These are not fake nails and this is not a French manicure.
They are my nails using a clear Gelish polish (manufactured by Nail Harmony).
Based on previous experiences, this manicure should last close to 4 weeks without a single ding.
This is my right hand. Not quite so lovely (I'm right handed, so I use this hand more, and I have a harder time, like most people do, with doing a manicureI♥blogsnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863817330700410486.post-4857163185722172702011-02-09T14:40:00.000-08:002011-02-09T14:40:33.631-08:00Nature's Fractals

I won't spoil the series finale by giving away its details but this was a powerful episode that left me with tears in my eyes. My girls want to watch it one more time before I delete it off the DVR.
Of course, I was attracted to the show because of the psychic medium I♥blogsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863817330700410486.post-27951031660264852512011-01-21T09:57:00.000-08:002011-01-21T09:59:00.380-08:00What I made last night (jewelry)
Copper Necklace: Silver silk, copper foil glass, copper beads, Swarovski crystals, and copper fisheye rings
It's hard to capture in a photo the swirls and stripes of black, silver, copper, and milky white in these awesome glass foil beads
This seems to be my M.O.: one big bead, bookended with a smaller, flat or coin-shaped bead, then separated by strands or open links.

My take on the Dec 1 "Survivor" episodeOkay, Survivor fans, tell me you're not ticked off by NaOnka and Kelly quitting at day 28. Double ticked off when Na didn't offer to sacrifice her movie date for the good of the tribe. OMG!
I don't think they deserve a seat in the jury, either. I'd rather see the last two jury members (as much as I dislike Brenda) return to play some more; that would be more fair.

AVATAR || James Cameron, 2009
Yes, it took me a full year to see this movie and, the fact is, we've had the Netflix Blu-Ray DVD on our home theater shelf for at least 6 months. That's how busy life is these days...
