Last month I took part in Linda’s Stream of Consciousness for the first time. I enjoyed it so much I have decided to keep on going with it! Today’s prompt is ‘finger.’
I have got quite chunky fingers which to me are not that attractive. I have always loved long nails since I was a child and took some time to ensure that they were always well-manicured and looked pretty; I imagine it was to make up for the chubby fingers!
I also love rings. A girl has got to have a bit of sparkle and I used to wear nearly every one I owned at the same time! This meant that nearly every finger was adorned with at least one ring, if not two! Again, I think this was to make up for the clunky fingers, as at least they looked pretty (well, to me at least)!
Then I got involved in nursing. No long nails and definitely no nail varnish! Oh, and not only that, only one plain ring allowed. Not a bit of sparkle to be seen. My poor hands. already like shovels were now naked and exposed!
Great post! My hands and fingers are awful too as I get such dryness… and it’s made them look old…despite lots of creams, lotions and potions!

Wow, another thing we have in common. I tried to grow my nails for decades. But they broke all the time …. or only some broke. When I started with massages I had to have them trimmed which was very relaxing since I did not have the stress anymore to care for their growth. Of course no nail polish! I don’t like how my hands look anyway. But therefore, I love to paint my foot nails for summer!

Yes, I paint my toe nails as they are extremely ugly!
Yes, it is less stressful worrying about getting them all to the same length without one or two breaking! 🙂

Hi Judy, you should have posted a photo, so we could decide about your fingers 🙂 I admire long nails and rings, but not on myself, my nails are short and only the wedding ring and band.

Oh my goodness. I am laughing as well. My fingers are as chubby as my dad’s and I wrote about that. I wanted dainty ones like my mom’s own but no such luck. I love rings though I no longer wear as many sparkles as I did when I was younger.

Thanks for the pic! Your fingers are NOT chunky, they are strong, I’m sure when people look at them they see a strong woman behind those fingers. And your nails are gorgeous, you don’t need nail polish.

Welcome Judy. After reading your post I remembered that the nurse that helped me clean up, after I had one of my kids, had long and blue colour nails, I could see the strong colour behind the gloves. I was impressed that a nurse would have such nails, she realized it, and told me she had a party to go later on. Interesting, I’ve forgotten which deliver was that, but I couldn’t forget the nails 🙂

Pretty nails do make an impression. It’s funny how it stays with us when something is a little out of the ordinary! 🙂

My hands look terrible this time of year. I wash them often because of working with the animals, but it doesn’t seem to matter how much lotion I use. My hands are still dry and chapped.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
