Oh yay!!!

Blogger has been very naughty today. Not letting me in to post and I'm chuck full of fun things to say!

It's been a humorous day...bear with me.

I'm a chronic nail biter. I know, it's awful - it's part of that oral fixation I mentioned...I really do have one! I haven't got the patience to sit through getting acrylic nails done in a salon every two weeks so I buy Broadway Nails at the drug store and glue them on. People are always saying how nice my nails look and if I ned to, I can just pop those suckers right off. Which, incidentally, plays into this story...

I went to the grocery store for lunch to grab a sub. At the register, I'm fumbling for my wallet in my overstuffed Kate Spade bag while an elderly gent bags my goodies when suddenly *pop*! And through the air, this little red fingernail sails - - - landing perfectly inside the little old man's apron front pocket.

Nothing looks worse than a handful of glossy red nails and one empty finger and I know I have nail glue with me...so I want it back.

Me: Excuse me, sir? I'm sorry - my fingernail is in your pocket...
Him: Eh?
Me: My fingernail, see? (I show him) It just popped off and landed in your pocket.
Him: (blank look) What were you doing with your hand in my pocket?
Me: (kidding) I was trying to cop a feel!

...and yada-yada-yada, I did get my nail back, but I'm no longer welcome at the Boca Raton Publix grocery store.
