What's that, you say? You've missed me?! Well, MAB, I have missed you too. ;)
What could make a blogger who hasn't posted in over two years come out of retirement? What could be SO big that it would be worth her dusting off her keyboard and committing to a night of recovering her blog password and reading through her previous, pitiful posts?
No, it's not a baby. It's not even a dog. It's something much less significant but almost as exciting (to me). I have discovered a wonder product, and I must share the news of it with those who haven't yet shared in its greatness.
I have always steered clear of getting regular manicures because they just don't last on my fingers. I could get a manicure on Tuesday and by Thursday it would be in complete shambles. Spending $20 on a mani only to have it dissolve after a day and a half frustrated me to NO end. So I preferred naked nails. But I've now discovered a way to get a manicure that lasts...are you ready for this?...TWO WEEKS. I never thought such a thing would be possible. But it is.
I give to you...OPI Axxium gel laquer.
Here is my left paw, after multiple days of wear, picking, and dish washing. This is day 13.
I am not even kidding when I say that this product is the best nail product EVER. It's come to my attention that some ladies do not suffer from the same mani issues as me; they are able to keep a $20 manicure for a reasonable amount of time. But if you're like me and need a stronger option, check out Axxium.
Now. That is a bit of a shallow post for my first one back. But I wanted to get something on the board so that I can (hopefully) start blogging again. There are a million things on my mind lately, 99% of them much more serious than manicures, but this was a start. I'm feeling good about the prospect of rejoining your blogging ranks.

I could not believe my eyes! A post from Goldilocks!! Believe it or not...I kept you in my Google Reader. And today, there you were, in bold font. "new post!" it screamed. And I am happy :)
I must get this stuff. I did a bit of research, and it says that it's only available in salons, and I think the whole kit is pretty pricey. Do you own it, or did you get your nails done at the salon?
Hi friends!
Rhonda - I'm SO glad you didn't delete me forever from Reader. I'm going to try and update re: my life mucho.
MAB - I've tried it at salons only. My friend made her little shop buy the kit so we could try it - and it's fabulous. They are only charging us the same amount as a regular manicure, while other salons charge more because of the cost of the product. So, until our little friends discover they are giving us more for less, we are in business. The kit for personal use would be tres expensive and, honestly, probably pretty difficult to accomplish on your own. Let me know if you find a place to try it out! OR, you could just come visit Dallas and I'll hook you up...
Don't I feel out of the loop... what the heck is Google Reader??!! Sounds like everyone is using this new web tool, and I haven't even heard of it! This is what being home all day with a toddler is all about I guess.
