Miss Communication

Ok there comes a time when you realize just how fragile communication between two people can really be. I will give you some examples. Yesterday my father and I went to Walmart. In the parking lot, as I was unbuckling my seatbelt, he turned to me and asked "What are we going in with?"  I was confused. I didn't know what he was talking about, I looked at him hoping to find some glimpse of what he was talking about in his face or his eyes. Nothing. After exhausting all hope for figuring out what the hell he was talking about I said "Our dignity?" My father's face just contorted and then he busted out laughing. We both laughed.  He looked at me like I was crazy...and well...I am.

My second example of miscommunication was with my sister. She called me up today talking a hundred miles an hour about everything under the sun. You know those days when your thoughts are arranged correctly but your mouth just can't keep up with you. Well she was having one of those days. She was explaining to me about her new outfit and where she got it. Her brain was focusing on two different names for the same place. The place is called Dressed for Success but there is another store called Dress for Less. After merging the two together in her head she blurted out that she was Dressed for Lesbians. I was in shock. I didn't know the mechanics of what she was thinking like I just explained it right now until I ask "What?! You're dressing for lesbians?" My sister is not a lesbian. Not that there is anything wrong with being a lesbian but she just caught me off guard.

It's the little things in life like trying to convey a simple thought through words that can trip you up. It makes us say silly things that we normally won't. It makes us give cryptic messages without any hint at what the hell you are trying to say. Hey at least this post isn't about the restroom, right?

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. ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...
