It’s time to start thinking about my next little “solo excursion.” It came to light in a bit of an unusual way: “anticipation!” Or maybe “wishful thinking.” It’ll happen during my wife’s first trip in 2 years to see her sister in Chicago. Which will be in August, after we get back from a short visit to see the grandkids in TN.
My nails were getting a bit long, thus it was time for a fill. So, I went to get my nails done for the trip to the kids’ place. There were other women having their nails done, and though I wasn’t a constant part of their conversation it was fun to listen to, and lightly chat with, them. And my nails were done in their usual manner for this trip to TN.
However, it was a good chance to discuss with my tech “what to do about my nails” for my upcoming excursion (in about 4 weeks). Due to the repairs she has made to both big toe nails (I badly broke them) she will keep them all white to insure coverage for the repairs. But I inquired about her making my fingers pretty “next time”. My only requirement is that whatever she does must be “nail paint on my regular acrylic nails, not acrylic colors”, so I can remove it myself when needed, without another salon visit. She’s fine with that.
“So you decide what I’ll wear, OK?” Some of the things she told me she’s cogitating: traditional “pink and whites” (French manicure), perhaps adding fully white nails on ring fingers, with flowers on them, as accent nails…. or colored accent nails. “You’d enjoy having your ring fingernail on each hand painted hot pink with flowers…and you’ll love the attention you get! Or maybe all white… So how long do they have to stay nice?” “Only for a week” was my response. “That will work. What color dresses will you be wearing?” “Brown Floral and Blue/Black floral dresses, white skirt with black top, and sandals.” “OK, I’ll surprise you with something women will love, but promise me that you’ll wear them the whole week!”
I promptly replied “Yes, Ma’am!” Can’t wait to see what I end up wearing…
More, once it happens!

It’s years since I’ve been to a manicurist and I was forgetting how much fun the chat is about styles and events we want our nails nice for. Look forward to what she does for you for your trip. Sue x
