Veterans' Day Mani & Other Fun!

Ok, I have been absent from my blog (guilty as charged...) but trust me...the nails have been polished! I am going to spam you with manis and some new kitten pics.


I have never mentioned this on my blog, but I have one son and he is an Army Veteran and I am immensely proud of him. We are making home made pizzas tomorrow for Veterans' Day for him.
I decided I would do a special mani for the day!

By the way I am just as proud of my three strong daughters also...My mother raised me to be a strong woman and my daughters are all that way as well :0)

OK, on to the mani!

 

The holographic sparkle is Hits Disco Ball-a $2 sale polish, whoo-hoo!

 Can you see the holo-goodness?

Ok, now KITTY!

Rowan was TIRED!
Now more mani spammi!

Above, Contrary Polish Fire-brand from a scratch & Dent from Llarowe -can you see that amazing purple flash being sneaky on my index finger?....I was a very bad polish fiend in October...

Candeo Voodoo and Girly Bits Howl At The Moon all over black. I was REALLY bad...Bad Twinks...

Essie Marshmallow with a Nina Ultra Pro "watered-down" holo topcoat and Sally Girl pink cheap glitter

 This was one of my October Breast Cancer Awareness manis-lovely pink glitter bomb

 

Now, more FUR BABIES!!

Take care and make sure you tell your loved ones how important they are to you...even if the are furry!
(What do you think of the new blog look?)

Bullying-not acceptable

I have seen a lot on the Internet today about bullying and I know I don't have very many people that read my blog, but here is where I stand.

Don't do it-there is nothing funny or cool about it, it is demeaning and hurtful. I don't care what people think about nails or hands that aren't perfect-open up your minds, close your mouths or get off the Internet.

My sweetie grew up with significant learning disabilities and so has one of my daughters (they are both far more intelligent than I am!). I have seen what that meanness of spirit does to a person first hand and it doesn't take much to bruise a person's spirit beyond repair. My mom used to say, "walk a mile in some one's shoes before you judge". Thank-you Mom, that is how I try to live.


I have seen someone insult a fellow blogger-made me furious. It was the lovely ABOP that was insulted.  It was beyond unacceptable. (The Redneck in me wanted to "Open up a can of Whoop-Ass")

So count me in-My precious few readers-Being hateful, spiteful or downright racist is not ever acceptable.

 

New Family Member!

Our family has been very busy with a variety of Fall activities...mostly relating to cows, but I do have a bit of wonderful news.
I had resolved not to get another cat after our Goliath disappeared, fearing it might happen again (we think someone is poisoning  neighborhood kitties). My daughter J brought me a gift, however. A little sweet kitten that was rejected by momma at 1 week old. We got her this week at 3 weeks old. Someone cared well for her until she came to us. I named her Rowan, and she is a feisty little survivor. She has gained 2.5 oz. In 4 days....
She will be a 100% inside cat, that is for sure!
Also...I have tucked in a picture of one of my October Pink manis
