I Should Have Skipped Straight To The Manicure

1 Man cave_019J

This really can’t be THAT hard…all I need to do is pull this thingamabobby off, put the new one in its place and reconnect that doowhicky right there. Without breaking a nail! This is gonna be a snap! Now where is that spanner?

Sighs…four hours, three broken nails and about 264,329 swear words later, what WAS I thinking??? I don’t think the car will even be able to make left turns now 😦 I don’t drink beer and that hand cleaner is NEVER going to get all the gunk out from under my remaining seven fingernails. And I’m all out of bacon! What am I going to tell him? That I was trying to do him a favour and kind of made matters worse? What can I do to distract him so he doesn’t realise I kind of made things worse? AND invaded the Man Cave??

Yes! Sexy pose on the bonnet of the car! Maybe this will keep his mind off of the pile of spare parts I’ve swept under the back tires…

At least until he tries to work on the beast himself. But by then, I’ll have had time to escape for a much needed manicure and massage. With my status set to “Unavailable”, of course 😉

      *grins* I felt like I was becoming a fashion blogger, which I have tried to avoid since I began. Getting my hands dirty was just the ticket!

      Smart girl to hide the car, btw 😉

    Gawd Peeps, that’s what I thought you were, a fashion blogger?? All the pretty stuff you’ve been showing us… just saying! 😛

      lol well, I kinda love shopping, but I have never wanted to be JUST a fashion blogger. There are so many more who blog only fashion that are WAY better at it than I ever could be. What started as a blog for my photo studio has turned into a glimpse of my Second Life. So yeah, pretty stuff is gonna creep in a LOT!

      (btw, when I say “just a fashion blogger” I don’t mean to sound like it’s not a lot of hard work to be one. I know how hard it is, especially if you want to be a good one. What I meant was I don’t want that to be the main focus of my blog) 🙂

        I know exactly what you mean. I felt that I was becoming one, so I toned my blogging down quite a bit focusing more on improving my picture taking.

    attention grabbing title or what? Most people do not realise the work it takes to keep one’s pinkeys in tip top condition, do they? Off for a mani/pedi right now 🙂

    I always look like a hood ornament when I sit on the front of the car. *sigh*

Talk to me! (please? )
