Alright, I must confess. I went out in public wearing sandals without having given myself the first pedicure of the season. I know, I know, what was I thinking?!?!?! It's like I have broken the Girly Girl Code.
Now in my own defense, my naked toes don't look all that bad. My toes are clipped and filed on a regular basis. My cuticles could have used some work but it wasn't like the bank customer service representative was looking at my toes or anything. And it was really warm outside and I had some new capri pants on and full shoes were just not going to look as good as sandals. So, I think all in all it was just a minor offense.
And isn't the Code more a set of guidelines? (That is a Pirates of the Caribbean reference for all of you unpiratelike people.)
But in order to not break the Code on any serious level, it is my goal to give myself the first pedicure of the Season this week for sure. Now, I am sure that everyone can breath a sigh of relief. :)

50 Hours of Torture
It's official. I am dependant on the television and the internet. (I feel like I should be saying that at a 12 step program.)
I woke up on this past Saturday and my cable was not working. Since I use a cable modem, I was not only without my TV service but I was also without my internet. UGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
If you have ever had your cable go out you know that you don't get any stations. Whatever happened to antennas for your TVs? If I had had an antenna for the TV I am sure I could have at least gotten network stations. If I had known my cable was going to be out I would have saved watching my Netflix movies for Saturday instead of watching them on Friday night.
Now, I will admit that I watch a lot of TV but a good bit of the time the TV it is just background noise. So, the weekend was quiet and I felt like a boat without a rudder.
I tried to look on the bright side and thought of all the things I could get done while I was unencumbered with the ever present cable services. There was reading and cleaning and yard work and organizing and packing and who are we kidding - I wanted my TV and internet!!!!
It is amazing how you get used to certain things. I still had my computer; I just didn't have any internet. Five or so years ago that probably would not have been a problem but anymore I use the internet for just about everything, including file saving. Case in point - without TV and internet I though this would be a fine time to finally get around to perfecting my doggie cake recipes. Sounds like a good way to fill a Saturday afternoon when your cable is out, right? It would have been except the recipes I wanted to try were on the internet and I had only saved the web page in my Favorites list and never actually printed the recipes out.
I had also planned on listing a bunch of stuff on eBay this past weekend. Well, without my internet service that plan went out the window. As they say, the best laid plans . . .
Thankfully, I finally got my cable service back on Monday afternoon. (I won't tell you about my telephone conversations with the cable company. Let's just say that although I didn't swear at the cable company employees, I certainly thought a lot of swear words during our conversations.) So now I feel like a real 21st century person again. What did we ever do without cable and internet? Didn't they used to say that about electricity?
