susandennisLJ quit posting instagrams for some mysterious reason and there were a couple I want to add for posterity.
This is my latest top. The polkadots are a woven (non stretch) and the rest is knit. It still needs sleeves and pockets and finishing but I love it. Love the colors and love the dinosaurs.
This is from last night. My favorite Mariner shirt is one I got years and years ago. I ordered it from a shop in Hawaii. I've never seen one like it and judging from the reactions I get at the ballpark, I'm not the only one.
But last night, a woman was shown to her seat at the table next to me. She looked up and said OH! My husband is wearing that very shirt!! Sure enough, in he comes ... my shirt twin. He was very cute about it. I think I got mine in 2005 and he thinks he got his in 2011-ish. He bought his in the same shop but he was actually there. I told him that they were no longer available and he was shocked so he sat right there and called the shop! He learned that, in fact, they haven't been available for years. They have them for Yankees and Red Sox and a few more teams but not the Mariners. It's a licensing thing.
The guy demanded a photo. He wanted to send it to my iPhone until I told him it was Android. He did not skip a beat 'I can do it the old fashioned way. What's your email?' He was as fast and sure on that iPhone as any teenager. I was impressed. The result is cute and a keeper.
My manicure from last Friday finally bit the dust. 5 days - not bad considering I did nothing (no top coat refresher). This time I used a base coat, 5 minutes between coats and I was very careful to make each coat even. We'll see.
Today's video broadcast of the game is on Facebook only and you have to log in to get it. So... I'm channeling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meowmensteen and listening to the radio broadcast. These players had a rain delay on Monday in Minneapolis so didn't get home until early Tuesday morning. Then an 11 inning game on Tuesday and an afternoon game today. I'll bet they sleep well tonight.
And speaking of which, I slept great last night and didn't wake up until 6:45. Usually by that time, I've had my swim and am finishing up breakfast. My tracker isn't happy but I sure am.

Date: 2018-05-17 06:25 am (UTC)Depending on how invested you are in the nails project, once upon a time I bought some UV-activated liquid top coat and a small UV light. Bought them at a beauty supply place but Amazon probably has them. The nails lasted 2-3 weeks.

Also, I had seen your "shirt twins" pic before, but it hadn't registered that it was a Mariners aloha shirt from Hawaii! I love my genuine aloha shirts, and I have some really sweet ones. The best is probably the one I got last winter in Honolulu that almost exactly matches the one my father got something like 53 years earlier on Maui. He was delighted!
