Road Rage in a Minivan

Today I had to go to the Springs and found that the red corvette's, the killer Bimmers and the awesome Ford Mustang's were not the vehicles to look out for when driving. It was the minivan drivers that had the worst driving habits. Those soccer mom's from the burbs and frustrated father's that couldn't have that cool sports car cause they knocked up their wives so many times they could create their own baseball team were the ones that were weaving in and out of traffic like they were trying to make a basket. Speeding down the highway at 85 miles an hour I was left behind like I was standing still by a minimum of four minivans. Now, I drive a minivan and they must have thought, as they were crawling up my ass like a hemorrhoid, that I was one of "their" kind. Instead I moved to the next lane and let them pass. I figured that they could clear out all the cops ahead of me.

There was one minivan in particular that definitely took the crazy cake. This white Ford minivan came up behind me and rode me like Seabiscuit. I tried to move to another lane but this ditsy driver followed me over. I sped up just a little but it wasn't enough for the NASCAR wanna be. I moved over again to the third lane, this seemed to work. As the van sped past me, I turned to see who my nemesis was. It was a woman that looked to be in her early 40's yakking on the phone and attempting to put on mascara at the same time!

I was disgusted!!!!!

Aauugghh!!! This makeup menace makes all women drivers look bad. Driving down the highway like a Cruella DeVille and trying to cover that weather beatin' bag on her face was just the icing on my cake for the days drama. I made it to my destination alive and ready to kiss the parking lot stripes in thanks that the Goddess in her infinite wisdom did not take me to that big shopping mall in the sky. By the time I made it home I was ready to relinquish my driver's license and just work from home instead of risking a heinous death on the highway!

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...
