[Sinful Colors: Let’s Talk]
All the rain?  Yeah.  I could do without it.  Puddles and little rivers every which way you turn.  This is me with my complaining pants on.  Sorry.  Or am I?
I will say this, Wednesday night, after a less than easy day at work, I came home to some less than convenient news which set me off on a huff.  It’s not a big deal J tried to tell me.  Don’t tell me it’s not a big deal, I said, It IS a big deal.  I grabbed the dog and headed out in the rain for a quick run.  Because man I needed it.  

While I was out, I realized he was right.  Compared to the things we’ve dealt with over the last few months, the thing that I was allowing to throw me into a tizzy was no big deal.

Perspective, friends.  
Anyway, every night at 8PM, my nose closes up.  Like clockwork.  What’s up with that?  My family will point fingers and laugh, but because of this little annoyance, I’ve been hitting the afrin every night.  Just one squirt, I promise.  I can quit any time I want!  I just refuse to try to sleep with a closed up nose.  I’m aware I’m probably perpetuating the issue.  Sigh.
Side note, as I’m typing this up on Thursday night, J is watching Home Alone 2.  I feel like I need pizza and a Christmas tree.  Christmas Eve traditions die hard, man.
Happy Friday.

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  1. I get huffy over things sometimes and it's always David to point out it actually is ok and why I shouldn't get worked up about it. Thank God for supportive and wise husbands, right? Do you use any essential oils? Because we've been so amazed at how peppermint oil takes away congestion so fast. Plus, it's natural so you can use it as often as you want. Happy Friday! I think the rain is slowing down today and stoping tomorrow?

  2. Sinful colors are my absolute favorite — and I love that one!! I wonder why our husbands always just know when something isn't that big a deal? Or maybe that's why we married them in the first place — they know how to ground us! Afrin is the greatest stuff on the planet! 🙂 Hope you have a good weekend!

  6. That color is just so gorgeous! Love it!!!! Isn't it funny how a run can clear your head and make you see perspective?! Chris is usually right about those things too. I hope you have a great weekend friend!

  7. I guess I need to get some of these sinful colors!
    I can relate to the disagreement you two had. That happens. Perspective really is everything.

  8. A good run will clear up all sorts of feelings.
    And you need some oils for that nose of yours. Afrin is good for a bit, but seriously, be careful!
    Have a great weekend dear!

  11. I get super addicted to Afrin too. I mean… I need to breathe right? Love that color and Sinful Colors in general since they are super cheap!

  12. This color is so stunning, I only have a few polishes from Sinful Colors, but they're great quality and so affordable too. A quick run or a walk in a fresh air always helps me out too whenever I get a little upset over something (taking a few deep breaths does the trick too sometimes) 🙂
