My little frog buddy croaked last night!

My little frog buddy croaked last night!  It was SOOOO cute!  I wasn't even sure it was him, but it totally was!  He sang me a lullaby!  And I was ribbited!  😃😃😃

I know - I'm funny.  That's what happens when a Blu is up too early.  😉

Here is a 2nd go at interlocking dots.

Here is a 2nd go at interlocking dots. At least I did more than one finger this time, and the colors aren't so similar that you can't tell what's going on. LOL I think they turned out ok. The pink is a new polish I got from China Glaze called Rose Among Thorns. The color looked neat in the bottle, but even better than that - without topcoat (which I have to wear after so many layers, usually), but on it's own, it's got this really neat satin finish. Not quite matte, but not shiny. I ❤ that. I'll have to make sure to wear it by itself one day. I guess that wouldn't kill me, now would it? It's been forever since I've done that, I just realized. Wow.


Was just talking to someone on here and...

Was just talking to someone on here and she asked how old Shadow is.  He's going to be 13 on his next birthday.  THIRTEEN.  Whoa.  Just whoa.  Why does that seem so different from 12?  Is it the "teen" on the end?  It must be.  😳

Oh. my. gosh.

Oh. my. gosh. That ring finger was so. much. trouble. @_@ I would like to do things like this more often, but not on myself. LOL The sheer frustration I put myself through to get one good nail is crazy sometimes, which is one reason why I'm so <3fond<3 of accent nails. I'd pull what little hair I have out if I tried to do all 10 and have them turn out nice. You don't even know. I'm sure it would be much easier to do on someone else.

I'm also sure that the fact that I tried to do my nails in Shaun's man-cave did not help. He keeps the lighting low at his house, and these weren't exactly colors that pop, so I didn't have the easiest time seeing what I was doing. All in all, this shouldn't have been that hard. Put down one color, tape it off, put down another, then dot away! I feel like I will try this again, but with brighter colors. And in brighter light. And when I'm not so tired. LOL I have a bad habit of doing nails right before bed. It kind of relaxes me.

Anyhoo... check it out, Jilanee. More dots! 🙂

I brought home a little froggie from PetSmart.

I brought home a little froggie from PetSmart.  I just looked in the tank and could NOT find him.  He's hiding under the moss ball.  TEEEEE.  😃  How fucking CUTE!!!

Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning

FYI:  it really doesn't.  When Shadow was about 2 he jumped into the deep end of the pool at our apartment even though I told him to wait a minute for me.  I had my shirt over my head and only heard the splash.  Looked around and didn't see him... and then I did.  He was under the water, not making a sound or waving his arms.  I hit the concrete hard and drug him out of the water by his hair (I can't swim - but the asshats who were with me could, but just stood there watching).  He was fine, but I had nightmares for weeks that I'd lost him to the pool.  Scariest thing that child has ever done to me.  So far.
