OMG. I just walked away from chocolate ganache cake. CHOCOLATE GANACHE SUPREME CAKE!!!
I walked in and saw it on the table. And thought, oh, well I'll just have one little bite. But no, that will still make me feel like crap. I hate that feeling. That sugar rush gone bad...it's like a bad trip (I guess). I get irritable and super tired and I won't get any work done. But it tastes so goooood...
But so does 64 lbs lost. Might I add, there were brownie bites on the table too.

The color of the week is...
Dulce de leche (OPI)!!!
Not only is dulce de leche pure yumminess...it's yummy on your nails too! Okay, not the real stuff of course, but this gel color is neutral, simple, sleek, and classy.
It's almost like not wearing any! Except that your nails are much better protected of course.
I love this color in the regular polish. It goes on smoothly and dries pretty quickly. The gel is great too. This is not my favorite brand for gel, but I really wanted this color this time. Since it is light it may get dirty if you are as hard on your nails as I am, but a little alcohol swab will clean them right up.
Delicioso!

I'm not so good at this dating stuff
I'm good at lots of stuff. Lots of stuff. I can cook, I can clean, I can speak another language, I can fix most stuff. I, however, royally stink at dating. Don't get me wrong, I think I'm fun to be around...I'm funny and can make good conversation. I just stink at the other stuff. The waiting stuff. The oh crap he's moved on to someone else stuff. Or the why won't he call me back stuff. I have to keep in mind that if God says no he must have something better in store. He must. He's good at that.
I guess I'm not just bad at dating, I'm bad at waiting. I have an awesome dating book I found that is revolutionary, for me of course. I read it cover to cover and the main point was w-a-i-t. Only problem is, she didn't tell me how to get better at that. Or how to make it hurt less. Or how to not care. Just that I need to wait. So here goes.

Funny Moment of the Day
Two words...emergency underwear.
You know you have them. You know you do! That pair shoved back meticulously at the back of the drawer...just in case everything else is dirty. Then that day arrives, it's been too busy of a week to bother with laundry. You sigh, you pull 'em out, put 'em on.
Then you remember why they're only for emergencies. Just sayin'.

Today
It's been a while, bloggo world...I've been reading a lot of blogs again, so here goes...
Currently I'm trying to get back on track with the whole losing weight thing...and I'm trying to wrap my head around if it can be done! I have so many influences from so many places, and so many important people in my life, it's hard to process it all. Plus dating. Blargh.
I had some great advice this week...focus on today. I think, well, I know, that I live too far in the future, I'm always thinking about what will be instead of what is, where I should be by what point, how much weight I should lose by such time, not only is it unrealistic, it's down right exhausting.
Earlier in the year I decided that I was going to change some things. So here I go again. I'm not going to live like that any more. I'm going to focus on what I can do today, maybe tomorrow, and that's it.
Someone recently told me "it's just weight, it's just weight". I guess it is, but it feels like a lot more than that, and it's easier said than done. I don't have to obsess about how long it will take, or where I'll be in six months, or fear failure because I haven't gotten to whatever point. It's today right now, it will be later later.

Want to spoon with me???
A few weeks ago I came across a new (to me) brand of nail polish called "Zoya". Of course, it's nail polish, I was intrigued... So, I began browsing the colors and kept noticing this little memo about "spooning". I clicked on the link and up popped a video explaining about "spooning" with Zoya.
It's actually really a neat way to "try before you buy". Because we all want to make sure we get what we need when we buy something, "spooning" is a great way to ensure you buy the right color so you don't end up with 20 bottles of separated oil and paint on your bathroom shelf six months later.
What is a "spoon" then? Well, it's a little piece of plastic with an oval end painted with the actual color that you'd like to buy. So, they send you a "spoon" of the color you want to try out, you hold it over your actual nail when you get it and then decide if you want to purchase it. The spoons cost .50 each, BUT for each spoon you buy, you get that credit for purchasing your nail color. Plus, there's no shipping cost for the spoons!
When I ordered mine I picked out 8 colors, so that totaled $4.00. I immediately got a confirmation email and the next day received some shipping info so I could track my order. Hmm, pretty efficient. Then, a few days later I saw that beautiful white envelope in my mail box! I took it out and thought, "Huh, that's a little bigger than I expected." When I opened it, I realized that they had sent me not only the 8 spoons I ordered, but also two entire "books" of spoons from different promotional collections! So instead of 8 I got 28! What's a girl to do???? So many decisions???? The spoons are quite helpful and the packaging of them is quite appealing. They are labeled so you could actually create your own collection and never have to wonder if you picked the right color!
I really reccommend you take advantage of this. I mean, who could really resist some nail color? Not only do you get credit for your spoons, you get extra stuff too! By the way, I did check my account and I immediately had a $4.00 credit for the spoons from Zoya! Now what to pick???!!!!
