Sparkles and the Dreaded To-Do List

I'm enjoying a bit of time away from school - it's one of my guilty pleasures that I have time off in strange spots of the calendar since I'm at a year-round school.  My daughter is on the same schedule I am, and we've been having girl time, painting nails:
Check out the SPARKLES!  We'll see how long this lasts...  ;)
watching movies:
Love it!!  :)

    Hooray for track out!! Sparkle is also my favorite color. :)

    I've missed having you to banter with. I've been forced to leave a lot of thoughts unsaid with only the cats to listen. All 4 of them . . . . .

    You can probably tell I've been alone a lot from this comment post and from my post on TPT. My hair dresser won't know what hit her tomorrow. . . .
