laughter lines? talk to the hand!

what do your hands say about you? a not too close inspection of mine would suggest that I've just done the washing-up, I chew my nails to the quick, don't attend to my cuticles and haven't visited a manicurist in a long long time; it might also hint that I have just discovered the joys of hand cream. . .

yes, I'm finally of the age when I apply creams at bedtime (only to my hands at the moment) (mainly cos I've discovered this wonderful cream that smells so good it helps me fall asleep) (doesn't stop the bad dreams, but then one can't have everything); however, perhaps at some time I'll get around to my face. . . perhaps. . . I'm a hot-water wash-with-a-flannel splash-with-cold kind of girl, very simple, none of this cleansing/toning/moisturising anti-ageing nonsense that seems to obsess so many women: will my basic routine fair me well? only time will tell
.

anyhoo
.

back to the hand. . . X used to have a party trick, when he'd tell people's fortunes from the lines on their hands (perhaps he still has! who knows? not me. . .); last year I gave The Teen a "phrenology head" for xmas (before he settled on Art at Uni, he was thinking about Philosophy and Psychology)(does that explain why I gave him a phrenology head? do I care!), this year I'm giving him a "chirology hand", in the hope that his father will teach him some tricks which will help him in those first awkward moments of conversation with the ladies. . . (don't laugh - everyone needs a little help, don't they?)
.

before I wrapped it up*, I took a little look to refresh my memory

• my Head and Life lines join up which might suggest why I live in a world of mental confusion. . . or might not
• my Heart line goes off in a direction which might suggest that the person who designed the hand hadn't done enough research (on the other hand, perhaps I have a wayward heart) (which would explain a lot!)
• my Marriage line/s are indeed plural - two: one long and deep and one short and sharp (which would explain my relationship history, altho I only said 'I will' the once)
• the Line of Apollo which indicates a fortunate life, is strong - and hey! I'm still here, can't get much better than that, eh
• the Mount of Venus which reflects the presence or absence of qualities such as harmony, kindness, grace, charm, love and reflects our degree of physical and sexual health, sensuality and beauty, is firm and robust, as you'd expect, dear reader, from my good self (as long as one is referring to inner beauty)

(*and yes, I am that far ahead of Christmas!! wonders will never cease)

but, enough about me
what about you?

you don't have to tell me about your hands
I mean, it's all a little silly really!
noone believes this stuff, do they?

. . .because it's all a load of old cobblers. . .

whatever, have a great weekend, dear reader,
I hope you have warm mittens!
