So a week ago Sunday I was hanging out at my neighbors watching the football games on the tube. I was just sitting there, minding my own business when their little girl, Shay, says something I can't understand and the two of them start cracking up. I'm all like 'What?' and they are all like 'You'll see'. So Shay gets this pink case out and comes over to where I am on the couch and opens it up. Fingernail polish. 'Uh oh' I think. Turns out, what she said was 'Ryan purple nails?'. Oh the agony! So for the next 30 minutes while I sit drinking a beer and watching football I have a two year old painting three of nails (and most of the tip of my finger) purple with glittery things.
The next day, last Monday, I had my refinance settlement at 10 am in Fairfax and had to catch a plane to Seattle in the evening. I went to bed totally forgetting my fingernails were painted. I only remembered the next morning while getting ready to head out to my settlement that I had three painting fingernails on my left hand. So I gave the neighbors a call and asked if they had any fingernail polish remover. In between breaths from laughing so hard Becky said yes so I went on down and cleaned up the fingernails. Off to the settlement then the plane.
As many of you know I refused to fly on an airplane for four years out of General Principle, which we have talked about. Over the summer Leslie and I flew Independence Air down to Florida for her sister's wedding. I had one kinda tense moment on the landing but all in all it was a positive experience. However, this flight was on Independence Air but five hours all by myself! :) Not to bore you with the details, but my flying ass is Back! No problems, bring on the planes.
I did buy a PSP and loaded up with UMD movies and games, so that helped. :)

I've had my nails painted before too, but I always took it off right away. I can just imagine you going to settlement with painted nails. B-)
Glad to hear about flying. I don't do it often, but it would suck to have to do it and be afraid of it.
PSPs rock. Michelle plays ours all the time. Get Lumines. We haven't taken it out of the PSP in months. Literally.
Burnout. It's all about the Burnout. I have that on the X-Box and now I have it on the PSP. Yay!
I had that puppy hacked for a little while but then just upgraded it so I could play Burnout. Oh well.
