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

The Nail Files 4/26/13

 

This week on The Nail Files....

I opted for something really easy. Pink, Purple Crackle, and Glitter three of my favorite things!! :)  I don't think I'd ever done pink and purple together but was feeling rather spunky this week, so there ya have it. lol 

 

Here's to already thinking about what to do for my nails next week, 

Jessy <3

101 Progress - Marpril

Marpril [mahr pruhl] 
   noun
     1. combination of the months March and April

   Origin: 
      April 2013; Jessyism


I thought that title needed a little description. Anyway... It's time for a 101 in 1001 update. I haven't posted since mid February so here we go! 

~ Learned the harmony for "We Are Young" as sung by the Glee Cast. I can only sing it with the Glee Cast version, but I can sing it nonetheless!
~ Got a Pen-pal!!! YAY!! So I am bad and never sent off my postcards to the ladies in Canada and Spain BUT, I have a new pen-pal who lives in the states! She's a blogger friend who is also doing the 101 Challenge. We both wanted pen-pals so Voila! Pen pals! lol We have both sent and received letters so that makes it completely official!  

~ Since I have a pen-pal that obviously means that I did send a letter, and it was to a new friend! :)
~ I helped Andy start up his new catering business (Officially started on April 1st)
~ I own 100, yes 100, bottles of nail polish! Half way there and it hasn't even been a year yet. Oh, I forsee more than 200 bottles by the time my 1001 days is up.
~ I have 306 pens/pencils for my collection.

Song of the Month:
February: Mood Rings by Relient K
March: Like a Prayer by Madonna I swear that woman followed me around on my shoulder for at least a month!! (btw...that music video is very bizarre)
April: Belle from Beauty and the Beast I have woke up with very random songs stuck in my head this month everything from Pop and CCM to songs from Disney movies.

P.S. I am still refusing to talk about my weight loss, and my reading goals. You can ask me about my weight loss goal AFTER my hubby's baking class. 

 

The Nail Files!

I think I am finally creeping out from behind the funk that I have been in; painting my nails is actually starting to be enjoyable again. YAY!! Man the things winter will do to you! lol

This weeks design was simple, fun, and cute! Those are my three favorite descriptive words. :) For this design I used another Sinful Colors polish, Dream On (Matte), a white polish, a black shatter, and NYC's Matte Me Crazy top coat. I haven't really done any matte designs before because shiny, glittery, nails make me happy, but I think the matte top coat is growing on me.

Anyway, here are two pictures of my nails from this week and before you ask, Yes that is the same color in both pictures. I know, it's crazy but true. The Dream On color really took on a chameleon's essence and drastically changed depending on the lighting. The top picture is what it looks like in the bottle, so the purple hue really threw me for a loop.

Your Nail Polish Lover,
Jessy <3

It's Okay

 

It's OKAY...

...that I haven't really started my honors projects yet (Yes that is plural).

...that my final for my psychology class is due next Thursday and I haven't started it either.

...to want a completely new wardrobe, but hate shopping for clothes.

...to always have to have something sweet after I eat lunch or dinner.

...that everything has to be even both proportionately and numerically.

 ...to be having a "Crystal withdraw", she lives in town but I haven't seen her in forever. I miss you Crystal!

I guess I'll stop while I have 6 listed, after-all I can't have just 7 items listed. LOL Does anyone else have any little quirks like that?
