted to console me and tell me that she thought I handled the other mother and that it wouldn't happen again.  I wrote her back and told her that I didn't need to be soothed - I wanted a change in policy.  I don't see why not.  I guess we will see!

This is my trial experimenting with a matte topcoat.

This is my trial experimenting with a matte topcoat. Shaun uses one frequently, but I never have put one on more than just briefly. The main reason for that was because the matte topcoat I had would leave little white goobies on top of your polish when it dried. Which, as much work as I sometimes put into my nails you can forget me doing anything that might gank them up. LOL For anyone interested, the matte with the goobies is by Hard Candy at Wal-Mart. We found a new one by NYC at Wal-Mart this past weekend, which is what I'm wearing now. No issues at all! I put it on different kinds of polish to see how it would look. On my thumb it's only on half of the nail. It's also on my first and ring finger. I left the middle and pinky shiny to show the difference. I actually really like the look it gives, so I'll definitely by trying it again the future. 😃
