fact that had I been sick at a different time, there would be no greater inconvenience. For now, I have no responsibilities, but four days from now I will be competing in figure skating on behalf of the U.S., and hopefully by then my weakened state will pass.

Going to the nail salon is a great experience. But if you like that experience imagine it in your own home. That dream you have just created has been made a reality in 2010.

This salon trip sparked the idea to make their own nails. “With over 300 nail wraps in an incredible variety of designs, you can customize, pair, and layer Jamberry nail wraps to create a look that’s all your…

Ice Skating And that’s how I broke my leg, just kidding, but I bruised it really badly, here’s the story behind that. was December 2014, my sister had discovered the “joy” of ice skating and was obsessed with it. She constantly asked my parents if her and her friends could go ice skating at the arena. I had never gone ice skating before and asked her one day if I could go with her and her friend Lucy.

The door slid open for him immediately and he left the room expecting her to follow, and she did. They twisted down corridors until they came to a room separated in the middle by glass. “Master Jiom,” said the woman whom he had contacted before. “I gathered Jesex, but I haven’t sent them out yet, because I was waiting for word from you─” “Yes, yes, Tamare, that was appropriate.” The men stood on the other side of the glass, a row of buttons in front of them. “Meg, I shall grant mercy, but…

Kel had a while before he was scheduled to work and knew that since Dixie was around, that if he was running late, she'd ensure he was covered.

"Before I drop you back at the Stanleys, would it be okay if we went to your apartment and talked? I won't have time otherwise…

My midnight black eight-year-old eyes stare intently at the tall man standing in front of me. He wears a purple and yellow striped shirt, a very unflattering color combination, with thick sand-tan cargo shorts, and piled on top of his head is a massive brown afro. Who is that?
