Umm...

I'm watching a show on channel 4 called
One born every minute.
It's women giving birth...
I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to watch this.
I kinda had this idea that it would be all nice and
sweet and aww, look a baby.
But it's all pain and grunting and horribleness.
And babies of course.
And of course I know that childbirth is not fluffy
cotton candy and summer meadows ans pink roses.
It's bloody and messy and painful.
And things go wrong...

I'm not sure what I'm getting at.
Just I don't think this is helping
my fear of childbirth...

OMFG

There are actually videos on youtube
detailing how to use tampons...
Videos that people have made...

Hmmm

things

1. I chipped a nail yesterday, badly.
I don't think I've ever had a chip that large come off
without the nail breaking...
I had to get dressed really quickly as I'd woken up
just 5 mins before I'm supposed to be out the door with the minis.
At some point during that mad rush a chunk of acrylic,
a quarter of my nail, disappeared.
So today I went and had it fixed.
Actually I went yesterday after work but she was closed
and, say what you will about me, I learn form my mistakes.
No-one but Vanessa touches these babies!
So I went back today and she managed to squeeze me in.
And she wouldn't even take any money for it.
She really is a darling!

2. I'm doing an experiment.
Can't tell you what it's about as that would kinda ruin it.
All I can say is that it's day two and so far it's
going the way I thought it would.

3. I need to take action.
Don't know what kind, but some kind.
OK, so this one's sort of a work in progress.
I'll get back to you on it...

Today's lesson

I hate my nails.
Ok, not my actual nails but rather the infill I had today.
I've had acrylic overlays on my nails for a couple of years now.
I love it, my nails look nice(ish) and they don't break.
(for those of you who don't know, acrylic overlay is
like fake nails only without the tip.
Just a layer of acrylic on top of my natural nails.)
Anyhow, I've been having them done at the same place, by the
same person (Vanessa) for ages.
And she rocks!She always does a great job
and her customer service is excellent. She's a doll.
Lately she's been really busy.
I don't know if more people are getting in on the
nail act or if everyone's just realised how brilliant she is.
The upshot of this is that I clearly need to start booking
appointments rather than just swing by when I want my nails done.
Today I didn't.
When I walked in Vanessa was busy and asked if I'd mind
if someone else did it.
Not wanting to be rude I said that would be fine.
Big mistake!
She was slow, didn't say a word to me in 1 1/2 hrs
and I had to point out a chip that she was just going to ignore.
And now they're rubbish!
I'm distressed.
What do I do?!
My nails are now going to be crap for two weeks.
I wanna cry!
Ok, not entirely true, but it's really annoying...

Today's lesson:
only Vanessa comes near my nails!
Oh, and book an appointment!

:(

P.s I decided that I was over blue, so I went with
purple today.
Now you know.

WTF?

I don't understand why blogger lets me
upload pics sometimes and not others?
I tried resizing some photos and that worked.
But only for a while...
Now it doesn't anymore.

I really want to show off my mini book!

Grrr

Tomorrow I'm off to the British Museum!
I'm hoping to be able to get a ticket for the last day
of Moctezuma - Aztec Ruler.
But if not, ho hum - there's plenty to look at!
In fact I'd better get myself to bed now,
as I'm planning an early start tomoz.
Got to get there early if I'm to have any chance!

Nighties!

Really?!

Every day for the last week (at least)!!!!
Seriously?
4 years ago (I'm guessing it's 4 since it's coming up again)
I wanted very much to watch the Olympic ice hockey final.
Did they show it?
In a manner of speaking yes, but not beginning to end
(I don't remember if it was live or not)
and they kept talking about other stuff.
There was no ice hockey talk in the studio in the breaks.
As soon as it finished they went to something else...

But bowls.
That we have to show all day every day.
Live!

Humph

(edit: I'm not sure BBC were actually the channel that
cocked up the ice hockey but, as they're the state funded one and they're
usually the ones that show these things*, I'm pretty sure it was them...)

*The Olympics, football world cup, bowls, darts etc
