Long time no talk!!! It's been several weeks since I last posted. Life's been pretty busy lately and I've just not had the time to sit down or I've been to tired to write up a blog post. Been going out with my sisters and brother to Mom's a lot on the weekends to go thru Dad's stuff, he had so much stuff, it's pretty crazy. Mom has been selling stuff here and there too since Dad passed, but, it's still so much that's it's going to take quite a while to get rid of it all. It's so weird and just feels so wrong going thru his stuff, it just doesn't feel right and it's so sad too. I did bring one of his deer antler racks and a hat of his home and hung those on my apartment wall and it's nice to see that as an honor to my Dad every day, but, I am still so sad, I miss him so much it's not funny. I also got some other stuff that was his and it is nice to have stuff that was his, but, I'd just so rather have my Dad back, life just is not the same without him here, sigh, and I've been really sad lately missing him. Yesterday would have been his 77th birthday so that was a bit sad too. I did go to church with my Mom in the morning, then out to the house to hang out with her and to see my horse, then we went to Casey's for a cookout later in the day, so, it was still a nice day.
Mom has been doing pretty good, she's so strong and truly a rock, plus, she's a good Christian woman and I do believe her faith helps her too along with Gracie, the dog, who she's been taking to get her therapy dog certification and keeping herself busy which I think is helping too. I try to get out to see her at least twice a week. My younger sister does live at home still, glad Mom does have her there too now since Dad is gone.
Back in the middle of April Casey and I had our PA Dutch food themed potluck and that was so much fun, felt good to have good friends over and it was such good food too :) We'll do another potluck around mid-summer, but, not sure what our food theme will be yet for that one.
The kitties are all doing good. I do think that my old one, Buster, is getting a bit of kitty dementia, he'll start acting really weird and disoriented/confused and he'll pee and poop in inappropriate places which sucks, but, I'll do what I have to as long as his quality of life is still good and it is, he's simply become an old man. I am getting tired of cleaning up cat pee a couple of time a week tho', it sucks. He's always been one that would on the rare occasion pee on something, but, now it's getting more regularly and it's so frustrating, but, what to do, that's a part of having animals sometimes. But, I do love him and he is my buddy.
We've also been starting to get ready for our Burning Man regional event in 2 1/2 weeks. I am so ready for this event. I need a vacation really badly, works been really busy and crazy, so I am so looking forward to getting away for 5 days, yay :) Plus, it's all my weirdo burner family and I can't wait :)
Other than that, life has been uneventful, which is okay. I'm going to try to start posting more regularly going forward and I do have lots of fun manis and nail related posts in mind. So, with that, onto the nails I've done in the last 3-4 weeks. Here you go, hope you enjoy them :)
The base I used here was OPI "Rich Girls & Po' Boys", then I used a fan brush and OPI "Suzi Nails New Orleans" and OPI "Planks A Lot" to create the look on my ring and index nails with a coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust" on top of those. My glitter accent is Nails, Inc. "Richmond Gardens". I put a coat of Jesse's Girl "Confetti" on top of my pinky and thumb nails to finish this mani.

I just did very simple glitter accents here. The base was OPI "Suzi Nails New Orleans", the glitter was Icing "Party Confetti" and I used one coat of Zoya "Leia" on the non-glitter nails (this is from their spring Petals collection out now and I love this one, you should get it, it's a really pretty sparkle top coat).

For these nails I decided to mix it up by using two polishes as my base. I used China Glaze "Pop The Trunk" on my pointer and middle nails and Essie "Peach Side Babe" on the rest, then I used some mustache decals and a dotting tool for the eyes and noses with a coat of Orly "Prism Gloss Gold" on top. I used Sonnetarium "Snowfall" as my glitter accent and then a coat of NYC Sparkle Top Coat on my thumb and pinky nails,

| Bachelorette Bash by herself, this is such a pretty creme and the formula A-OK!!! |
That's it for today. I'll try to get another post up this week and show my blog the love it deserves more again, yay .
I leave you with my baby, my heart, Miss Betty. Isn't she just the cutest ever!!! I love this little cat so much it makes my heart all but explode :) Here she is cuddling with Mommy and a blanket on a cold night :)
