You nailed it!
This has always been an expression of celebration for me. An ah-ha! moment. You got it! 100%! It’s all you! Like that.
Then an alternate meaning came along to wreck the whole thing. Should I wonder why “nailing” and “screwing” someone measure out to the same thing? Is there something about construction that screams sex? ‘Cause nothing says sexy like a hardware store, I suppose.
I’ve started getting texts from the salon that did my nails once and I have to say I haven’t been swayed. Are my feet a mess? Oh yeah, but having well appointed toenails doesn’t even crack my top fifty priorities right now.
You know what does? Nailing this election cycle. Period.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “nail.” Use it as a noun or a verb. Have fun!

Loved the stream of consciousness here.

I love the luxury of a good pedicure, but nope, not now. Hard to keep a proper social distance in those circumstances. I can still reach my toes to polish the nails, and the massage stuff is just going to have to wait. I will say if I could move voting to today, I’d do it in a heartbeat! We need to get through this.

Agreed. I’d like to see mail in voting offered to anyone so everyone can vote without risk.

I’m with you and well appointed nails aren’t high in priority. Nailing this election cycle though is tops for sure.

I plan to work harder this year than I ever have before. We have seriously got to get this man out of our House.

I would love to get my nails done but now isn’t the time! At least not for a sensible person.

Absolutely. My barometer tends to be “is it worth dying for?” Very few things meet that condition.

This is my test, too. And even, is it worth getting really sick for? Do I want to be sick as a dog for a month, lying there thinking about how I got that way because I had to get my hair done or go to the gym? Nope.

Absolutely. I find framing the question that way makes the insignificant things crystal clear. 🙂

This made me smile. I’ve started getting a regular email from a new local business about hand and feet manicures. Very bizarre. Are my feet that bad. I know I look like a hobbit but really.

So I guess that means there’s a committee reporting hobbit feet to the local business for outreach… 😆
