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.

Helloo Baaaaby.....

Those are the words of the immortal Big Bopper aka J. P. Richardson who died in a plane crash along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, February 3rd, 1959. Truly a great tragedy for the world. Haven't a clue what I'm talking about, look it up. My last post I was struggling to get my nails back in shape. Sadly, they would grow a bit longer than my fingertip and then peel. I couldn't have a Nail Art Blog without nails!! Well now I do. Let's check it out.  Here we are... I decided on this color because it's Spring in my neck of the woods. These are really simple, I think anyone could do them. These are PolyGel. Not a gel, not an acrylic. You do have to cure then in an LED/UV light but you could do them with regular polish and some nail art supplies. The pinky and thumb nail have gold nail foil on them. The ring finger has some glitter and a gold tone shield. The middle finger has some pearls and rhinestones attached. The index finger is my favorite. I starte...

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...

Something for the rest of you.....

My last post was almost one month ago. I decided to use the OPI products foe one month to see how my nails faired. Well they faired well. Due to the use of gel polish(I believe), my nails peeled until last week. When you remove gel polish the wrong way, it peels the natural layers away. One would think, I would know not to do this. Guilty. I did it anyway. When I quit doing that, my natural nails grew out and they no longer peel. Yea!!  Are they short, yes. Are they healthy, YES!!! Patience is a virtue and not one of my better qualities. Now I need to work on my cuticles.😒 About six months ago, a small cat decided we were really cool and took up residence on our porch. She is the sweetest cat ever. March 19th, we walked out to the porch to discover the cat with a tiny orange tabby cat in her mouth. She had four teeny tiny baby kittens. I'm sure that is some sort of run-on sentence but WTF! Here they are in all their glory. About 24 hours old.   The grey one is...
