Fingers and Toes, and Fingers and Toes :)

I'm not used to having the weekend off with no plans, no plans but dressing. I decided to do something with my time off.

I decided to was going to overcome a fear today. I drove around for a while, planning to go in drug store, head straight to the beauty department and buy me some nail polish.

So, I did the most obvious thing; drove downtown, assured myself that I didn't know anyone around this area, walked right into the store and.....chickened out and left with a loaf of bread...which I also needed....but, still. I kicked myself all the way back to my car. So, that was a waste of gas.

I then proceeded to drive around some more, telling myself I would do it at the next store I saw. The next store...no, that wasn't the right one. The next one I saw....the parking lot was afully busy. The next...some bullshit reason I forgot. About 10 stores in total. Depressed, and mad at myself, I started making my way home.

I was about to pull into my building's driveway, but changed my mind at the last moment (pissing off the driver behind me BTW) and "girled-up" and decided I wasn't going to be a coward. This was stupid and wasting MY time.

I pulled into the parking lot of the store closest to my home, and did what I planned to do. Right to the cosmetics aisle. Picked out a bottle, a bottle of remover, and walked right up to the cash, paid for it and left. There was even a line-up, and it didn't phase me -I just focused on the next step and thought of it as just another transaction.  I was so happy with a big smile on my face as I drove away.

I rushed in the door, and almost immediately sat down to finally do my nails! I may not have done the best job on them, but I happy with how they turned out this first time.  And I know black isn't the girliest colour, but I figure if for some reason I can't get the colour off in time for work at least I've seen rock stars with black nails...and I do own a few guitars...so... anyway it doesn't matter, Nothing really matters. It's my life. I have hot pink and dark red shades in a package out there somewhere in the universe, and I can't wait to try those too.

Toes are always going to be kept painted, fingers for now just in private, but hopefully that will change.

Aaaaaanyway, thought I would share my experience. Possibly more to come tonight :)
