My love for Essie knows no bounds

So I have crossed a new line in my nail polish obsession. I have actually hunted down and purchased nail polish online. What caused this, you may ask?

Essie Greenport. Tell me this is not the most amazing color ever?

Seriously, I searched all over Indianapolis for this color. It was one of three colors in a collection - I love the other two, which are fabulous shades of blue. In fact, I'm so in love with this one that I am totally wearing it on my toes when - if - I ever get married!

Greenport, however, was nowhere to be found.

So after weeks of craving nail polish (I mean, usually the only thing I crave are Twix and booze!), I finally caved and found it on Amazon.

While I was at it, I figured I couldn't just stop at one. Hence...

Essie has a new top coat called Matte About You. Basically it takes any color you use and gives it a matte finish. I know, matte nail polish sounds weird (and my mother will surely hate it), but these pictures are amazing! I am really excited to try it, I'm thinking matte gray and browns for fall.

Anyway, fingers crossed that they get delivered before I leave on Thursday. Green nail polish is totally wedding-appropriate, right? No? Ok fine, I'll stick with boring Ballet Slippers. But I'm not happy about it.

World Domination? There's an app for that...

M: It's ok, J and I have iPhones. We could rule the world.

A Belated Introduction

My new(ish) nephew: Baby J.

Yes, he's already 6 months old. Clearly, I slack.

And yes, he's only 6 months old. Clearly, he's giant.

Oh yes, and he's also the world's smallest hipster.

Oh. Hey, Blog. How's it Going?

I’m totally one of those awful guys from He’s Just Not That Into You. I’m all like “ohh, Blog…she’s interesting, I like her” and I’m all into it for, like, a month. And then what happens? I pull a total disappearing dude move. No calls? No emails? Not even a text? Bad B. But then, just when she’s sure she’ll never hear from me again…yup. I’m baaaack!

(BTW I promise that unlike disappearing dude, my return will not consist solely of 3AM texts reading “hey, you still up?” or “I’m in town, we should get together”)

PS – Yes, I’m aware that this is a sucky comparison. Just roll with it, I promise to improve with time.
