brain fried

I was on call last night and didn't sleep much. It could have been worse (it can always be worse), but I only got about 3 hours. And since I was on call over the weekend, I had slated this afternoon for doing some errands that I should have gotten done this weekend but was on-call. And that was worse, so Sunday afternoon was scratched as well.

One of the things on my very important to do list was to get a pedicure. Yeah, yeah, big necessity. But seriously, I stand all day. I have got to take care of my feet. I don't want hag feet by the time I reach the tender age of 35. Because Lord knows I'm going to have hag hands -- I've got to protect something.

The problem of me being sleep deprived when I run errands is that I can't make a freaking decision. I make them all the time, but when I'm coming of a night of work, I can't make a call. About anything. Not a good place to be in when you have to pick a color from about 300 different bottles of nail polish. That took me about 10 minutes. I was still unhappy with my decision when I sat down in the chair and proceeded to have a discussion with the little Vietnamese girl about the color. We talked about a paler color, but she said she liked the one that I picked because it would go well with my skin tone. She was right.

Then she asked me if I wanted a flower. Only $5. At first I said no. Then I started thinking. Why the hell not? I'm not going to be able to pull off flowers on my toes when I'm old and haggy, so I'd better enjoy it now. So I told her I did want a flower. She giggled.

If any of you have ever been to one of those all Vietnamese nail salons, this youtube clip is a must. Hilarious. Because you know they talk about you.

How did it go with the socks? Did your Inner Dawn leave you alone? ;-)

I so badly need a pedicure, it's no longer funny. So, thanks for taking one for the team.

One other thought, at least you don't make BAD decisions when you're too tired to think. That's what I would do and I'd be hating myself all the way to the bank.

I went yesterday to have a mani/pedi and I swore they talked about me the whole time. Which is really ok, because I twittered it the whole time!
