Writer's Block

Dear Little Blog & Followers,

I know it has been a very long time since I've have posted anything and I feel bad. I have definitely missed blogging but every time I sit down to write something I don't know what to write about. My life has been kind of boring and a little depressing lately so I don't what to post my rants or be a downer. I can guarantee that my posts would be both of those and no one should have to read about my drama.

That being said I will keep this post brief. Hopefully someday soon my life will be less boring, a little more uplifting, and worth writing about. I have been doing a few things with my 101 in 1001 list so maybe I'll post an update soon.

Yours Always,
Jessy

The Nail Files 6/21/13

Well, let's see how long has it been since I've posted to The Nail Files...hmmm.... April 26th?!?!?!!! What the heck? I lost my umph for nail art for a little bit but let's see a few that I did do. :)

These first nails remind me of a Pop Star. The little stars are a stamp and the pink shatter is a Sally Hansen crackle polish.

 

 PAC-MAN!!! I have wanted to do these for so long. You would think that the little Pac-man dude would be easy but for some reason it took me forever. It may be because I am somewhat of a perfectionist...lol If you ever do this make sure to get some striping tape for the straight lines; it worked wonders!

 These ones were inspired by a shirt that I bought while I was in GA. The shirt is grey and black striped with a skull and a few hearts. I can't do little skulls so I figured just hearts would work. :) The pink on all of my nails is the new Sugar Coat from Sally Hansen, it's textured and so much fun! And I topped it all off with a matte top coat.

Now for my current nail design, Van Gogh's Starry Night. This is another one that I've wanted to do for a while and just haven't. I got the idea from Cute Polish's Video on YouTube.

Here's a close up of the thumb nail on my left hand. Yes, my LEFT hand. Please someone note this as the only week that my left hand will look more realistic than my right hand. :) YAY for impressionistic art!

 I hope you liked my nail designs. I can't wait to decide what to do next week! I got a pretty new holo polish while I was in GA too, so I may have to try that one out.

Quizzical Questions: Candy, Candy, Candy!!

Ok, so I have all sorts of chocolate in my office, this is a well known fact. My dear friend Peggy doesn't know how I can keep chocolate in my office and not eat it all. Truth be told I keep a stockpile mainly for my co-workers. It is known that if they ever need chocolate, there will always be some in my office waiting for for the much needed pick-me-up. I have come into work and will randomly find $5 bills in my desk, that's when I know that we need more chocolate. lol Don't get me wrong, I do eat the chocolate too. I have those days when I can't have enough chocolate but most of the time it goes untouched and waits patiently for my co-workers.

Well, I have discovered that there is one chocolate that won't last in my office...those would be Mini M&M's. I don't know what it is, but those are gone in a blink of an eye. It's a "now you see it, now you don't" trick, I just don't know how it happens. lol

That brings me to my quizzical question...What candy can you not resist and is eaten before you have a chance to blink?

Mini M&M Lover,
Jessy

I Need An Intervention

Hi, my name is Jessica, I am a professional procrastinator and I need an intervention.

Yes, when I say professional I really mean professional. If procrastination was an actual job, I would be CEO of the company. You know how I know this? By all of the things that are half done. For example...

I haven't posted a blog post in almost a month but I have 8 drafts that I am "in the process" of writing; so they are sitting there, waiting to be finished and posted.

I waited until the last week of my Spring classes to do all 4 of the honors projects that I should've been working on all semester. Luckily they weren't that hard and I did get them done.

I have a knitting project that has been half done for around 3 months. The really sad part is that it's a washcloth - which could be done in a couple hours, but instead it has sat there. 

In a year, I have only read 10 out of 100 books for my 101 in 1001 challenge. However I have started reading and am in the middle of about 4 or 5 books. One of them is Dracula which I started reading in October....*giant pause*...of 2011.

While we are talking about entertainment, I can't seem to finish most shows that I watch on Netflix. This could be more of an A.D.D. issue but I've been jumping back and forth between shows. I started watching Bones but I don't remember if I finished it. I started to re-watch LOST, skipped to watching Doctor Who and actually did re-watch all 6 seasons - at least that's one I finished. Then I started TWO new series I don't think I really got into either of them, so now I am re-watching Torchwood. Poor Buffy the Vampire Slayer got forgotten, long, long ago.

Probably one of the worst procrastinations would be the Christmas cards/gifts that I haven't sent yet. I jokingly tell myself that they will get Christmas in July this year. *big sigh - shakes head*

Ok last one, I am in the middle of putting together a wedding album. Doesn't sound too bad except for the fact that it's my own wedding album and I've been married for 9 years. *sighs and laughs at self*

Please, please tell me that I am not the only person who procrastinates like this!! For those of you who procrastinate (even though it may not be of my caliber) how do you make yourself finish all of your projects or do you?!

Your CEO of Procrastination,
Jessy
