More amazingly deep content for Thursday

Yesterday I resized the Italy pictures so they're a manageable size for casual browsing and named them something more helpful than the assigned numerical title that the camera gives it by default. Then I realized that I'd dated them all wrong--I forgot we lost a day going there. Of course, I didn't realize this until I got to the ones for Day Seven and I thought "Wait, we came home on the thirty-first. Why am I only on the thirtieth?" Gah.

Does anyone want some postage stamps from Moldova?

So that prescription Dr. Burt gave me for the new allergy medication? I lost it. I also lost the $48 check from KU Endowment that I was going to deposit on my way to the pharmacy. sigh If I don't find it this weekend, I'll call for another copy. How irritating.

Breyer's Fried Ice Cream flavor is quite tasty. Two thumbs up.


I'm filling in my brand-spanking new planner this morning. I love how all the pages are crisp and clean. I'm being careful with my handwriting and taking care not to smear the ink. It'll be all dog-eared and dirty within two weeks, but for now, oh so nice and tidy.

While pulling the new graduate handbooks out of their Kinko's box, two of the spiral bindings caught in each other and pulled the handful out of my fingers. Somehow, it caught on my thumbnail and pulled it out away from the nailbed. Shit, I thought, so much for that nail. But there wasn't even a mark on the nail! I tell you, folks, Nailtiques products are the fucking bomb. Last year, that sort of thing would have ripped my nail halfway off. But now? Not even a snag. They're available at Joda & Friends Salon on 6th Street! Buy locally!

So was your trip FABULOUS?? I forgot you and [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick were going somewhere so when I dropped by your place of employment, I was sad to discover you weren't around! Next time for sure! I did manage to see a couple faculty members and chat with SL in her office.

I'm so sorry I missed you! I would love to have the chance to just sit and chat again sometime. I feel cheated! Cheated, I tell you! Maybe sometime we can plan a non-event related vaction in your neck of the woods.

I'm so glad you're back!
And I'd love some stamps if you've got any left........collage time is comming....we needs materials.

Nobody claimed them, so the stamps are YOURS! Shall I mail them to you?

You could.....or, and I know you're a busy girl, we could have drink-date part deux.....or will I be seeing you at Faire?

You'll definitely see me at Faire. I'm helping Notty with smoker again this year. Should I just bring them with me?

Ok, time to get serious about my fingernails...three weeks before the wedding.

Can you give me tips (no pun intended) on which products to use for weak nails including one that splits vertically? Of course, it's my ring finger!

I really don't have any suggestions besides Nailtiques Formula 2. Have you tried it yet?

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2007-08-13 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, but I've ordered some and will try it soon as it arrives. I looked for it locally and couldn't find it.
