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.

Wishing you the very best Holiday season

Yes, I know it's been two months since my last post. My health issues have carried over for two months and I have been exhausted. I was finally feeling better and I lost someone very dear to me. When I was born. I was blessed with amazing parents, my Nana and my Aunt Wanda.  Wanda has always treated me like her own. I spent every minute of my childhood that I could at Wanda and Nana's house. It was home to me. My grandmother taught me how to iron, cook and sew among other things. I lost her when I was 11. Both parents passed away in 2003. Wanda was always there for me. She was like a second mom to me. She helped me with anything she could.  She babysat my six kids when I was a single parent going to school. She treated my kids like they were her own. She was an amazing woman. She worked at Grand Coulee Dam when it was being built, she traveled and she truly loved life. She was a Christian and she devoted her life to Jesus Christ. Back in July when I had surgery on my foo...

A woman is helpless only when her nail polish is drying......

My daughter gave me a sign that says just that as a gift. She is so right. I can cook anything I choose, change the oil in a car, change a tire and a hundred other things I learned along the way. Mess with me when my polish is drying, you are going to be in trouble. \ Seriously. Painting nail is an art, even if you are putting on one color. It's tricky,it takes practice and its frustrating as Hell if you have to start over. Be patient. Let a woman get her nails dry and everything is awesome.  Fortunately my kids aren't little anymore and then fend for themselves most of the time. Other times it's like this "Mom, Mooooom, I've cut my carotid artery! I'm bleeding!!"  Yes dear, I'll be right there. Let my nail polish dry. Seriously, it's never that severe. Funny though. On with the polish at hand.... I really like the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer. It makes a nice smooth base to work with. I use one coat. It dries fast which is a bonus. Who really...

Greetings fellow nail polish fans...

My daughter has been out of school for nine days due to the weather. At this moment, it  is snowing like a son of a gun. She's so bored. I recently received the latest copy of Nail It! magazine. It's the November/December issue. There are so many amazing ideas for nails. As I was perusing through it's pages, I came upon this. This was submitted by Nora Ramsdell, Richmond, VA @naq57.  I really liked the look of the gold and green/teal color. Very chic but simple too.  Here we go.  I started with a base coat. Your choice. As long as it works, you will be fine.  I like Green but not all Greens. I tend to gravitate towards the blue-green, green-blue, teal-y colors. I chose Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Re-teal Therapy. I love this brand. It drys quickly and on me, it lasts until I take it off. That's usually about 10 days. I used two coats. For the Gold, I decided to try something new. I usually use stamping polish. I have seen videos on YouTube...
