Modern Caveman has his holiday party tomorrow. I miraculously found something to wear weeks ago but the mani/pedi need to happen today.
Problem: What to do with Fugly Betty toenail?
The blood blisters that encompassed her post-marathon are long gone but she’s still hanging on, black/purple and nasty as ever. But I can’t risk losing her entirely at a professional pedicure…I guess I’ll go with my usual “Sangria” polish and try my best to keep her under the table.
Fugly Betty toenail has a history of making sordid public scenes. The last time she decided to fall off in the middle of a Pilates class. We were on our mats doing “the hundred” when I noticed her extending and retracting. A mere touch and to my horror and disgust she was off. Of course I had no pockets so I tucked her under my mat, thinking I’d dispose of her after class. Well I ended up rolling my mat and almost forgot about her entirely until, as I was heading back to get her, someone kicked Fugly Betty and she scooted across the floor…
Ok now that I’ve totally grossed you out tell me, what fun plans do you have this weekend?
A Big Thank You and Welcome to My Ship Mates
I am thrilled to see many new faces aboard the Follower’s Luxury Yacht lately. For that I am grateful. And since somebody has a birthday (like I need any more birthdays) coming up this month, I thought it would be nice to do a little Follower Appreciation Giveaway. So be warned, if you’re not already onboard, you may WANT TO BE. It’s coming soon!
Thanks for the laugh!!! I also know what it is like having runner's fugly toenails on a yoga mat.:-)
That is hilarious and disgusting at the same time! Have a great time this weekend! Our family is going to the Christmas parade they have downtown. It is gorgeous this time of the year with all of the lights!
Ha ha! I just found your blog through Tall Mom's and I've decided to follow you just because this post made me laugh.
I've yet to lose a toenail but my husband does and he (very unfortunately for me) lost one when was half asleep in bed one night and it snagged on the covers. Well, he was SO tired that he couldn't be bothered to get out of bed and dispose of it and I was lucky enough to find it sitting on the bedside table the next morning! Grody!
Happy soon-to-be birthday. I'm a December baby, too!
Silly toenails have a mind of their own.
Sport your nekkid toe with pride! But if you don't want to, then nail polish is the way to go, for sure. (I even "painted" it on my nekkid toe once).
Have a great weekend!
ewww! hahaha.
elliot and i are taking our vermont vacation getaway this weekend!!! hooray!!
My toenail fell off while I was conferencing with a student once. I honestly didn't know what to do, nor do I remember one owrd of that conference…
I am a member of the Lovely toenail club too. Yuck! It's a rite of passage for runners I think. Your experince is both funny and gross at the same time!
Happy December Birthday!!
you have just put enough disgusting personal information out onto the web to make it into my google reader. have a good weekend, enjoy the holiday party!
Ha! Yup, I go w/the dark nail polish or closed-toe shoes. My toe nails are so often gross — it is a losing battle.
Have fun!
So disgusting and so funny! Your story cracked me up!
ewwwwwwwwww lol
