Today, after church, I decided to treat myself and get my nails done. It was lovely!
Not the bawl-outloud-uncontrollable ugly-cry (thankfully) but more like the silently-tears-streaming-down-the-face-can't stop-'em-if-you-tried crying. Believe me, I TRIED stopping, but alas, I could not. I just started thinking how miserable my life is right now, and how everything is in the TOILET. I know things will get better, but for now? I'm swimmin' in the sewer. And it all let loose today at the nail place. (Yeah - totally mortifying.)
My nail lady finally looked up and saw me. She stared at me for a while. Then (picture a very sweet, tiny, prim & proper, older Asian lady) she says, "Whatsamattah? You don't like your nail?"
And then I burst out laughing. I mean - totally cracking up. The lady next to me burst out laughing, too. Soon the whole place was laughing hysterically. It was hilarious! I felt like a total lunatic, but man. It sure felt good to laugh. (They may not ever let me in the place again, but that's ok. The older I get? The less I care what people think. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.)
Anyway.
In other news, my new little friend Lora came to visit the farm yesterday! Along with Heidi and Hillary. (Oh - and Griffey the dog, too!)
It was fun showing them around. Lora and Lexi became fast friends! (Lora kept saying they were GFF's instead of BFF's..ha ha!) She didn't like the pigs much, but we did get her to touch a baby chick! I think her favorite part was the strawberry patch. Oh - and the swings.
I hope they all come back again soon! (Oh but Heidi? Ummm....you need to get used to the farm smells first. Pigs? Yeah. They SMELL. Come back in August when it's hot. And the farmer across the street sprays his pastures with cow crap. Fun times.)

Thanks for having us out! It was so much fun and yeah, the best strawberries I have ever tasted!!
What pretty hands. Are they gels or acrylics?
Awww, Di, it's good for you to cry just as much as it's good for you to laugh. That's a good place to do it too. Around a bunch of women who understand crying. I remember going to see a movie with my good friend, Dee. We saw "End of the Spear". When we were walking out I mentioned I hadn't cried that hard in a long time.
De said, Yeah, not since "King Kong". :*) We are emotional beings and we need each other to cry with.
Oh my gosh, Mary. I BAWLED at End of the Spear, too. Another movie I just lost it at, was Philadelphia. With Tom Hanks, remember? Oh my - cried like a baby.
By the way - they're gel nails. Thanks!
We also need friends to go to The Happening with...you could cry during that movie too if you wanted.
HE HE.
LOL! I can just envision the scene! I have been there, just recently girl! I was having a bad hair year... and I decided to just go get my hair chopped. I have always been so picky, I decided to just be at the mercy of a total stranger since my hairstylist was out of town. I go in and sit in the chair and enjoy a wonderful shampoo then I sat in her "fixin' chair" and as she was doing my hair, I let loose. Just finally too much had built up and I let it out! BIG BOO HOO'S! The lady was horrified thinking I was crying over my hair. Then, with snot running, makeup resting on my towel, swollen eyes, I CRACKED UP! Here I was with my hair all mussed up and looking like a total hag and this poor lady is so worried! After I quit snorting... YUP... SNORTING!!! And the other ladies that were in other booths had quit giggling so loud... I told her how sorry I was and let her know I just needed some hairpy (Hair Therapy for the totally sane). She laughed and then we both cracked up again! She ended up praying with me and sharing some very wise words. What a wonderful minister she was to me that day. I don't remember her name or where I went... but I remember I needed her that day. Thank goodness she spoke ENGLISH! LOL!
