Check Out These Nails!

While in Las Vegas last weekend watching my son compete, I went to sit down and did a double take. A mom had nails like nothing I'd ever seen in person. I'd seen other peoples pictures online before but to see them in person was a little shocking.

I'm usually not a very bold person but found myself so overcome with the urge to take a picture of them that I actually asked her if I could...(normally I would just try to sneak one...lol.) Imagine my surprise  and embarrassment when she said, "NO, you can't." I felt stupid, and just repeated, "Oh, I can't?" She laughed at me and said, "I'm just kidding!" Then held them up for me.

I took the shot and then sat down to discuss them (=needing more info on the nails for this post.) She's been growing them out for 17 years. I asked her if they've ever broken and she said, "Oh yeah, I just glue them back on."

I couldn't imagine trying to function in your everyday life with nails like that. I mean, I think you'd leave yourself handicapped. How do you even put your pants on, button your shirt, wash dishes, etc? I didn't have the courage to get that personal with her...so I'll leave you with those thoughts too.

How about that for some nails?

American Idol-Who Goes Home?

CLICK HERE FOR 5/19/09 Prediction

Wow! That was a great show. This year probably has the most talent ever. So after last nights country show, the question is, "Who should go home?" My favorite of the night was Danny Gokey...that song always gets me. I wasn't very impressed with Scott McIntyre's performance, I don't think his voice is as strong as the other contestants. If they are basing it on voices only, I think he should go home tonight but people are very sympathetic to his disability.

The judges didn't like Michael Sarver last night, but I thought he was great. He should definitely receive a country contract with someone. Now about Adam Lambert's rendition of "Ring of Fire," it was kind of freaky, a little Goth/Nine Inch Nails vibe. This particular Johnny Cash song is "our" song (every couple has an anthem and this is ours.) So that middle eastern version was a little hard for us to get. But I have to admit, his voice is incredible, he's different (stands out) and he kind of looks like a young Elvis Presley. Before you say, "WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT," take a look. Watch when he sings...there's something that is really similar.

I loved Megan Joy Corkery...yes, I'm a fan of hers. She was even sick and did great. And what about Anoop Dog Desai? Last week I said he should've gone home...this week I loved him and I'm glad he's still in it.

So my prediction about who's going home tonight...Michael Sarver...but I'm hoping that he stays.
