Tuesday Matinee


Not that I took off to see one,I became the matinee at the laundrymat(I know thats old school but thats what I call it). I went after work because I was too lazy sunday to go and dry my clothes,so Tuesday it was. I get there put my clothes in the dryer,get out my Ipod,my reading glasses and knitting. I plug up and start going into my zone when I see this woman out of the corner of my eye seeing what I was doing ,of course i just figured she would look and go moseying on her merry way like most folks do ,maybe even ask a question,but no,she sits down right across from me and starts looking,staring is a better word,maybe even entranced. She asked was I making a coat(sweater i'm sure is what she meant),I said yes and back to starting she went. She got up for a minute and came back with chips to eat while she stared. Another woman came over and said something in Spanish that I couldn't understand ,she walked away and a child came up that wasnt really impressed until she saw my nails and then she started to stare too. They both walked away and then an young boy came and sat down with a bag of fritos and you know the rest. lol

I think my nails are getting long now because just today I had two people say something,I was driving down the street on my route and some delivery men had the street blocked up but as I was manuvering my way around his truck he yelled "Nice Nails" I gave him a quick thank you and kept rolling. I was coming out of the store and this woman stopped me and had to see,She went into her story about how she wanted to grow her nails with no sucess and gave me a good day and went on about her merry way.

Well I guess I'll post gratuitous nail pictures until I get some of my knitting finished,I'm working on sweater 2 for Coach Jacksons girls. I'm sure they will be here soon if they aren't already here. And a pair of socks for me.
