Sunday in June

The above pic contains 3 of my male offsprings, the kid in the suit is their cousins...this was taken at Sophie's wedding in January of this year.



Another beautiful June morning is in the making. It’s so amazing to be able to leave the windows open after the long cold winter. I’m getting acquainted with this new blogging site and wondering how it will unfold. I suppose it’s the normal things to be doing when faced with a new, unknown situation.

One thing that has me giggling is that instead of friends list it’s a followers list, isn’t this a little cultish????

Anywho, let’s see what has touched my world last week.

Downstairs’ tenant, bitching because she doesn’t have enough room to manoeuvre her new van in the parking lot. She use to have a small car, traded it in for a mini van and has difficulties parking it…she has the nerve to come and tell me that if I park my car at a certain place, she might hit it..My rhetorical question is ‘’ why must I pay because you decided to get a bigger vehicle?’’ She expects me to park my car under a huge tree, that tree has all kinds of shit falling off of, including bird poop…My thoughts to her were, if you hit my car darling, it will cost you!!!! So don’t make threats. Worst part is that she is one of my co worker, so I’m being civil, otherwise I would tell her to go fly a kite..

Nail polish is caca, there are chemical compounds in them that are very bad for your health and with sandal season upon us it’s the craze:

ACETONE: MAY CAUSE NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION
ETHYL METHATCRYLATE: LINKED TO EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRIATION
BENZENE: HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASE RISK FOR DEVELOPING AML LEUKEMIA
FORMALIN: (SINCE REMOVED BY MANY INTERNATIONAL BRANDS – MAY CAUSE ASTHMA-LIKE RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND CANCER IN HIGH OR PROLONG USAGE.
TOLUENE: (SINCE REMOVED BY MANY INTERNATIONAL BRANDS) –A SOLVENT WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DIZZINESS, HEADACHES, LIVER AND KIDNEY DAMAGE.

DIBUTYL PHTHALATE: (SINCE REMOVED BY MANY INTERNATIONAL BRANDS – LINKED TO EYE AND UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IRRITATION AND MAY BE TOXIC TO THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
METHYLENE CHLORIDE: BREATHING IN LARGE AMOUNTS CAN CAUSE FEELING OF UNSTEADINESS, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA. SKIN CONTACT WITH METHYLENE CHLORIDE CAUSES BURNING AND REDNESS

Now this is pretty scary if you ask me. I personally hardly use nail polish, I sometimes apply it to my toe nails during the summer, Running to take it off now. I know that this applies to extreme cases and I cannot imagine how these affect manicurists who spend their days working with these products…

Yesterday, I watched a movie on TV ‘’Mother’s Boys’’ starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Peter Gallagher, it was quite the thriller, a little far fetched but it was good entertainment for a Saturday night.

With this all said and done, I will plough ahead and enjoy my Sunday, cause tomorrow is Monday, yet again…

  1. As a licensed nail Tech i can say that the nail polish read out sounded like my book for OSHA! LOL
    They do make non-toxic nail polish Sylvie dear...it's all i can use considering my asthma. i also used non-acetone polish remover. however, i did have to use the very toxic and stinky supplies for doing a set of artificial nails.

    I think we skipped spring and went straight into HOLY CRAP it's HOT!! its been in the upper 90s and lower 100s this weekend. fabulous burn weather.

    Never seen that movie...but sounds interesting. i do love Jamie Lee Curtis. i like Peter Gallagher too, but i always find myself desperately wanting to do something about those unruly eyebrows of his! LOL

    ~hugs~

  2. Thank God!!! for non toxic nail products, it's just that not everybody is aware or cares about purchasing non toxic brands. Awareness is the best prevention.

    I'm glad someone somewhere is enjoying some nice weather, here it's just average, it's not air conditioner weather, that's for sure. Quite comfortable for sleeping.

    The movie dates back to 1994.. lol at doing something about Peter's eyebrows..lets tackle him and pluck his eyebrows, how's that. I love his blue eyes with his dark hair.
