Pretty little fingers

So I have taken off the acrylic to give my nails some air this month. Also to save the dollars I would spend on the upkeep of them for Christmas gifts or gift. Aww I'm so nice, thinking of others instead of myself. So back to me, since I am without my nail artist I needed to reconnect with my artist inside and come up with super cute top coats myself. Thankfully I have been preparing for such an event by pinning every cute nail picture I run across. My board is the Whimsy Claw (I thought it was a cute and funny name for the board) you are welcome to go take a look. Anyways so first thing first its Christmas time and I remembered pinning a picture of a red and white polka-dot combo. So without looking at my pin I decided to give it a whirl. The Pinned picture shows one hand holding red nail polish. It has 2 nails that are white with red polka dots and 2 red with white polka dots.

I'm assuming they went ever other nail. 

And this is my attempt.

So needless to say I did not do it this way. Should have took a peek at the pin before I started. So I did the right color combo but only had 1 white with red polka dot nail. Hey they were still cute for the 2 days they lasted. No I have a Green and teal combo going on. I made this up myself. Its Lime green Crackle polish and a teal polish underneath. 

Hulk type nails I guess. 

I don't really like it but I will rock it for a few days before I try something else. I will also try to keep you posted. 

Are you serious?

There is a city in California that has been blessed with a name I think my niece came up with. I'm sure it may be a very nice city and the people who named it may have a valid reason. My hope is that the reason is not "Since we are in California and it is next to Mexico, we should name it Calexico!" Because that would just be...well I don't want to offend anyone. 

Hey its a name of a band too. But the band is not from the city, nor CA or Mexico, they are from AZ and they just name the band after the bounder town for...no reason what so over, not even a giggle.

Just looked up the city and Wikipedia (thanks wiki) says that not only is Calexico such a cool name for a town that bounders Mexico and is in California. But it should not be alone, so its adjacent sister city should be called Mexicali....NICE!

Kitty Paws

My mother has recently decided to add a new member to the family. For more than 3 months she has been talking about getting a kitten and bugging the life out of me. Now 3 months ago I suggested that she check the Humane Society and Craigslist. However my mother fell prey to the bizarre rants of my brother and decided that Craigslist was a very bad place to go to for anything. Anything, including cute bait kittens owned by serial killers. He instructed advised her to never-ever go to this site. Additionally my mother also decided that she didn't want a adult cat and that all adult cats are fat. So yesterday when my mother opened the subject up again for discussion, she insisted that she didn't want a "Fat Cat".

Phone call goes as follows:

Mother: (on speaker phone) I don't want to wait for a kitten any more and Eddie's (my brother) friend, I don't know I don't think she would really bring the cats down. Why can't you talk to the people you work with and get me a kitty.

Me: annoyed sigh
(Having no ideal why my mother thinks I work with cat breeders or a rescue group. She knows I work at a call center and my circle of friends are not cat breeders.)

Husband: (listening to this exchange) Why don't you HELP HER.

Mother: Clarissa why are you not looking?  whining 

Me: This isn't my cat.

Mother: Come on! also whining

Me: Have you looked at the Humane Society? to husband  Can you go to the website? Hey they are even discounted the price for cats now!

Mother: Why didn't you tell me that?

Me: Just saw it on the news I don't know when. (By this time my husband has the site up and I'm looking at the discount information reading it to my mother)

Mother: But that is for the adult cats, I don't want a fat cat.

Me: Did you just call the cats "Fat Cats"?

Mother: Look for kittens.

My husband doesn't find any kittens on the site. So mom gets upset and starts really whining like no person over 6 should do. I finally point her to craigslist Lincoln and Omaha listings. And she finds a kitten she likes. I was force to drive to Omaha and go with her. No cute kitten owner who happens to be a serial killer is going to kill my mother. This was not the reason I was forced but I'm just going to pretend it was. So now the kitten is home and my mother is so excited. I'm happy this is over and now my mind can take a siesta.

Here is a Email sent by my mother about Yoyo (kitten weird
name) first night.My step-father's name is Martin. You know I think Martin for a pets name would be funny. Anyways here is the email.

No not the movie. Pinterest accepted my requested. I am now a official pinner (I don't know if this is right). Yeah!!!!!!!!!
Okay so you can go to my Pinterest page and follow me there by clicking here. Or since I'm on Pinterest I am actively twitting now. And you can find that page by clicking here.
So happy browsing the net, try not to get lost or caught in some kind of internet gang.

Thanks Pinterest for the invite.

Something else I want

Pretty Foot Tattoo!

Waiting...come on really...waiting

So I finally went to Pinterest and looked around for a little while. And I kinda like the spot and want to spend some time there. Meet the natives and take in a show or too. So as a browse around I find things I like, don't want to forget about, and want to keep. Know keep in mind since my arrival at this site a banner has been following my every move. Upon further inspection it seems to be say something to me. I stop and take notice to what it says a invite what? I have to be invited to this picture sharing community I have come to enjoy a little. Oh come on I have already went through this with +Google. Why god why. I just want to look at pretty things and be inspired to make my own pretty things. You know what this is ridiculous and I am not happy. I don't need to be in your special community. I can "pin" stuff to my Twitter, +Google, Facebook, or even my Blog. So there Pinterest! I sent my request for a invite. Its just to much work to add all those pins to any of the other  sites.

Long time, blah blah... right so...

I'm sorry it has been awhile since I posted something. I am not a good Blogger. Here's the deal I have a hard time staying focus on something that it just about my thoughts. I compare it to listening to someone just talking and talking for who knows how long. And you know what is sad, really sad, basically I hate listen to myself talking haha. Just sad really. On another note.

Crafts I found today: 
Made: Roses are red...
I wouldn't do a whole bunch of these, but I did make one for my desk. Its nice and pink.


Totally going to make, promise: Baby Crocheted Tong Sandals
These are so cute, I flipped over the picture while at work. I even have an order for a pair of them already.

Wish I would do/make but I won't:: Cookie pan Chalkboard
It would make life just a bit simpler. And my husband could not say he forgot.

Where I have been the last month:
I have became totally addicted to comics. Not the super hero comics of yesteryear, but web-comics of today. So I have been hanging out in the back room of a few web-comic pages for the past month and need sunlight and air. Here are the addresses:
Explosm.net - Home of Cyanide & Happiness


Comics, Quizzes, and Stories - The Oatmeal


Edmund Finney's Quest to Find the Meaning of Life - A webcomic by Dan Long at EQComics

Invisible Bread -

thedoghousediaries.com
This is the newest site I am addicted to. I have a problem I just wish others would realize it and help.

Oh by the way Happy May Day! (nope not late...somewhere)
