My hands are so chewed up :-)

I used to spend a whole lot of time on my nails.
I used to have a collection of really cool nailpolish.
Glitteries, sparklies, color-shifts, and a few professional, pale colors.
I used to carry nail polish with me to touch up my nails.
I could even do my own French manicure -- freehand.

For the past two years, though, I've used drugstore clippers and try hard to remember to use hand lotion.

I'm not quite used to looking at my hands, but I'm not embarassed by them.
These hands are attached to a much happier person than the manicured ones were.
