Christmas spirit.......

What is that?? 

 So, I'm unable to connect to the wifi at home, or anywhere for that matter. So I shall rant.

  Who doesn't love Christmas? Most of the people I know do. Some more than others. My sweet daughter-in-law Elizabeth was listening to Christmas music when I was visiting.....in October. I have no problem with that. It makes her happy, go for it.
I was raised in the Episcopal Church. I loved it. Advent and Christmas was my favorite time of year. I don't know if it was the prayers, the hymns or the amazing Father White.  It was very a special treat to go to midnight Mass and sing the harmony to all the hymns with my sister. Sometimes my brother would be there too. He had the best baritone voice. It was truly magical.

 The off we went to our home. My dad always had eggnog with Puerto Rican Rum in it. It was the best. We put stockings up and went to bed. Even when I was in College. We still do for my kids and grand kids. 

 Christmas morning we would awaken to the smell of my Dad's special stuffing. Nothing is better. 

 I have been blessed with awesome parents. \

 So here's my rant: What the Hell is wrong with saying Merry Christmas?  I've done it my whole life. 
The way I've said the Pledge of Allegiance with "One nation under God" or "The Little Drummer Boy"n in Mrs. Chases' 1st grade class complete with a cross and a baby Jesus. How about having a Christmas party in school. It was fun. No one was offended. It wasn't until I was probably 3 years old or more that people started saying "African American."  Why does it matter what race or religion you are? Or what color? You don't have to find offence in everything that you don't agree with. Why did they take the "Indian Red" crayola out of the box? Because it was offensive to the Indians. Wait Native Americans. I'm white. Why haven't they removed white and black from the Crayola box? I'm not offended. 

 Here's some info about Indian Red.

  Indian red is a pigment composed of naturally occurring iron oxides that is widely used in India. Other shades of iron oxides include Venetian Red, English Red, and Kobe, all shown below.
  

 I guess it's a good thing there isn't Venetian Red or English Red in the Crayola box. There would certainly
be Hell to pay. Or Kobe for that matter. Those poor Japanese people. 

 I went to a High School where the mascot was an image of Chief Moses. At one point there was tak of doing away with it. Why? The depiction is stunning. Looked just like the pictures I have seen of Chief Moses. 

 Be kind to one another this season. I don't care who you worship, what color skin you have or your nationality. Share what ever spirit you follow with others.

 One last thing. That ridiculous brew ha ha about "Black Lives Matter." All lies matter. If you think only Black lives matter, your are delusional.
Merry Christmas to all (That's what I say. Always have, always will.) 
Thanks for stopping by.

Another sunny Saunday

And hotter then Hell. When it's already 75 degrees at 7:30 in the morning, you know it's going to be hot. Too freaking hot. So, I'm nice and cool indoors, doing my nails...and fighting off a migraine. I saw today's idea on Pinterest. Here's the link. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829801950580/ These are so pretty. It looks like the white is 3-D but I didn't have supplies to do that.  So, per usual, I improvised.  Here we go... Base coat as always. I used French manicure guides to mark where I wanted the polish to end.  Wait for it....Yep, you are so right,! Amazon. I used Essie Loot the Booty for the blue. This polish has just a hit of super fine shimmer in it. For the white, I used Mundo de Unas nail stamping polish. You should find it here. http://www.mundodeunas.com/ For the teeny dots, I used a dotting (Amazon) and L.A. Girl Color Pop White On. I bought mine at Rite-Aid but my store doesn't have it any longer. Top coat - Sa

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.......

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr purr. If you watch the Big Bang Theory, you know where this comes from. I don't. But my daughter does. When I saw this polish on the Super Nails Etsy site, I had to get it for her. Me, being a cat lover, I had to get one for myself as well. Here is the link. https://www.etsy.com/shop/supernails This is a polish that has a sheer pink base. It is full of pink, grey and white tiny spots. It's not glitter, because it doesn't sparkle. The think that made me want to buy it is that it has white, pink and grey......kitty heads in it. I thought it was really cute. Let it begin: Base coat...check. Pro-Fx nail Concealer in Light/Medium. I don't know if I mentioned it but it come is Medium/Dark as well. One coat of this. Polish...check. If you aren't familiar with glitter type polish, it's applied differently than regular polish. For  me, the first coat is the base coat for the color. each following coat that I put on, I am pl

Happy Mother's Day.

Greetings:  I hope all of the Mother's have a blessed day. Children are amazing. I have seven of my own and many of my children's friends that I claim as my own. I bought some new polish on Thursday. I bought a dark pink, a nice blue, a sand color and a sparkly fairy dust color. The blue reminded me of my Mom's blue eyes.  I lost her in 2003. It doesn't get any easier. It's just life. I miss her terribly. She was very special. Let's get the show on the road. First, a base coat. Your choice. I used the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer in Light Medium. I used one coat to create a smooth surface. I chose Pure Ice Shine Rain & Shine. Thins is a nice cornflower blue. Two coats.  For the glitter I used Glitter Lambs Million Dollar Gradient. I love this color. It's gold, gold and more gold. It's  a "bam"in your face gold. With glitter polish, the first Coat you need to "place" more then "paint" it on. Th
