>Long and lovely

>the girl from . . .

Huh what? Oh sorry.

I got a request from one of my regular readers for a picture of my nails. They do look very nice, unfortunately my hands do not. My skin is dry and I have cuts and such. I managed to take a nice picture of the nails as you can see.


A little blurry, it’s the best I could do. The nail polish is mine, that I got at Sally’s and thought was red, it’s dark pink, so I can touch it up if need be. The gel nails are so nice. Tigger said they were long and beautiful.

>I found this at the park, on one of the picnic tables, written on, front cover missing, first page torn.

As I was leaving, I found this on the grass between the picnic table and the parking lot. I don’t know if you can see from the cover, but the book is Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I know some people might be thinking, “Oh its just a cheap paperback.” To me it is important, I feel cheap paperbacks are printed to encourage people to read, they should not be scribbled on and torn and left in parks! Unless you’re releasing them. But I can think of lots of better places to ‘release‘ a book.

>Our freezer died one day. The one in the basement, we still had the one attached to the fridge so we didn’t lose any food. D and Em bought a new one. Today it was delivered, D made a space for it yesterday and moved the old one out.

When I came home from work and opened the door to the basement, Butterscotch was not trying to get upstairs. I wondered why, it didn’t take long to find out the reason. He found a new perch. He was in kitty heaven. I think he slept up there. Such a silly kitty.

His fun is not over now that the old freezer is gone and the new one delivered. When I got home from Allsport, there were cat paw prints all over the new freezer.

He’s having a long and animated conversation. But with an empty chair. At least it looks empty to me.

>Manhattan

>This is getting to be a recurring post.

Since I spent 3 days in Albany Em decided I needed a trip to Manhattan, I suspect she was just using that as an excuse and just really wanted to go herself. I am her friend however so I went along with it. That sounds like I didn’t really want to go, of course I do. I wrote the above on the train, then I started to get motion sick, so I stopped. I just took some Tylenol® PM so I have to stop now. I will finish this tomorrow.

We didn’t go down real early this time. Em went to BJ’s so I decided I would go to Target to get a purse that I could carry my stuff and my camera in. Tigger wanted to come with me. So first I put gas in the car, then we drove to Target. I didn’t like how the car sounded so I checked the oil when we go to Target. Plenty of oil but dirty, so it needs to be changed. I will schedule that for next weekend. Em called while we were at Target so we met her at Panera for breakfast, we took a little too long so we had to drive straight to the train station, that meant I didn’t have my camera, I only had foundation on and I was wearing my Crocs™! My fuzzy ones. I was not very happy about that.

After making a stop at the bathroom, we started walking up 5th Avenue toward Central Park. I was looking for a perfume store I saw on 5th Avenue once. We didn’t find it, Tigger found it on his I-touch, but we didn’t go to it. I stopped at Sephora to see about getting a makeover, didn’t get one there, got one at Saks and bought some lip gloss. Em bought a bunch of makeup, enough to get a free gift from Lancôme. Tigger got a shirt and another jacket, navy blue this time. We went to Cafe Frida for lunch again. I had the same thing I had last time and Em had fajitas and Tigger had Salmon. This is some of the decor there. Kind of cool huh? Em said the waiter was kind of cute, I said yeah, in a South American Rebel kind of way!

It was a fun day after all. I bought lip gloss and two new pairs of Crocs™, we finished our day at Annie Moore’s as usual. I didn’t have Scotch this time, need to see if that is what makes me drag the next day.

>Tag You’re It!

>I was tagged by Marta at Marta’s Meanderings for a little photo meme. Here are the rules:
Find your 5th photo file folder,then the 5th photo in that file folder.
Post that picture on your blog.
Tag 5 others to do the same.

OK, I had to cheat a little, there was only one picture in my 5th photo file folder. So I believe this is from my 6th file folder but I still used the 5th photo. Here it is.


This was sent to me by e-mail. An amazing series of photos of the dog and bear, and the bear did not try to kill the dog. I don’t remember who sent this to me.

I’m going to cheat again and not tag anyone, just if you have 5 folders of pictures you should do this, it is fun. So the next five readers are tagged! LOL

>I am so happy to be home. I was thinking how great it was to be home. I didn’t even mind that it took 45 minutes to drive 2 miles in Queens this morning.

I took my shower so my legs are itching now from the dry skin. I was going to take a bath after my shower, but since Em had taken her bath before that there wasn’t enough hot water for me to have a hot bath. So I turned off the water and dried off and here I am. Freezing again after two nights in a hot hotel room. That had no tub in the bathroom.

As soon as I finish this post I have to take my contacts out, braid my hair and wash my face. I want to write my review of Dearly Devoted Dexter, but I think I will end up just going to bed. Kind of tired. So tired I can’t even remember what I was going to say.

I am going to post this picture that I took in Albany. I sent it to Tigger and he had a pithy response, something along the lines of how ridiculous it was to have an cigarette disposal next to a non-smoking sign. I don’t remember exactly what he said and I deleted the text, but it was appropriate.

>Last day of my trip

>and I am so glad to be going home today, which you can probably tell by the fact I am blogging instead of downstairs enjoying the complementary breakfast.

This is a nice room and it is warm, perhaps a little too warm, the heat has raised dry skin patches on my legs and itching. No tub either. The only mirror is behind the sink so I have to lean across this counter to put in my contacts and put on my make-up which I definitely need cause my nose and surrounding check area look like crap. And since I forgot my bottle of Tylenol®, I had to pay $2 for 4 tablets. I am also bloated from not enough water and too much restaurant/deli food. Not to mention drinking every night!

I have also not had the time or energy to take care of my tag. I have not forgotten I am planning to do that tonight also, or maybe tomorrow. And there was a blog I read that I wanted to comment on. That will also have to wait. Until I do, I leave you with this thought.

>Rats!

>I had some clever thoughts to post today and I missed it, it is now tomorrow. And I was tagged for a picture but I can’t think to do it. I really should just forget it all and go to sleep. The problem is, the tag is from Marta’s Meanerings, and it is a picture tag, if you click the link you can see, my problem is, I don’t have 5 photo folders. I am at a lose as to what to do. So I am just going to sleep now and try to figure out something later.

>Ruined manicure

>All that time and money! And remember how pretty!

And I have had no time to get them fixed. Maybe next week.

Today was an average day. Just up early, to work, home, Em picked me up so Stitch could get ready for the meeting. Oh one thing I did do was link my book blog to twitter feed so when I post to that blog it shows up in Twitter. Take a look at the twitter feed to the right, you will see my post for Mailbox Monday.
