I'm boring predictable consistent!

I forgot to mention that the night before I ran my first 5K, I treated myself to a pedicure and manicure at Express Hair and Nails in Springfield. Oh, I just love that place! If I lived there, I think I would go quite often because of how great their prices are. And because they do such a nice job.

Anyway...

When I select a color, I always go for the red/burgundy shades. I just can't break out of the mold. As I looked at each shade, I turned the bottle upside down to read the name of the color. This often will give me a chuckle, and sometimes I'll pick out the shade based on the name. So I selected I'm Not Really a Waitress and asked the girl to use that color for both my pedicure and manicure.

Fast forward to this week on Tuesday.

I was walking into my bedroom, and for whatever reason my toe lunged towards the foot-board of my bed, and it chipped about 1/3 of the paint off of my first toe. I was heartbroken. The perfect pedicure that I knew had to last for a long time because I hardly ever get pedicures was ruined. Not to mention the weather was nice enough that I was going to wear flip flops to my son's soccer game that night, so I just had to think of something.

There wasn't enough time for me to redo all of my toesies, so I looked in my nail polish collection to see if there was something close enough to just get me through that night...just so I could cover that little section. I figured from a distance no one would be able to tell anyway.

As I put the color I found in my drawer over the ruined section, I came to a realization. The color was exactly the same. It was not an OPI color, it was actually an Avon color. But I had picked out two identical colors at two completely different times. This is my "repaired" first toe with two different colors...












And I decided it's not because I'm boring...

...or predictable...

...but it's because I'm just consistent!


How does that sound, Sonja? :o)
