It's been a while...

I don't understand why I'm so tired.  Okay, maybe I do.  Husband has been gone and I've been running my mom around to all her doctor appointments and errands.  I swear I'm busier now that I have a car.  This week is going to kick my ass.  I just got home from San Antonio and I get to head back again later this week, and mom's stuff also.  Can I have next week off????

Let's see, what's happened in the last week or so...  I made a new friend.

Squirrel getting fat on the peanuts husband threw at it.

Okay, squirrels are not friends, or even friendly, but this one was bold.  Came up to us and husband threw some peanuts at it.  I'm guessing this squirrel is used to begging for handouts.

Pixel was being Pixel...

Meow

I really don't know why he has to be under rugs or blankets.  I have a million pics of him doing this.  As long as he's happy, I have no problem with it.

I found my mug...

Life, uh, finds a way.

I had to take the pic like that.  Mom's cat Nick was just standing there, so of course I had to make it look like the mug was growing a cat out of it.  I was obsessed with Jurassic Park back in the day.  I read the book before the movie came out.  A bit of disappointment at some of the changes for the movie, but it was good.  Saw it at least 5 times in the theater.  Saw Jurassic World last week, so yeah, I remembered I had this mug somewhere at my mom's house.  Found it, so now it's here with me.  I can't believe that was 22 years ago.  I swear I'm really not that old!!

So there was a bird just hanging out in the middle of mom's driveway.

It's the tiny thing in the vent reflection

I shooed it into the weeds so I wouldn't run over it.  It didn't seem injured or in distress, just stupid for hanging out where my tires travel.  Since it went back in the driveway on my way out I got a better picture (even though the above was taken on my way out).

Where is the boy bird?!?!?!!!!

After a bit of time searching online I discovered that this is a female Painted Bunting.  If you don't know, males are VERY colorful.  Here, have a link to explain and show you the pretty males.  If there is a female, surely there is a male around somewhere, right?!

The day I left for the 4th of July weekend this arrived.

Oh.Em.Gee. I might die from how bright they really are.

Yup, my OPI Color Paints arrived.  I made sure they were okay, snapped a pic, then ran out the door.  I haven't even swatched them yet.  I can't do anything with them until Friday.  *pout* This makes me sad.

Fourth of July nails!!!!

So much for trying to use tinsel instead of my rock...

My poor ring finger.  The only finger to not get that awesome Star Blast Off glitter from Sinful Colors.  I tried to do a reverse stamping decal thing.  It was stupid stiff and did not want to stick to the nail.  I think there are about 8 layers of polish in there - 2 coats of Zoya Trixie for the base, then one clear to get it to stick and 5 more to make it stay down.  I need to watch a few more tutorials on reverse stamping.

San Antonio is GREEN.

Sunset is a bitch to get nice pics

I dunno, I just thought this was nice and green.  It's green here too, but it's just odd to me that Texas is all sorts of green.  I've never seen it like this.  I'm enjoying it.
