It rained hard for about an hour last night drizzled all night long-and the temperature was 46 this morning.

It stopped dripping for a couple of hours early this morning, and I used that lull to deliver an invoice and collect. The primitive, personalized service my compadre and I provide almost always produces payment on time, and our customers say they like it...

It is 56 now, drizzling again, and more rain is on the way, but we do need that rain...

I ordered a jar of that nail buffing cream my neighbor told me about, since I was ordering my hair color and stuff anyway-I just used it with my chamois buffer, and my nails have a better shine than I got with the powder stuff-as shiny as a coat of clear polish-the cream smells nice, too...

Say it, don't spray it. ;)
How 'bout that Aggie baseball team so far?

Rinne made a number of Pekkaresque stops in Saturday night's shoutout win over Buffalo,
helping the Sabres in their march towards obtaining one of the Dynamic Draft Duo this year…

That monkey in the mineral spa remind me of the plumber I work with-same hair color and style, and spends every moment of lunch break holding his smartphone in front of his face just like that macaq is, texting...

We were slumping when we should have been holding steady. I hope they keep it together. Pekka is a great guy and it’s good to see him playing steadily now.

I just ordered 2 of the creams and 2 buffers. One set for me and one for my youngest’s Easter basket! She is not the polish type so this should be ideal. Thanks for the good idea.

I have one, but lost enough weight that it will have to be resized, so I am still looking.

That is great-but I’m sorry it cost you a nice dress...

You’re welcome-I think you will be very pleased-since wearing polish, fake nails, etc would be impractical at work for me, too I like the healthy look buffing with powder or cream gives medium length nails-I keep mine 1/4 inch long-today I’ve touched up gray roots, washed my hair, cleaned the bathroom with bleach, and my nails still have as much shine as they did yesterday...

Are you going to keep your hair trimmed long?

I’ve kept it the same for 11 years or so-just the top shorter, and the rest about to my waist-I like it that way, it is easy to put up for work, and I can wear it down if I go someplace.
