Pretty fingernails club

I celebrated Martin Luther King day by working a paltry ten hours and getting my nails done. I'm on a "pamper myself" kick lately, so I try to set aside an hour every week to do a girly thing. My nails are usually broken and jagged and I make a pact with myself to keep them manicured on a semi-annual basis and then I don't see the inside of a salon again for six months. For years I've been trying to decide if I admire women who always keep their nails looking fab or if I hate them for having easy, uncomplicated lives that can allow for frequent salon visits. It's probably just a question of priorities.
The work thing is on an important cusp right now that could teeter into a world that is awesome, so I'm trying to keep the optimism all up ons. While I wait for the outcome, I'm sitting in my new office chair that heats and gives me shiatsu. Yeah, that's right.
I've also been sleeping better lately. Phillip even said that I'm looking less like a refugee from a sleep deprivation experiment. The dogs fully support me in this effort by being furry and lazy.

Soon-like

Grumpybear wants you to come see our new kitchen, which will be finished in just a couple more weeks. Praise everybody.

No

I'm not pregnant, sillies. I'm afraid the correct answer was "cyst", yes cyst was what we were looking for.
However, if the cyst has hair and teeth, I will name it and teach it to fetch mama a drink.

Ultrasound


My first ever ultrasound was so hellaweird. The technician was so much more polished and professional looking compared to most (and compared to me). I found myself mesmerized by her perfect looking hair and nails and thinking that she should do commercials or training videos to show other people how to do ultrasounds. But she kept making faces. Weird sort of "hmmm" or "oh my" faces. It drove me nuts. I wanted to jump up and look at the screen or yell "What? What are you looking at?! Tentacles? Is it tentacles? Oh, god, I knew there'd be tentacles."
Secretly I kind of hope there are tentacles. It would explain so much.
