girl’s night on the back porch of chez luxe

so, i spun up a storm today and attempted to quit while i was ahead and mostly pain-free. additionally, i woke up with hideous cramps. sweeeeeet!

jake helped his brother and his sister-in-law move into their new house both last night after working, getting home at 8:30p and having gotten up for work around 2a… and early this morning he and his parents went to help again. he has had a really rough weekend that was not like a weekend at all. i hope his brother knows what an amazing family he has.

we got groceries when he got home. i had seen on another blog a woman who does lots of things that trash her fingernails, so she gets press-on nails from the store. i thought that would be a great idea. i can’t keep nailpolish on and my nails look gross and dirty all the time from paint and dye, etc. so, i got these nails that are french manicure and are fairly short, i could easily grow my nails longer, but they look really really nice. jake couldn’t believe that they were fake. so, i was on the back porch doing them and twisted amy’s arm to let me do hers, she has super short nails…and her hands looked so amazing! her fingers looked a mile long! we came in to show jake and he oohed and aaahed and when amy left, he said that he couldn’t believe how great they looked.

we cooked out and i made some coleslaw and then s’mores. i made some of them with peanut butter, as well, which are just too too much. we had a nice time. i took peeps out on her leash and she had fun, as she always does. i worry she will get fleas, which would be really bad with all of that fur, you know?

that is about it for now. i will be updating the luxe site to-morrow if all goes well.

oh, here is some fancy yarn for a big order i am getting together…5 a.m. tuesday what else? um…some silk, anyone? it may look good enough to eat, but is made from wormspit, so think again! handpainted silk 2 ply

mwah! mwah! mwah!

    Mmmmm… smores, coleslaw, peanut butter, yarn and fake nails. Mmmmmmm….

    I have some monster tooth pain going on. Can’t even drink without a straw. Promise to call you back when I can talk without slurring like a drunk. Hope the yarn crisis is better.

    beautiful yarn!

    my daughter turned me on to those press on nails. i thought they would be totally lame but i ended up loving them. my last ones stayed on for a week. my real nails totally suck no matter what i do.
