Today I had my grant writing class. I thought it was going to be $200, but it was only $100! When my dad heard I was taking it, he offered to pay for it. Because of his generosity I can now take the Advance Grant Writing Class too!
After, I rushed home to change my clothes and then get a mani/pedi. Longest mani/pedi ever! Almost 2 hours later I walked out of there. But I am ok with it. I have been trying to find a nail salon here in Nashville, that I like (ie their cleaning standards meet mine) and I think I found it. Also since I went to NYC I have been getting a mani about every 2 weeks. This is my treat to myself. I deserve it. I am not using it as a reward for losing X amount of lbs. I have learned I don't respond well to that sort of motivation. Because, well, I usually get everything I need/want within reason of course. So my 1.5 month manicures have been wonderful. I have been getting black nail polish every single time as well, just because I like it. Also, I have been wearing my big-mama ring every single day since the start of the new year. It is a 9 carat sapphire I got as a graduation present from one of my aunts from undergrad 3 years ago. (When I got the ring it was tight, now it is almost too big!) The thing is huge and I have now made it MY signature piece. It's kind of funny because after I started wearing it all the time a co-worker bought a big ring and subsequently has been painting her nails black. I am sort of flattered. Doing these 2 small things make me feel great about myself. Nail polish and a ring make me feel beautiful.
I leave for my cruise tomorrow. If I don't come back, I've run off with John Mayer ;) Have a great weekend everyone!

That's a good looking hand... I've been doing the black thing lately myself.
Maybe a "signature piece" will be my gift when this weight-loss thing has been kicked. I like it.
I had a pedi yesterday, and it was amazing. My ring toe on my left toe is sore (I don't remember anything hurting), but they sure are purty!
Have an awesome time on your cruise! I'll miss you!
give johnny a big smooch for me!

when pumping yourself up, having a "signature-something" is a "Definate DO"

Black nailpolish is where its AT! your bling is absolutely beautiful, and you wear it well!
