It was a good day today, although there is some potentially bad news. First, I noticed someone was selling Color Street nail strips at the yard sale yesterday for nearly half of what they go for online. So after exchanging messages about it, Tom and I went over there at 5:00 this afternoon. There I met Arlene and her daughter, Linda, and their friend Joey (a woman, even though she has a man's name) who also lives in the park. Linda doesn't live here, though. We sat out in their lanai and chatted for about a half hour.

Linda had a whole box of Color Street nails. She probably had close to 100 packs. Many were duplicates, though. Although they usually sell for about $14 online, she was selling most of them for $6 and some for $9. I got two of the $6 sets and one $9 set. They are absolutely stunning! They're easier to apply than regular strips, they last longer than regular strips, and also unlike regular strips, you can't just peel them off. It's like having an instant gel manicure. I learned that from the free set I once got for signing up for something.

I have Hiss and Make Up on now. It's a snake design with wavy multi-colored glittery stripes with a black background. The other two sets are silver glitter and purple glitter. The purple one has larger specs of glitter.

I shared a picture of my beautiful nails with the group and Linda told me to let her know if I ever want anymore. It doesn’t bother me, but it's kind of funny how many people misspell my name on Facebook, even though it's right there in front of them.

I guess Toni got one of the sets I got or something similar. These are so gorgeous that I put them on my big toes as well and then polished the rest with a color that matched. I'm going to have major nail damage, but it's worth it! I can't seem to polish or sticker up my nails for long before I get fungus. I still have the lacquer to fight it if need be. A little fungus won't kill me, but if it gets to the point where my nails are lifting and are sensitive, then I'll have to use the lacquer. I can always get more from my doctors if I need it.

So we chatted about this and that for a while. They want us to come to play bicycle bingo this Tuesday at the clubhouse. But as usual, that won't be a convenient time for me.

Now, for the potentially bad news. So much for thinking it would be a year or so before next door's house sold. It's gone to a divorced retired veteran. Irma says they're meeting with him on Tuesday and will find out if he has a motorcycle or a dog then. All she could tell me was that he seemed nice and drove an SUV. He's renting somewhere half an hour away and has a friend in the south section.

Also, so much for hoping for a single woman over there since they don't tend to be as noisy as the guys. Guys aren't usually as obsessed with appearance, though, so there may not be as many outdoor projects. At least I hope that's the case. The honker and the redneck are pretty obsessed with appearance after all. Motorcycles and dogs are my biggest concern right now. Two different houses had dogs barking out of their lanais when we passed them. The one that's four or five houses down, and then one a couple of houses from Arlene. If the guy has a dog, I swear I'm not gonna listen to that shit every time someone walks by!
