A Mash Up
1. This Saturday, my program says I’m supposed to run 20 minutes straight without stopping. Go home, program. You’re drunk.
2. I think I’m missing the omg ombre’ gene. Am I the only person on the planet who just…doesn’t get it? To each their own and all–but this is one trend you won’t ever see me intentionally rocking. I also believe it’ll be a trend that will have several generations from now going wtf?
3. Re-writes. A lot of you have been asking how they’re going–and I just…I love you for that. The fact that you all are so invested in this dream of mine just makes my heart so happy–and it keeps me moving forward on the days I’m tempted to burn the whole thing. They’re actually going well I think. It’s hard to judge your own work. We’re either overly critical (raises hand, totally guilty)-or we can’t see through the veil of our own work and think it’s amazing. Now, I’ve never been the latter (thanks, Creative Writing Workshops for ruining me)–but I think they’re going well. In comparison to the original draft, I see improvement. Let’s just hope the copy editor sees it the same way.
4. Is there really anything better than homemade guac?
5. I miss Scandal. I refuse to watch it while it’s on live TV because my nerves can’t handle the week long break between episodes. So I’m just a sitting duck waiting on season 3 to make it to Netflix. You know, when it’s finished airing. On the same note–J and I are anxiously waiting for Orange Is The New Black season 2. I know what we’ll be doing the week of my birthday! #partyanimals
6. I’m going to be lame and go ahead and post my Nail Files picture today. I got a lot of compliments on last week’s post–and I wanted to try something similar. I painted all but my ring fingers with W n’ W megalast in Through The Grapevine. The ring fingers I painted with Pure Ice Beware (you all know it’s my most favorite silver glitter ever). Then I mapped out the design with striping tape. I feel like I should say that again. I used striping tape. No way in h-e-double-hockeysticks are these shaky hands capable of painting a straight line.
Then I painted over the glitter and striping tape with one coat of the W n’ W polish. Immediately, I pulled off the striping tape with tweezers in the opposite order I placed them. And voila!
