I love summer

It is hot here, for Wisconsin Standards, and is going to get hotter this weekend. Near 100 F with heat index nearing 110F. I say awesome. As long as I can sleep in air conditioning. Otherwise I get crabby, and my evil twin comes out for a visit.

I love how it stays light later, and most weekends you can see fireworks somewhere around. We just went to Sussex Lion's Daze tonight and saw some fireworks. They were ok. Finale was great. But it was mostly ground works, and those big Boom flash fireworks. Sadly, no 'waterfally' ones.

I also love how the kids are busy in summer, but I don't have to help with homework. Going to pick up DS from a week long camp. He went last year and had a blast. This year went horseback riding. I can't wait to hear how it went. I missed him, but we had some good bonding with DD.

The only thing I don't love about summer are the bugs. Mainly no see ems and mosquitos.

Oh, and on an unrelated note, I got a pedicure & manicure last night. New girl started at the salon I go for my haircuts. Relatively cheap too, but it took too long. I am impatient. Now I have pink nails. OPI Blushingham Palace.

It's hot (in the 100's) here, too. The A/C is on, but only cooling the house down to about 85 degrees.

I got a mani/pedi last week, too. I love that color; it's similar to mine, but I don't remember the name of it. My cat got her claws cut, too, so she got her mani/pedi as well.

less than 24 hours after my mani, 1/2 the polish on my thumb and most on my index finger had peeled off. So I took all of it off and went to clear base & top coat. *sigh*

But my toes still look pink hot!

I suggest that you go back to the salon and tell them what happened. That's not right.
