Fingernails, Iced Tea, and Brownies

Prenatal Vitamins from being pregnant recently has enabled me to have some super long fingernails...
I have always been able to grow them, but my nails seem stronger and healthier than ever before. Well... I recently decided that sense my nails are so healthy, strong, and lets face it, beautiful, that I would paint my nails. I mulled over the color for days and kept going back and forth between two colors, a blue, or a bright pink, and then I ultimately went with a mauve at last minute. The deciding factor was that the mauve was fast drying, and with 2 kids, thats my kind of nail polish! So I painted them, and they are looking pretty good, until all of a sudden... they start breaking. I dont understand it, I thought the polish would make them harder to break, but it had quite the opposite effect. So then I start thinking about it... and just about everytime I have painted my fingernails in my life, that is what has happened. I do believe that somehow the polish kills my nails and makes them weak. So... I do believe that I should leave what God gave me alone and not try to spice things up with a little polish. Oh and did I mention that the mauve fingernail polish was my Maws, who by the way, was talking about Iced Tea while I was painting my nails, and it made me start thinking about how I cant make tea. Its the weirdest thing... I thought for the longest time, it was the brand i was buying... but its not. I can buy the exact same brand that anyone else buys and their tea is good, and mine tastes like discustingness. I dont exactly know what I am doing wrong. I boil the water, put the tea bags in, add sugar and ice... and viola...NOT! I have added more sugar, not added enough, tried more tea bags, tried less, I DO NOT get it. Soooo I gave up... McDonalds makes some pretty good tea, so when i have a good craving for it, i just fork up the cash, its better than loosing my mind trying to figure this tea thing out. And speaking of not being able to make stuff.... I have never been able to make brownies. The instructions are clearly on the box... but for some reason... my brownies are always hard as a rock, except the one time when i cooked them for 3 hours and they would not get done, they was so runny! I have wasted a lot of my time attempting to make brownies. Its sad when your younger brother has to make brownies for you, but I dont mind.... he makes the best! OHHH which reminds me of the time I tried to make dirt, but that is a story that should be saved for a rainy day.
