Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

I arrived a day early for recruiting so I thought I'd use some of this free time for me time!  I found a nail place and since it's been about 2 years since I've had my nails done I thought I would give it a shot.  Unfortunately, I am a nail biter so having my nails done means getting nails put on.  I've always done the french manicure look..the 3 times I've gotten them done in my life...so I wanted to try something new.

Oh, and I'm recruiting this weekend...totally appropriate...right?
