Wake Me Up

Well if you know me you know I take my baseball very seriously. Ridiculously so. And if you follow the game as well you know that this week was important- trade deadline.
Now I hate this week in baseball. The rumors and speculation and eventual arguments that pop up online make me ill.

But yesterday...

Yesterday was terrible. You have to remember my love for Brian Wilson. I mean I loved what he did as a player but the man topped my list too.

Yesterday he signed with the worst team he could have gone to. The one place that hurt not just me, but most Giants fans deeper than we could have imagined.

He went to the Dodgers.

I read this in the car. I gasped. Covered my face. Dropped my phone. Scared husband. As soon as I had to say the words out loud to him I thought I would be sick. Physically ill.

People will say that's dramatic. Fine. But you obviously don't have my passion if you're going to pass judgment that quickly.

I'm crushed. All my dearest friends got it. We exaggerated our sympathies trying to get laughs. But at this point I'm mostly done. It's stupid but it's like a breakup. I'm finding shirts with his name. I'm finding pictures.

I think it's bonfire time.

And if you judge... well I'm sorry you don't care as deep as my friends and I. But I like to think that's what makes us such great friends. And fans.

Gamers

San Francisco. Giants win.

Only our fourth game this season.  We're a little behind compared to last year. But we have been to more Grizzlies games this year so...

Tomorrow is adventures. So we can avoid the triple digits back home. Ick.

Summer

Wouldn't be summer without fun hair would it? Yesterday was touch-up day. Meaning redo-it-because-it-super-faded day. I don't recommend Manic Panic.

Well Hello

I don't expect I have any readers left out there do I?

Didn't think so.

I've been absent but not dead. Summer vacation is in full swing. Actually it's more than half over at this point. Sadsies.

I finally decided I'd try blogging from my phone and see if that motivates me any. So here's attempt number one. I have ideas like always. It's just a matter of doing it.

I'll get a couple posts out before I really ask you to stay tuned.

This is not okay. And the news is telling me at the moment that tomorrow will be the same. Booooo. A 25 minute drive turned into 35 minutes this morning. I suppose it could be worse. I still don't like it.

Don't Get Your Hopes Up

Hello? Anyone there anymore?

I kinda disappeared for a month... and that turned into two... which continued to be longer.

Can't promise I'll faithfully blog at the moment. Let's be honest - Christmas is right around the corner which means lots of prep work for the house. Plus I'm the resident acting coach for the school musical.

On the other hand I finally feel like things are normal enough that I can possibly write semi-frequently. No telling what the topic will be though. It could be anything from a political rant to how I made a glitter switchplate cover for my sewing room (I totally did).

Hopefully I still have some of you left around. If not, well I guess I have my work cut out for me.

Day-ummm

I didn't realize it's been over a month since my last blog. Wow.

Things picked up over here. Things to deal with here and there. School started.

Contemplating the direction of the blog right now. If it gets a direction at all. For now, I won't be around. I may check in from time to time. I may start blogging with a vengeance soon. We shall see...

Hey

So I totally didn't blog my nails... they were nothing special. The reason...

I was at Disneyland!!!

We took the nephew. Fun times were had. I'm wiped out. I'll get some of the more fun pics up soon. I gotta go to bed. Too much fun...

Weekly Manicure

Hey I'm actually getting this posted on Monday morning! WOW!

I'm kind of enjoying this one. The camouflage was a lot easier than I expected it to be. We're going camping this week for a couple nights so I definitely wanted something that wasn't going to show dirt and crap.

This week there may be a mid-week change. Not only because my polish tends to chip when I'm doing wildery things like camping, but also because we're in for some fun stuff later in the week. :)

Ick.

108 degrees is just too damn hot.

There's a good possibility I will melt today.

Today is also July 11... meaning free Slurpee day. Of course they're small so it really won't do anything to cool me off.

If anyone wants to take me to the beach or somewhere cool you have my permission to kidnap me.

Weekly Manicure

This was done yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to put up the pic until this morning. In typical Typhoid fashion, my nails are matching a theme...

And this week's theme is the All Star Game!!! Man I love baseball. Hence the baseballs on my ring fingers. And the leagues (in their jersey colors) on the middles.

We're off to watch the game with my wife tonight (my bestie who is now referred to as my wife for many odd reasons I cannot go into right now). And I'm already thinking on next week's manicure. Which may require a mid-week polish change... we'll see.

Weekly Manicure

A day late because it was slightly complicated. But well worth it as I was asked to show them off at lunch AND two complete strangers at Starbucks noticed them. (Take that Chip... and you mock my manicure posts.)

BTW, Chip is the pastor I work with and he mocked me earlier today and said, "Did you post them on your blog yet???" in mock excitement. All my closest friends are kinda jerks. That's why I love them. :)

Off to a BBQ tonight. No plans yet tomorrow. We shall see what happens...

