While taking some time off from obsessing about myself, I decided use the time to better myself by doing the following:

Read Plate Tectonics: An Insider's History of the Modern Theory of the Earth. I was confused on the difference between continents, oceans floors, and islands and how they all fit together. If you really think about it, it is not a simple idea.

Got my hair colored. I decided against cutting it and just updated it with a variation on my brown-purple theme.

Read Three Hundred Years of Gravitation. The whole “what is land?” thing got me thinking about what is gravity. I am not sure I believe in gravity and this book did nothing to convince me of its existence. It could have something to do the fact that I did not understand any of it.

Read more of Home Comfort: The Art and Science of Keeping House, my new manual for life. I learned how to make a bed this week and the proper way to care for my linens. However, there were no suggestions on how to get Truck smell out of a silk comforter.

Read Tall, Dark and Texan and I am a better person for it.

Had my nails done.

Finally, I read Reliability Centered Maintenance and it changed my life. It is the kind of book once you start reading, you can’t put down. Highly recommend to all.

what color? french manicure? what is popular these days?

Should I be worried?

Having my nails done always makes me feel better. Do they match your hair?

I had them painted to sort of match my hair, but since the polish wore off. I chip my polish as a nervous habit.
