Oooo shiny!. I love nail polish but I rarely bother with it anymore. Avoiding touching anything for 30 minutes or more while I wait for my nails to dry completely just seems like too much of a sacrifice. I know there are supposed to be quick dry polishes that dry in only 60 seconds. I’ve tried them. They dry to the touch in 60 seconds but they still can be messed up by anything more than a light touch for a long time. And besides, what’s the point if I can’t get the color I really want? I just recently became aware of the existence of ultraviolet nail dryers (on Tanked of all things) and was seriously tempted for about fifteen seconds but I can imagine all kinds of problems with them. Do they tan your fingertips? And of course, do they really work or is it just something for you to do while you wait for your polish to dry to a light touch and then you still have to be careful for half an hour or more?

We can never get enough of cat bathing stories, can we? I’ve never had an especially entertaining time bathing a cat. Mine usually just cry pitifully and make relatively weak attempts to run away. We had a cat that would actually cry, “No” when we were about to give her a bath. I swear it’s true! I’m not making it up or imagining it. She very clearly said “No.”

Here are some really fantastic creepy crawlie photos. (insects, a couple of spiders and a snail) Seriously, these are beautiful!

It would have been simpler to just wash the car. I am impressed though. (and wondering if some of the images were Photoshopped)

Sometimes I envy British ladies. They get to wear such gorgeous and outrageous hats.

Hmmmm… Perhaps this is why so many people are so fascinated with sharks.

You look silly when you do this. So just stop it! Okay, honestly, I think I may have been guilty of #11 a few times.
