Everyday I'm Shufflin'

Ok I am sooo sorry for being MIA for a the past, however long it has been. I am sure I am not the first, last or only crazy writer. I have been writing till my fingers bleed and I have finally finished school. Yes, yours truly is now a real estate agent! Whoot for me!!!!! I have to give myself props because I am alone in my happiness. Literally, no one else is in the room except my cat and he could care less. 

Anywho, I have created a new meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/The-Sisterhood-of-the-craft/) check it out if you get time. Sorry guys, ladies only! Hence the name "Sisterhood". I know some of you out there are just crying in your beer because of the gender specific part of my new group but sorry.  Like I said I have been busy and it has taken all of me to keep my life from falling apart. I have been gluing my world together with a strange combination of Twinkie (yea their back) filling and wine, causing me to gain weight. What a shock, right?! Who would have thunk it? So now I have vowed to make up for my silly ways and not diet but eat better. Of course I'm not giving up the wine just the Twinkies. But I am now snacking on dried apple chips and adding a lot more veggies to the ol' belly. This should help. 

September is finally here and I am so looking forward to next month. I have tons of Halloween stuff I have been hoarding over the summer and plan to just let it all out on the first. Am I the only one who feels this way? Gee, I hope not. 

I have also been dreaming a lot. Rabbits, lizards and kittens (not all in the same dream) have stood out in various dreams along with the color green which means news from a distance. I found out what that news was last week when I was informed that my uncle passed away in California. He had been struggling with Alzheimer's and finally it took him. As proud Marine, he fought bravely and was rewarded with a one way ticket to heaven.

Well, this will be a short blog update but I guarantee to my five wonderful readers that I will be back and more often.  

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 ...

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...

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...
