Girly Curly BE GONE!
Well, not exactly, but….
The acrylic nails are gone. I went and had them removed the other day. While I will grant that they made my hands look much nicer, I was getting really tired of the hassle (and other things with which they often interfered, but we don’t need to go there). Therefore, I made the plunge and had them soaked and dremeled away. Now my nails look horrible - all ridgy and paper-thin. But, they’ll grow. Then they will just look marginally horrible like they did before the acrylics. But at least I’ll be able to play the guitar again if I want. 
My other recent obsession - my curly hair - has given way to the old style of managing it again. Not completely, mind you, but I’ve gone back to shampoo and conditioner and spray leave-in and diffuser and hairspray with the occasional gel thrown into the mix. This rather than conditioner and gel and diffuser. Hair looks just as good (if not better), is not as frizzy, and has loads more body which stays throughout the day. So, can I sacrifice a TAD of curl definition for these results? Why, yes…. yes, I can. So, I did.
I’m still doing make-up full-force like I was, but that’s just because it really does look so much better, AND I figure if I paid this much money for it, I’m going to by-god use it! Funny thing is, I’ve bought two Clinique make-up removers (expensive heifers, those), and I don’t like them nearly as much as the Equate make-up remover towelettes I bought just before my Clinique splurge. They don’t work as well and don’t feel as good on my face. Plus, they’re more involved and complicated. Can you guess what I’ve been using most? Heh. I suppose you live and learn. And pay for it along the way.
Spring is here now, and the wisteria is in bloom again! WEE! I SOOOOO <3 wisteria. I’m going to drive out to this little old abandoned barn I know of tomorrow and see if it’s grown along the walls yet, so I can take a picture. I missed out when I was going to do it last year! Don’t want to this year. And since I don’t have anything else pressing tomorrow, that’s what I shall go do. If nothing comes of it, it will be a nice little diversion of a small road-trip.
Now that I’ve blathered on sufficiently to make up for my lack of blogging recently, I shall STOP! Y’all have a good day, mm-kay?

BAH!
Today SUCKS! Jake’s at home. I’m at work. I’m sleeping better at night (apparently), so I don’t want to get out of bed in the mornings. One of our machines has been down, so we’re behind, and the shit-storm hasn’t hit yet, but I know it’s coming. I’m bored. I want a cigarette (again). I forgot to wear my patch today. My hair is doing some kind of weird Elvis-Curl whoop-dee-doo thing in the front today. And I’m insatiably hungry.
I’m going home for lunch, and I know I shouldn’t because then I *really * won’t want to come back to work.

Grits & Vanilla Chai
Okay - sounds gross, right? Well, it’s not what you think.
First of all - for those who read my “I forgot to put on deodorant today” blog yesterday, it’s not true! I realize now that it’s the actual deodorant I’m using that made me think that. Put it this way, it STINKS! I’ve been using Secret Platinum clear gel for awhile now, and the last time I purchased some, I decided to try the Vanilla Chai flavor. BIG mistake! I will be going to purchase new deodorant TODAY!
This morning, I was craving grits, so in an email to my brother, I jokingly said, “Go get me some grits and bring them to me!” A little while later, his secretary showed up here… with grits! LMAO! That was awesome.

The Everything Test
Saw this on dsh’s blog. Pretty neat.
The Everything Test
There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.
Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We’re turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we’ve got some innovative results too! Enjoy

More Girly Shit
I’d been thinking over the past few days about having my acrylic nails removed. It’s costing me around $35-40 per month to keep them looking good (and painted different colors because I can’t seem to stand the same color for two weeks in a row), and I was starting to think they’re really not worth the time/hassle/money. So, last night, I got curious. I found instructions online for removing them myself, but I also thought I could maybe let them grow out and just keep filing away until all the acrylic was gone. My curiousity led me to pick up the emory board and fingernail clippers (neither of which I thought would work on these things). I was wrong. They worked. I cut off two nails on my right hand (pointer and middle finger) and filed them down. After doing this, I was nearly heartbroken. I, honestly, didn’t realize just how much better my hands looked with the acrylics. Now, I’m stuck with two stubby fingernails and eight good ones, and to top it all off, those two fingers are starting to HURT today from typing! I guess the nails were absorbing more force than I realized, and now they’re gone.
Owie.
So, I’m thinking of going up there and seeing if they can “fix” these two. (Which I’m sure would involve a soak to remove the current acrylic, re-application of two tips and new acrylic. Time, pain, money.) Or, I’ll just have to deal with it until they grow out and have the rest filed down to match next time I get a fill-in which is in about two weeks.
*SIGH*

*sigh*
I’m not going to make it until 5:00 today. Not without tearing out my hair or screaming in frustration or murderating someone or… well, I will make it and without any of those things happening, but I feel so freakin’ bored and crazy (and in pain) right now, I don’t even want to be in my skin. And I have 1-1/2 hours left.
ARGH!
