Bye, bye nails...

So, for the past few weeks, I've actually had "long" nails (for me, anyway). It's been really nice. I've been able to get a real manicure, do lots of filing which felt very girly, and I could even polish them myself because they were long enough where I wouldn't just end up with polish crusting up my hangnails.

But, as most things go...the nail era is over, I fear.

It starts with one snag, one chip, one flake and snowballs into total nail destruction. I knew it was over today when I didn't even try to save the ailing nail. Instead, I reverted back to familiar behavior. I bit. I peeled. And it was completely and utterly satisfying.

I just bit another one off - the right pinkie. That one was a real survivor, at one point even getting *gasp* TOO long, if that's even possible in my world. There are four left to go, and I know which one will be next.

Who knows...the nail era may return, but that remains to be seen.
