This just in: It's still raining in the mid-Atlantic region.

I have black fingernails. This makes me extraordinarily giddy as I have wanted to paint my fingernails black for ages but I thought the color would make my short nails look terrible. I threw caution to the rain and slathered the polish on yesterday (took three tries and the application is still pretty bad) and I am quite pleased with the result. My fingers actually look longer than they did with flesh-colored or clear polishes.

I have boots!


I found these beauties at Target last month and knew I had to snatch them up that moment or regret missing out for the season. They are paired with brown tights, a denim skirt, a botanical-pattern-on-navy-background shirt and a dark cream cardigan. I'm dressed a little warmly for the outdoors, but I am perfectly comfortable in my ice box of a cube.

I want to add colorful tights to my fall wardrobe. Right now I have black, brown, and shades of grey tights, some with patterns. I see turquoise and raspberry and forest green, maybe even some gold if I'm feeling especially flashy. Then I'll just need to find the gumption to actually wear colorful legs.

And for our last story of the morning, I have started taking Lamictal. My new pshrink thinks this treatment will stabilize my mood swings. I am pleased that the list of side effects include loss of appetite and weight loss since I have been eating everything in sight for the past three weeks.

Those boots are to die for.

I love my gold tights.

Good black nail polish is hard to find, which means application tends to be streaky. A good base coat and light top coats between the layers helps smooth it all out.

Hopefully the new drugs will work quickly and in just the right amount.

The boots are pretty comfy, too. Just enough heel so I don't feel like my ankles are bending the wrong way but not so much heel that I feel like I'm wearing heels.

I may replace the Sally Hansen black polish with some OPI this evening. Part of the issue is that I have NO practice with painting my own nails since I've always bitten them. The braces are doing wonders for my nails. ;)
