[PhaylennMurúch]

It's a finfun custom tail, something to swim in until I can afford a fancy one

I'm so freaking excited!!!

[CowgirlMermaid]

Congrats!
I know how you feel, I was like that too last week, till my tail arrived today. Happy waiting and after that, Happy Swimming!

[Mermaid Saoirse]

Congrats on getting your first tail ordered! i hope you have a wonderful time swimming in it. The first tail is always an exciting thing! :)

[AniaR]

congrats. It's a wonderful feeling!

[Cerulean]

Congrats! I ordered one a couple months ago and it took about three days to get to southern cali so you should be getting yours soon

[PhaylennMurúch]

pacing pacing pacing, I wish they wouldn't give me a track number if usps doesn't care to update. it said it was supposed to be delivered today but it hasn't left Idaho according to usps.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Huzzah! Another Fin Fun mermaid! What color did you get?

[PhaylennMurúch]

Caribbean blue

getting super antsy, it was shipped 2 day mail on the 14th and according the the tracking number it's still in Idaho. I'm gonna start pouting like one of my kids soon

[deepblue]

Eee that would drive me nuts!

I'm excited for you though- and it's going to look so pretty with your hair. :)

[PhaylennMurúch]

I may or may not have nearly tackled the mailman whilst emitting a very high pitched squeal

Did you break tvs like the scene in Splash? :D

It's lovely, Phaylenn! I love it.

[PhaylennMurúch]

lol no but my boys did laugh like hell when I fell off the couch while putting the monofin on, does that count?

[Mermaid Saoirse]

The tail looks amazing! No doubt you're going to get a lot of good swims from it. :)

Out of curiosity, is your username Gaelic in origin? I recognize Murúch, but not the first half of it. If so, it's awesome to see another mer with a Gaelic Mersona name on here. :D

[Vrindavana Starfish]

Do we have Irish speakers here?! My Irish is terribad, but I love it! PhaylennMúrich, your tail is so cool! Gratz!

[PhaylennMurúch]

Phaylenn is my own feminizing take on the word Phalen which is Gaelic for wolf. I'm ScotsIrish so I felt that my mersona should be similar

I have minimal Irish Gaelic but Rosetta Stone is slowly changing that

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Cool! You'll be one very sparkly mermaid!

That's really awesome! Though I was born in America I'm largely of Scottish descent. :3 I'm trying to use my Mersona as a way to better connect with that part of me. Sadly I don't have the time to devote to learning Gaelic, but I have a cousin in Scotland who's been learning it. :)

When do you think you might be able to test your new tail? It should look awesome in the water! :D The pattern will definitely be eye-catching.

[Vrindavana Starfish]

Wait, when did Rosetta Stone have Irish? I've been waiting for that for years! I took Irish in grad school, and got to where I was very good at translations of old texts, I'm not-so-good at conversations.

And I second "when do we see your new fin in the water?" I bet it's beautiful!

[PhaylennMurúch]

as soon as I can get someone to take pictures and video during a pool open swim
