Why Do I Even Try?

Short and sweet.

In an effort to feel young and hip, I had my fingernails cut short and painted that almost-black color that you see in all the magazines. You know the picture - young starlet with lots of bangles and braided bracelets clutches her Blackberry, Starbucks cup and keys......and you see The Nails front and center. Those are the nails that I have. I must say, I was pretty impressed with myself.

Then, as I was taking the tray off of Yancey's high chair yesterday, I jumped back in fright because I thought I'd seen a bug crawling across the tray. Turns out it was just one of my young and oh-so-hip fingernails in my line of vision as my hand moved.

Why do I even try?
