These are the nails I did last night.

These are the nails I did last night. The gray color is a new polish from Ulta and the glitter was a new one from Sally's. 🙂 I tend to default into stamping, but this was in my "To Do" folder, so I went for it. It was pretty easy. And it's festive, so that's cool, too. 🙂

Geez Louise, I am a hungry hippo tonight.

Geez Louise, I am a hungry hippo tonight.  When we ate at Outback I had a chicken sandwich and some veggies.  I was still hungry so I ordered more veggies.  I am STILL HUNGRY so we're heading to IHOP.

What is up with that?

Two dinners tonight, two cakes tomorrow.

Why the hell not?  😃

I am having a good day so far! 😃

I am having a good day so far!  😃

I woke up and did some cleaning so that birthday-me doesn't have to do it tomorrow.  BEST IDEA EVER.  😃

Then, me and Shaun met Emily and her guy at Ulta - for NAIL POLISH, of course.  The MOST AMAZING THING happened while we were there.  I found a bottle of Revlon's Secluded Beach - just sitting around in some random place.  For those who don't remember it was from the Limited Edition Collection that came out during the summer.  I could not find a bottle of that around here in August (even though it hadn't been out for long), so I traded Jennifer some roaches for a bottle she found in her area.  How it has lasted at Ulta this long is BEYOND ME.  It wasn't even regular Revlon price... it was $4.99.  I bet I could sell that on ebay for at least $30.  I am not even kidding.  Who knows if I will, but I know I have the option!  I was just SO STUNNED.  I looked up and was like, "WTFisthatSecludedBeach?!"  Yes.  Yes it was.  😳

Anyway, after that we all got together and had some dinner at Outback.  It was good to catch up with my girl.  🙂  The only way it could have possibly been better would be if Laurel could have come.  Silly girl, with all of her working and living hours away.  😕

So, tomorrow morning we're gonna pick up my cakes and if I love you (and you are near me) I will share.  I'm not having a party or anything, but I do plan to visit my family and stuff like that.

Well.  It is time to go and play with my new goodies.  I got more polish than I planned to because I got to use TWO COUPONS at Ulta today.  SCORE!  😃

So... Dad brought me my Kia.

So... Dad brought me my Kia.  He said that my brake line had collapsed.  That sounds scary!  He fixed it, so hopefully it's ok now.

I gave him the key to the Hyundai.  He's gonna check it out again.  LOL  Poor dad.  ❤

So... if you haven't heard:

So... if you haven't heard: Our event at Sarah Cavender Metalworks raised $2000 for S.A.V.E.  We can chop off a lot of balls with that kind of money!  WOOHOO!  😃

The S.A.V.E / Sarah Cavender Metalworks event went great.

The S.A.V.E / Sarah Cavender Metalworks event went great.  We were busy for most of the day - even before the event officially started.  I'll see how much money we raised tomorrow.  I don't have an exact figure, but I think we did great.  😃  Thanks to everyone who came out!

So I am just sitting here resting up and plotting my next paint job.  I got some nail mail today - woohoo!  They are coloring-changing, scented polishes.  I swatched them on some nail tabs and I was pleasantly surprised that the smell was not overpowering.  Or bad.  😃  I have one that is SUCH a pretty color, but the smell gives me a headache and topcoat doesn't tame it so I never wear it.  That's a bummer!

Since my birthday is this weekend and I have coupons for both Ulta and Sally I plan to do some polish shopping.  Nothing crazy, but I like to look even if I don't buy a bunch of stuff.

I also plan to eat my two cakes.  And hopefully go bike riding. Pain-free bike riding, even.

Shaun ordered a new seat for my bike and it is supposed to arrive tomorrow.  I also bought some bike shorts.  I don't know how common this is, but my bike seat was KILLING my cooter.  I really like riding, but I haven't been able to do it for more than a few minutes without being in a world of hurt.  My new seat has a cut-out all the way down... for your lady-junk.  The shorts are gel shorts, so that should help.  And I am also seriously considering buying some "chamois cream" - whatever the hell that is.  All I know is that it is supposed to make your down-there not hurty when you bike ride.  Maybe I'll give the shorts and seat a chance.  I just hate to risk it.  😳

If any of you ladies have experience with this let me know what has worked for you.  With my precarious car situation I would really like to be able to bike to work if I needed to.  Shaun can usually drive me, but I hate to be so dependent on someone.  😕

Well, I am in bed about to go to sleep.

Well, I am in bed about to go to sleep. Gotta be all rested up for tomorrow! Ready to raise some spay and neuter money! 😃

I hope a bunch of my friends show up. We'll be open from 10 - 7, so that's pretty much all day. No excuses! 😛 See you tomorrow! 😃
