confession of guilt

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m 100% guilty. I got not only a manicure, but also a pedicure today. That’s right. I’m female. I have this thing called estrogen that sometimes overpowers me on days like today and forces me to go do things like get manicures. I found a nail salon and noticed that they had a special, so I went ahead and got a pedicure, too. It felt wonderful. My feet got a chance to soak in a spa and they were massaged and taken care of and look quite pretty now. Not only that, but my hands that are eternally dry and annoying to take care of look soft and pretty now. Yes, I look very feminine. Okay, time to get back to being the geek that I am below the exterior of femininity.

habits

We all form habits. They can be both good and bad. I know I have both. One of my habits is getting up in the morning and leaving to get to work just as Sean is waking up. So, I open the garage door and leave it open since he’ll be following behind me shortly. Yesterday was the first morning that Sean hasn’t been around in a while. In fact, since moving to the new house, I think it’s the first weekday morning that he hasn’t been around. Needless to say, I opened the garage door, started my car and left. The garage door stayed open. In fact, it stayed open all day until 9pm last night when I got home and realized what I’d done. *sigh* Thankfully, nothing had been stolen and one of our neighbors had kept an eye on it all day. I felt really stupid. So, this morning, I made extra careful to remember to close the garage door when I left the house. New habits can be so hard to form.
