Shrek Meets Girls Day Out

So it's like this. Steve took Zac and went with some friends to ride 4 wheelers today. So the girls and I decided to have a Girls Day Out and spend all of his money. Personally I think it's a fair trade. He takes the boy and does what he wants to all day, we take his debit card and do what we want to all day. So this is what we wanted to do. We wanted to have lunch at the Olive Garden and go to the mall. And while at the mall, we wanted to get pedicures. So we did.

We went to the Wall 'O Polish to pick out our colors. The girls all picked various shades of pink. I chose a very lovely purple. The whole time I was sitting there having my callouses scraped off I was staring at that boring bottle of purple polish. And ya know what I thought? Why am I so freaking boring? Every time I paint my nails, I paint them red, pink or purple. Red, pink or purple. After 30 some odd years, that becomes rather boring. While sitting in that vibrating massage chair I made a decision. I decided that my boring toenail polish days were over. I was kickin' that purple polish to the curb. Just as the lady picked up the bottle of purple boringness, I said, "I think I might want to change my color". So I did.

I went over the Wall 'O and thought, I want to pick something I would never ever in my whole life before today pick. (did that sentence make sense?) (who cares) Anyhoo. So ya know what I picked. Green. It was such a lovely green. In the bottle. I thought, YES. I am steppin' out and I am pickin' this fabulous funky green polish. It is hip, fresh, young and full of summer fun.

Yeah. Really. When it's out of the bottle and on my toes, it just looks like Shrek threw up on my feet. Sigh....pretty bad. 'Cause who wants to walk around with feet that look like an ogre tossed his cookies on them?

The thing is the lady painted these beautiful silvery flowers on them. I had to pay extra for that. I would consider painting over them if not for the flowers. So I guess I'm steppin' out in my own special ogreish way. If you see me comin', ya might want to put on your sunglasses.

Boring purple never looked so good before. I'm sorry I turned my back on you, purple. You've always been so good to me.
