Blue Dots and Buffet Shirts

Remember yesterday? Practicing for my Colts manicure?

That's the left hand. You're not going to be seeing the right one. It looks like a preschool art project.

I elected to quit while I was ahead and just make dots on the rest of my nails.

Valuable lesson learned by this project: TOP COAT REQUIRED. Our student worker came in my office today and said, "You have a blue dot on your forehead. It almost looks like it's from your nails."

Sure enough! One had come off and was resting happily on my forehead. I lost three more throughout the day. WOOPS. So I've now added the topcoat and am hoping for the best.

Today I also purchased my Super Bowl shirt. I have to say I was really disappointed in the selection available. I remember the last time the Colts went to the Super Bowl, Wal-Mart cleared its main aisle to put up racks and racks of shirts - all sizes, all designs, all prices. This time, after looking through both Meijer and Wal-Mart (which didn't take long since they each had about 2 small racks of shirts), I came away with a "Go Blue" shirt that is a medium.

Men's medium, that is.

We can wear them to work tomorrow, they said, as long as we don't wear jeans.

I asked my boss if I could just add a belt and wear it for a dress. After all - that doesn't break the jeans rule. :)

So I've simply dubbed the shirt, "the buffet shirt." I will not have to suck in after the party on Sunday! Room to grow!
