Feminine



Today, I have been doing some very important research. The topic: can I paint a baby's fingernails?
I already know I can do toenails. (yawn) I have been doing that since she came home at less than 5 pounds. It is more challenging now, because she KICKS all the time, and yet less challenging because her toenails are actually visible.

What I have discovered: everybody has opinions and nobody knows anything. One comment I read said, "You should just get a Barbie!" Sheesh. And the general consensus is. no, you shouldn't paint them because you know, chemicals when she puts her hands in her mouth and so on. Which, duh. I have thought of that. But then I think, how many pounds of nail polish have I consumed in my life, biting the ol' metacarpal covers? Food for thought. (that was for you, Josh)

And okay, so she is tiny, and thus, the nail polish:person ratio is different. And I probably couldn't get it on her anyway. So I won't do it. But, since I have 30+ minutes to kill before my mommy lunch, why not read up?

And ear piercing.... maybe I should get a Barbie.

"Food for thought" was for me?

I think I use to say that sometimes.

"Food for thought".... what a dumb phrase.

how do you know when mayonnaise on your sandwich is bad?

how does one know when sour cream goes bad?
does it go sweet?
does it turn green?
mayo usually keeps sandwiches from going 'bad' because of the high acid or something in it
unless the mayo was crusty & green with fuzzy stuff growing on it when you smeared it on your sandwich i would bet that the mayo is still just fine
eat away
but really . . .
when does sour cream go bad?
this is a dilemma for some.

little b is so cute
perhaps she wants to be natural like hippie chicks in times of yore
sew some colorful beads on a cool hippie-like vest or better yet do some embroidery on her jeans
and place a flower in her hair
(i recommend a daisy)
