I redid my nails last night and I’m pretty pleased with the results.

I took Sally Hansen’s Commander in Chic polish and put on two coats.

I used the Konad stamping plate #M24 for the stamp.

I’m surprised at how good it looked and I hope it lasts as long as my last manicure.

We Just Adopted Lucy

Filed under: Lucy,Our Pets — Laura Moncur @ 5:14 pm

We went to the Downtown Farmers Market to find Armenian cucumbers and we ended up with a kitten.

Laura and Lucy 07-14-12

She looks so much like Maggie and is a very snuggly kitten, so I immediately love her. I had no choice. She’s three months old, so that would make her birthday April 14, 2012.

Elvis has spent all his time stalking her and hissing. Nina has just avoided her as much as she could. I’m sure she’ll fit in this household just fine, she just needs to find her place.

This Bob Ross Remix Brought A Tear To My Eye

Filed under: Personal History — Laura Moncur @ 11:44 am

Anyone who ever loved Bob Ross will absolutely ADORE this video:

Bob Ross is one of those people who helped me through tremendously hard times. Every Saturday morning on Channel 7, I could depend on his calm voice and positive outlook to get me through the hard week. I am so grateful that he was on television when I needed him.
