The past month I've had a gray cloud over me. It's been lots of things; suddenly distant boyfriend, emergency basement renovation and reorganization of my mother's horde, fifth anniversary of my dad's death which is still fresh. I could feel it all dragging me down, but I was trying to fight it.

Then I got the most lovely gift. I told my Santa that I basically would be ok with any thing that wasn't poop colored. Awww yeah! I got a mini color explosion in the form a bright pink sparkly Caboodle filled with nail care stuff and a ton of nail polishes in the best colors. I love when people use my username and I am now also the proud owner of a panda hand sanitizer holder, too freaking cute.

I was all excited to use my awesome new polishes, but grown up things got in the way and my pampering time would have to wait. I guess it was for the best. That distant boyfriend of mine finally reappeared a day late and more than a few dollars short. So on Valentine's day and the anniversary of our first date we broke up. At least I only wasted a year on him. So after I kicked him out, I got my polishes and gave myself a pedicure.

Thank you so much Santa for the lovely nail care set. I really love it. And it will come in handy when I start going on dates and stuff. I apologize again for the delay in my post, I wanted a pic of my pretty nails.
