Auf Wiedersehen, Good night, Peace Out!
Sadly, Maggie’s need for balance in her life means saying goodbye to her Maggie Rants blog.

As I was repairing the smudge (Smudge? Who am I kidding? It was a giant GOUGE.) in my last client's nail tonight I had to assure her that she was not keeping me at the salon any later than I was scheduled to stay, since I had to write my blog after she left.
Naturally, this was the perfect set up to let her know that I actually am a famous nail tech — or at least infamous. So, in order to better explain just exactly what it is that I write, I looked up my very first post to this blog and read it aloud to her.
You know, that was a good post — even I was laughing at myself. But it made me think — am I keeping it fresh? Are you guys still entertained? Am I still telling you new stories and keeping current with what's going on out there in Nail-land?
I sure am trying!
