Dying to get into a Grand Opening!

I had a list of 15 things to today and got only 2 of them accomplished. My new refrigerator I purchased over a week ago is too big so I've had my contractor knock down a wall to make it fit. Of course a normal, sane individual would have just bought a smaller appliance, I am happy to say I am not a normal or sane individual. This does tie into the title...just indulge me a bit here.

So I had to paint the space that was created for the fridge and make it look like the rest of the kitchen. After going to Lowe's and getting what I thought was the right color, I quickly realized that I was very wrong and that I needed to go back to the hardware store and try again. This time I went to Home Depot. On the way to Home Depot I saw a very odd sight. Right in the middle of a cemetery was a huge sign that said "Grand Opening." Well of course I love going to Grand Openings and this one was no different. Well maybe it was a little different. I mean I didn't have any problems finding a parking spot and the items on sale were all on display.

Ok I feel a little like Elvira Mistress of the Dark here talking about the Grand Opening like this. It was too funny. Why would you put a Grand Opening sign in the middle of a cemetery? Of course if you really think about it, how else would you get the word out that you have space available for new tenants?

I did take a picture but technology is not my friend and my phone and computer have decided not to continue their relationship at the moment leaving me with wonderful pics on my phone and none on my computer.

I wondered, as I drove around the lot starring at dead people's voices in stone, what my own burial would look like. I would have to have a pink coffin, of course. I don't want to be cremated. I know it's cheaper but so just leaving me in the middle of the woods for animals to pick at my dead carcass. I want something that people, who ever cares really, can go to and know that my remains are there. That I really existed and that I really walked the earth for X amount of years. My grandchildren can visit and say "this is the final resting place of my bloodline."

I have picked out a nice little spot in Boulder where the lot butts up against the side of a mountain and has spectacular views. Not for me of course but my visitors. I just hope that whoever runs the cemetery at that time doesn't feel it necessary to post a Grand Opening sign over my grave, and if they do, I hope its a good sale.

Until next time...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

It's been three months....

Okay it's been three months since I started this journey. I had decided to stop being a slave to my fake nails and go all natural. For better or worse, I wanted to stop putting so many chemicals in and on my body and just let nature take it's course. Having said that, I knew I was in for a rough ride. For starters, I have been wearing solar/acrylic nails since I was sixteen years old. I now have a 16 year old daughter of my own, so you do the math...I will not help.  Anyway, The first two months were hard. My nails were so thin and weak that I could actually bend what little nail I had backwards without pain. So I cut my nails down to the quick and decided to start new. I first started with using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps but found out that they have formaldehyde in it. So I changed. I over to Nail-Aid's Keratin and 3 Minute Artificial. It is made in America and does not use formaldehyde and does NOT test on animals.  So, I saw little to no improvement...
