Getting Nails Done

          As most of you know I am more tomboy then I am a girly girl. More country then rich but then I count myself rich when I'm in the country. I was getting my hair trimmed at a salon this morning and a thought came to be that I haven't thought about in forever. It was a thought that I needed because maybe it will help me through this time of confusion. I thought about getting my fingernails and toenails done to make me feel a little bit better. It's a girl thing and the girls will understand. It is also like I have no one to make me feel special do I'm going to do that myself. I need it every great once in awhile and it has been awhile.
         What I was thinking about was the last time I got my nails done and that was with some very, important friends of mine on a shopping trip during the summer. I remember my mom being in shock when she came to pick me up because it was something I would never do but it was a fun time with this friend. I was thinking about how special and get it felt just to get away from everything for about a hour or two and just please myself instead of everyone like I tend to do.
          I remember it like it was yesterday but really it was like 8 or 10 years ago maybe longer. I think it was also a way secretly for my friend to tell me to stop biting my nails because she didn't like that I did that either. I remember that the color I had picked was a pearly, white color. The person doing my nails just cleaned and painted them because she couldn't do too much because I had no nails to work with. The polish lasted for about a week and a half. We did go school shopping afterwards or before. Don't quite remember when but it was during our annually shopping trip.
          Life is not perfect right now and getting my hair cut at the salon just made me think how I need to set up an appointment to get that done again just for me and to relax. It is funny because it brought me back to a time in my country life that I never thought I would remember but I do. It made this country girl feel cared for and relaxed because it was something new and something I had never done before. It was a new experience for me.
           It could also be an example of how I love to experience new things and I should just go for it on some things. That experience was fun but the problem is it wasn't has life changing as some of them I have to make now. I was a little, country girl having fun back then and now I'm adult that has to make her own choices. Not only that I live in the city in AR, which I never thought I would do. A lot of my life as been things I never thought but that is what life is, right? It keeps being those unexpected things. I just wish that some days I could go back to being that little, country girl that's on the farm with her fingernails painted. This is my forever dream!