Weekly Manicure

Themed this week... but only if you know my team colors.

Hard to tell, but they're orange. And the ring fingers are white with black and orange splatters. :) Because we're off to a Giants game today!

There may be a polish change midweek this week. For funsies. What else will I do with my summer?

Weekly Manicure

So I have to laugh at myself. Here's the process I went through this week...

• Sunday: apply what I thought would be the base coat. Change my mind when I think about what I want to wear to a party this week.
• Monday: remove basecoat. But several new polishes. Use none. Settle on some to use. Do my nails. Hate the tape-stripe method I found so I remove the tape. Add a stripe. Add glitter. Hate it. Remove everything except the ring finger at 11:00 PM or so. Start again, watching True Blood to keep me company. Finally finish and go to bed.

I wanted blue and red because I have a grad party Saturday and I got a cute new dress for it. :) I'm in LOVE with the super pale blue which actually came from Forever 21. It went on really nice. I have another dealer for polish now...

While doing them I also realized I have the next three weeks planned out already because of various things going on. If I'm brave maybe there will be some mid-week polish changes for funsies.

 BTW, the ring finger and the thumb are my faves... they look like Dorothy's sparkly shoes. :)

 

 

Bad Mommy

Poor neglected little blog.

I just haven't made it a priority. I haven't done amazing things lately. Well... not amazing, but I ran my first 5K last Saturday in San Jose. Actually, "ran" is a bit misleading. I walked most of it. But I was still proud of myself for doing it. I have another (untimed one) in less than four weeks. Then another in September. It wasn't terrible. I obviously didn't die (a sentiment I expressed concern over on Facebook). It gave me a time to beat for the next one at least.

Manicure is coming tomorrow. As I write I still have one more step to complete.

So come back tomorrow. Cuz I love my little mani this week.

Crappy pic, but what else do you expect...

I attempted something like a galaxy manicure. I should really post a better pic... hmmm...

Okay, way better. Not the outcome I wanted, I'll have to try again another time. But it's kinda cool. Not bad for a first attempt.

So my first few days of vacation have been all over the place. I've had TONS of fun, but I've also been sick. Yeah, yay me. Hopefully it goes away this week. Because this whole "summer cold" thing is just ridiculous.

I'd promise to be around more, but we all know that's just not entirely likely. :) If I could figure out how to blog from my phone we'd be in business. Anyone know?

Weekly Manicure

I went kinda plain again. And this picture doesn't do the color justice.

I went plain with a glittery ring finger again. But this purple... so cool. It's like a neon fruit punch color. And the glitter is a mix of purple and blue. So it's kind of subtle.

Guess what y'all... last week of school!!! Let the adventures begin...

Interruption

I know I said I'd be around this week but I won't.

My father-in-law passed away this morning very suddenly and unexpectedly. There will be a lot for the family to do in the coming days and I will obviously be focusing on them.

Any thoughts and prayers are always appreciated. So many friends and family have already reached out and helped so much with their kind words.

Hug your family extra tight for me tonight.

Weekly Manicure

I did my nails this week! Yay! Here's hoping they're not ruined after we go hiking today. Hmmm...

I LOVE this blue color. It's Cinderella from Sinful. It has a shimmer to it and it's just pretty and girly. I threw some glitter polish from Forever 21 on the ring finger. I like.

It'll be a short week this week. But that doesn't mean I'm not already looking forward to Friday. :)

Oh Hey

Yeah I disappeared this week.

I had a big final credential thing to take care of and in typical Typhoid fashion I put it off to the last minute. But it's done. My credential is clear! And I partied Friday in celebration.

Rundown of this week:

• credential stuff and more credential stuff.
• OBVIOUSLY happy with the winner of American Idol. Squealed and everything.
• didn't get fancy with the mani. Just plain ol' orange. I've already started this week's though.
• fell asleep before 9:30 on Thursday out of sheer exhaustion.
• partied it up with a couple of friends Friday night. There was a toast to finishing BTSA and other fun stuff.
• panicked because I couldn't find my wallet yesterday morning. I knew I hadn't taken it out Friday though. And I checked my accounts and everything was fine. Called my bartender friend that was with me and he wasn't answering. So I went down to the bar and prayed some of the guys were there already cleaning and stuff. Thankfully I'm friends with everyone there so the manager let me in and looked for my wallet. It was in the employee locker that my purse was in Friday night. Guess when my buddy took my purse out it fell. Everything was there. I was happy. Had coffee to celebrate.

So things should be getting back to normal around here. I'm going to try to work on the whole video situation. Stupid things not posting...

Eight days of school left. Then summer. Yeeeeee!
