Love having my nails done for my birthday too. <br /><br />Then I have an excuse to tell my husband why he has to do all the chores- "Sorry dear, just got my nails done. Can you do the dishes so I don't ruin the finish?"Kimberlee Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695299361596799423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-86689863593622087592012-12-18T08:33:56.450-07:002012-12-18T08:33:56.450-07:00Sarah-Mockingjay earrings...I love it.

Whenever I watch any movie or TV show, I analyze the actors to see if they're right for the future book of my movie. You know about my guitar songs for characters. And I have worn my Harry Potter Gryffindor scarf to HP book and movie releases. :-)Kathryn Purdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337488365098780737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-79745111361914675412012-12-13T08:47:50.336-07:002012-12-13T08:47:50.336-07:00T.

It's my favorite brand, b/c it rarely chips.<br /><br />But as far as the weirdo thing, I went to a sketchy, down-town tattoo shop, late one night, to hang out and pick the brains of a hard-core piercer/tattoo artist and his clients, just to get an idea of what kind of tattoos my character might get. To say my un-pierced, non-tattoo, loafer wearing, momma self stood out- is a bit of an understatement. But I have to say, almost everyone was receptive and nice to me. (Except for The Husband and the rest of my fam-when they found out what I did) They were pretty mad. And they all think I'm bananas anyway. Does, that um, count as weird?jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708353376256621965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-43243577015285141972012-12-13T05:41:04.470-07:002012-12-13T05:41:04.470-07:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
