Woah. Where have I been?  You know, I’d like to tell you I’ve been busy doing something really cool, like singing in an 80s band or learning how to riverdance, or maybe something even less cool (but CLEARLY AND TOTALLY worthwhile), like dressing the cat up in little outfits and carrying him in a purse through the grocery store.  But seriously, do you even know whose blog you’re reading right now?  Certainly not the blog of a person who goes and “does stuff” for a living, I’ll tell you that much.  YOU GUYS.  It’s me!  And y’all know damn well I’ve been laying on this couch for the past 12 days in the most extreme display of pajamas you EVER did see.

Polish Pickup March 2018: Books

Time once again for everyone’s favorite Polish Emergency cuz the March Polish Pickup is coming y’all!  Annnnd, YOU GUYS … We got us a good one.  This month’s theme is Books and I am the happiest of all things happy.  Books, gloriously smiling-to-myself-like-an-idiot BOOKS.  My first love, my best friend, the whole reason it takes me three hours to drink one tiny wine cooler.  Cuz while all the cooler kids went to parties, I read books like it was my dadgum job and quite honestly – I got the better end of the deal.  I mean, the fact I have no idea how to sip a shot of Jagermeister without holding my pinky up like a fancy lady is beside the freaking point.

Polish Pickup February 2018: Sugar Rush

Time for everyone’s favorite Polish Emergency cuz the February Polish Pickup is coming y’all!  I’m doing things a little different this month as I haven’t had much free time for swatching and blogging like normal (or even lounging about on couches, which is quite possibly the lamest thing ever written).  Work has been very needy lately, what with all the people wanting their tax forms prepared in a timely manner (i.e., most ideal scenario) as opposed to the feet up, desk napping, procrasinating thing I’d rather do.   Ugh.  Fiiiine.  But I swear, if bonus points aren’t headed my way after this .. welllll .. where is Leonardo DiCaprio when you need him?  (SERIOUSLY, WHERE IS HE?)

YOU GUYS.  We did it.  ON TIME AND EVERYTHING.  Seriously, whose blog is this cuz it’s certainly not mine.  Cuz only a superhuman can write TWELVE blogs back to back to back and somehow get them posted BEFORE all the nail polish goes away.  Soooo, on the off-chance this is my blog after all, well then who’s the Queen of the Carpal Tunnel, hmmm?  I mean, I’m not saying it’s me, butttt … it’s probably me.  Are bonus points coming?  Only about a trillion, pretttty sure.

A quick blog for you tonight, so we’re gonna jump right in with some things.  The Polish Pickup is inching ever so close, and I am determined to get all these blogs done BEFORE the sale starts (as in, ideal scenario).  So even though I’m just tossing out pictures and not saying words, pretending like I ain’t a huge drool-y mess and this is all NO BIG DEAL, let me assure you:  it’s basically the BIGGEST big deal that you ever did see and I’ve got a thousand drool buckets here to prove it.  But since we don’t have 18 years to just hang out in here reading things today, it’s onto the polish sans-fanfare we go. Weeee!

Anchor & Heart Lacquer: Polish Pickup January 2018

Cooking is not the same as riding a bicycle:  if you don’t do it often, you forget how altogether – and quite SPECTACULARLY if you want my opinion. Let’s just say – completely random example of course – you get married to a chef and pretty quickly get relegated to 1,825 days worth of dish duty cuz of the ONE TIME it took 15 years to cut an onion. And then let’s say that husband goes to work on New Year’s Eve and leaves you alone to fend for yourself (i.e., nightmare scenario) and you decide to make a casserole (with Dorito crumb topping!) cuz we like it effortless ’round here.  So far so good, except … wellll, sometimes things ensue (again, LET’S JUST SAY).

Who else is spending New Year’s Eve wearing pajamas and blogging about nail polish?  Damn near NO ONE, pretttty sure.  If y’all thought I’d be out doing something exciting and/or less incredibly sad, wellll … you’ve read this blog before right?  I mean, there’s a 97.46867% chance I’ve been sipping on the same wine cooler for the past 3 hours.  Annnnd, I might’ve strategically measured out 17 Ruffles and one tiny, depressing serving of French Onion dip cuz clearly I know how to party.  Seriously, WHO WANTS MY LIFE?  It comes with an extraordinary amount of nail polish, a hubby who makes sandwiches and a whoooole lotta nerd points.  Actually, who just wants the nerd points, cuz I’m keeping all the rest.  SANDWICHES, guys.  They just appear out of nowhere around here.

Pretty Jelly: Polish Pickup January 2018

Just because we left two family size tubs of French Onion dip intended for mom’s Christmas party in the fridge (and effectively ruined said party if you want my opinion) and then had to buy gigantic bags of potato chips today so the dip wouldn’t go to waste DOES NOT mean I had a plan this whole time to sabotage the party and have an excuse to eat the chips and dip all by myself. I mean, it only seems suspicious. Cuz I’ve spent a great part of my life with my hand stuck inside a chip bag, and if it somehow wasn’t in a chip bag, well clearly that me wasn’t me but an imposter me and the real me had been kidnapped cuz that scenario seemed far more likely. But this time, I swear I behaved. Which might possibly be the saddest thing I’ve ever written.

We’re over halfway done with this Polish Pickup blogging thing and the sale doesn’t even start for 7 whooooole days.  Who’s overachieve-y?  I’m overachieve-y!  But I’ll be honest:  it’s slipping fast.  My mother-in-law got me a heated throw blanket for Christmas and I’ve legit been under that thing for about 96 hours straight.  And pulling my arms out just so I can type a blog is proving to be nigh on impossible.  Behind the scenes tidbit, guys:  I’ve spent the past three days writing this paragraph.  NOT A TYPO.  If we somehow miraculously make it to the end of this one, it’d be a dadgum miracle.

Jumping right into the polish tonight, as I’ve wasted enough time being lounge-y for the past few days.  Well, not lounge-y lounge-y cuz I definitely had clothes on more often than not.  And I went to an aquarium on Christmas Eve (i.e., nightmare scenario) and lost my grandchildren about 27,000 separate times.  But my point – there is a point, I swear it, guys – is that I wasn’t blogging that much.  I lounged but in the most un-lounge-y way possible.  And effectively created about 7,397 Polish Emergencies for myself.  So here we are, back at it.  Attempt #6 at telling you about things before the things are no longer the things.  Let us focus, shall we?  We shall!
