Maybe I should work at one of those Asian nail places! And maybe she shouldn’t! My daughter and I took turns doing each other’s nails today at the local HHI Princess party. It was cute, but BOY am I jaded. I suppose it is good that I realize I am jaded, I suppose that is [...]

Anyway, my insurance is fine (don’t worry) but in a flux because I am changing from married to single, and the pharmacy hasn’t caught up yet. Anyway, I ran out of happy pills [...]
