Dumb birds and nail polish

tygatiSo, Sunday morning I get in to work and Kathy is hunting around for rubber gloves because a bird flew into the big front entrance windows and stunned itself and she wants to move it outside where it belongs. Apparently, it's the second bird that morning. (They like to sneak into the store to eat the bird seed sold in Garden and then can't find their way back outside) Shortly thereafter she gives up trying to pick it up because said bird has an inch-long beak and she's not going to risk it. Me being me, I wander over to look at the dazed and confused birdbrain. Yup, inch-long beak. I decide to gently prod birdy toward the doors with my shoe. Birdy takes this as an invitation.
Me: .... well, that works.
Brian: Hold still. *snaps picture*
Me: *awkwardly scoots out the door and attempts to shoo birdy off into some of the plants for sale*
Birdy: *aint moving*
Me: ..... *nudgeprods with other shoe until birdy dismounts*
Brian: We dub you the Bird Whisperer.
Kathy: *laughing helplessly in the background*
Yeah, that's how my morning went. :3
What's really funny is that the whole time I'm remembering my childhood where every year or so an idiot woodpecker would mistake our wood stove chimney for a tree and fly down inside it and have to be rescued. And by rescued I mean take half the stove pipe apart in order to get to the very sooty and pissed-off bird. Good times. Mom still has a picture of me doing this in my underwear in order to not get my clothes all sooty. ^^;;
And in nail-polish news...
Last week was purple and blue, fairly simple but pretty.
This was predominantly Zoya ZP509 Mimi, with a Wet n' Wild Fergie AO12 Dutchess for accent, and a bit of Sally Girl 812011 Over U and ORLY 40012 Love Each Other for extra sparkle.
Then I chipped it Saturday, so I did a quick two-tone for Sunday.
This is Zoya ZP492 Penny, and Zoya ZP548 Apple to create the copper patina look. <3 I've been dying for a copper because Talyafyredancer wears them so beautifully, but it really isn't my color as a general rule. Happily, the green 'patina' look balanced it out just enough that it doesn't look weird on my uber-paleness. ^__^ And my co-workers thought it was awesome because I work in Electrical around a bunch of copper wire so it was very fitting.
Today Dez is coming over and we're... going to do whatever. ^^; And maybe stop by the grocery store because I need more tea.
... yes, more. Shh.
