Waited until the last minute...again.

I started looking into what my husband and I can do for Valentine's Day and have discovered that I waited until the last minute, again. I can't believe that some of these places start booking the year prior. I was looking into three places.
 
The first in Estes Park, Colorado. It is so beautiful up there this time of year and even though I have been there several times, I still enjoy the area. There is this Mountain Chateau, Della Terra, and I have wanted to try it for awhile. I decided to go ahead and make reservations for my romantic get away. The only problem is that they are all booked up. What a shocker. Well, there went that idea.
 
The next place I was thinking of was Glenwood Springs, Colorado. There are so many wonderful places in Colorado to visit. So I went to the Glenwood Springs Hotel website and well, they are booked. Shocker again.
 
Now don't get me wrong, there are other hotels and B&B's to stay in these areas but these particular places were special and offered amenities that I really wanted. So I decided to fore go the two top choices that I had and take a look at option three.

Viva Las Vegas!

That's right everyone I am thinking of going to the strip. I even contacted my cousin, a well known Vegas junkie, to see where the best place is to stay. Of course with a place like Vegas, there are always hotel rooms and things to do. With that said, it comes with a steep price, at least what I want comes with a steep price. I want to go to Paris, city of romance. Since I don't have ten grand in the bank at the moment I will have to settle for an elaborate knock off like the Paris Hotel in Vegas.  Yet, I have hit a snag again.
 
Gee this is getting more and more fun by the minute. Valentine's day is on a Thursday this year and the "packages" don't go past that...in most hotels. So now I have to pay full price (and believe me their "deal packages" were a deal in comparison) and that is also expensive. So, I wonder...should I just stay home with the hubby, go to a wonderful five star restaurant in Denver or Boulder and come home for a little post-dinner nookie or do I shell out the cash (and come home broke but lucky) and set off to sin city?
 
In the grand scheme of things...is Valentine's Day about the money (and candle light and chocolates, let's not forget about the chocolates) or is this really a day to just spend time with the object of your affection?
 
I know the answer but what do you think?
 
Until next time or until I make a decision...

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. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
