OPI Lincoln Park After Midnight

It’s been a good week, for the most part.  It started out on Monday with a terrible case of food poisoning (ugh) which left me feeling slightly overwhelmed for much of the week.  I just hate getting behind.  I was laying on the bathroom floor thinking my goodness what a colossal waste of time.  But I guess that’s life.  A whole lot of One Tree Hill, an old favorite, got watched and that’s about it.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately.  About schedules.  Priorities.  And how to be productive.  I’ve felt a little like a hamster on a wheel the last few months, and I need to find a way to fix that.  I’ve relied heavily on my paper journal lately, jotting down ideas, dreaming out loud (so to speak), and generally drafting an ideal day.  My hope is that I’ll come up with a perfect recipe for success.  Trust me, when I do, you’ll be the first to know.
The hubs and I might attend the Nascar race tomorrow.  I’m fuzzy on the details (that happens when you only share minutes of conscious time together each day…), but I’m pretty sure there’s a suite involved.  I’m not much for watching cars make a bunch of left turns, but I am down for anything that involves food and booze.
I hope you all have a great weekend.  Thanks for hanging out this week!  I was particularly proud of some of my content this week.  If you haven’t had a chance to catch up and want the goods, be sure these out!
A few of my favorite posts from bloggers this week are:

  13. I adore that nail color being a big pan of purple and sparkly anything! I have the Linkin Park in the Dark color which is slightly darker but I think I prefer this one. Sorry to hear you were sick. Hope you get to catch up on everything this weekend!

  14. Obsessed with this nail color. I couldn't wait until Fall and I'm pretty sure I was wearing it in August. Oh well, I try to go against the grain whenever I get the chance. Have fun at NASCAR if you guys end up going. Can't wait to hear about it!

  15. Lincoln Park After Dark is the best color and this looks like it's sister! How beautiful! Trying to be productive is such a pain, isn't it?? I always make an endless list of things I want to accomplish and then I get too overwhelmed and don't want to accomplish anything. Hope you have a great weekend!

  17. There is really nothing like a paper journal!! Blogs are great but they only scratch a surface, it's nice to let everything out in a private journal. Did you go to the Nascar race? Suites at those sort of things are seriously the best because FOOD 🙂
