Cherry Blossom Mickey

Again with the Disney stuff, I know!  Yeah, yeah, I’m a broken record.  But a busted clock is right twice a day, or something like that.  Besides, our little customized vacation booklet (for our vacation in six months’ time; Disney are masters of the slow jam tease) arrived today and I’m getting ex-ci-ted!  We made up a list this week of all of the food items/experiences we’d like to try on our next trip, and the somehow incomplete list is 46 items strong.  And one of those I have listed as “Eat everything at Epcot Food & Wine.”  So.

However, you needn’t worry too, too much about my dieting motivation in light of all this gorging talk – the Disney Force is still very strong with my workouts, as evidenced by this pre-workout shot of me in my favourite Turkey Leg varsity tee.  Yes, that is a lot of Stephen King on the shelf behind me – things you already knew. 😉

Anyhow, these cherry blossom nails with not-so-hidden Mickeys are in celebration of the fact that I may be able to stop griping about the other thing I’m always banging on about, and that’s the crap weather we have been, um, enjoying this protracted winter.  Because with temperatures predicted to be in the mid-teens this weekend, it looks like spring might actually be here to stay.  So cherry blossom season, just ever so slightly delayed.

I say that now, of course.  I mean, I’m sure it’ll snow in July or something, just to spite me.  Yes, just to spite ME, I’m sure. 😉

Awesome Blossom

Cherry blossoms, to be specific, although again, unseasonably warm temperatures notwithstanding, we’re still a long way off from the trees even beginning to think about blossoming.

Seriously, though, WHAT is up with the weather lately?  It’s so beautiful! And now I’m afraid that the more I call attention to it, the sooner it will end and we’ll be back to snow, so shutting up right the heck now!

Spring Blossoms

Ah, the ubiquitous cherry-blossom-over-mint nail art design.  Hard to escape ‘er at this time of year.  But it’s a classic for a reason – cherry blossoms are gorgeous, and they look beautiful scattered across a mint green base.  And besides, sometimes you just don’t feel like reinventing the wheel!

Cherry Blossoms

When I was a teenager I went to Washington, DC with my parents during the early Spring, did all the touristy stuff like visit the Smithsonian and walk the Mall, which was resplendent with blossoming pink cherry trees. It remains to this day one of the most beautiful natural sights I’ve ever seen. I suppose if I was to see one of those all-cherry tree parks in Japan doing their annual thing, my head would probably explode! These nails are inspired by those beautiful blossoming cherries.
