Your husband wil paint your toenails for you…and you’re not pregnant.
I got my nails done at lunch Friday. Since I’m in between new sets (meaning: to make them last I’m opting for color insead of the highly fashionable white tips that are most popular) I chose a red polish. I got a pedicure a two weeks ago, for the girls pool birthday party, but now my toe paint is chipping and since we were heading to Palm Springs my toenails needed tending to. Without additional cost, and tip, to the Vietnamese man who does a spectacular job bi-weekly, I chose to do them at home.
Thursday night while Mister and I sat down to watch Miami Ink, one of his favorite shows, I asked him to please paint my toe nails. The bit of the typical Mister protest he put forth was not only required but expected (he’s a man for gawds sake and can’t give in THAT easily). No sexual favors were promised in exchange. All I said was Please, Honey, you know I suck with red polish and we’re going to be at the pool all weekend. *batting my beautiful eyelashes* Then with the sigh he replied Get my glasses. (Yay!) He slapped on his glasses, brightened the living room light, pulled my legs across his belly and began painting them the perfect red that’ll match my freshly painted nails, Garnet Red.
Have I told you lately that I love him?

What a great hubby you got there… He’s a keeper!
I’ve been doing my toes for the last 6 months. I’m saving $50.00 a month.

Awwwww that is too cute. I’ve been with hubby for a long time (17 years) and he has NEVER done that. Not that I want him too anyway… Well, maybe just once…lol.. I paint my toes myself. I don’t like anyone messing with my feet.

I am GREEN with envy! I’m 45 years old, and have NEVER been able to finagle a man into painting my toe-nails. Nothing, and I mean *nothing* has worked.
I generally paint my own toenails, but I worry…as I age, I can’t see the details like I used to. I’ll someday be that crazy lady with the lipstick on her chin, and her entire toe covered in red polish.

My husband paints my toe nails all the time. If he didn’t they wouldn’t get done. He must like painted toe nails

What a sweetie!!
Exhole always refused to do my nails. The joy of living with a girl means it will be done whenever I ask!
