Finally did my nails again.

Finally did my nails again.  I'm not big on holidays, but happy whatever you celebrate!  🙂

I know that I've got a little bit of everything going on right now, but it's got a holiday-esque theme, so it's cool.  LOL  It took me longer to plan this mani than to actually put it on myself... that seems to be my holdup lately.  😕  Thankfully, I've had some extra time since school is out, so I could think on it all I wanted to.  😛

I've done a few Christmas paint jobs in the past.  I would say that I'd re-share them, but I don't know.  I don't really feel like it.  I had a friend tell me that I should start water-marking my photos and I think she's right, but that just feels like more work.  I have to think about it.  LOL  If I do re-share anything, it'll be on Instagram, though.  You should follow me there just in case.  😛  www.instagram.com/polish_ALL_thethings

May or may not update this with polishes and plates used.  Depends on if anyone cares.  My biggest regret is that you can't see the beauty of the green on my pointer finger.  It's such a deep and amazing color.

I'm sorry that school is all I talk about lately, but...

I'm sorry that school is all I talk about lately, but it's how I'm going to change our lives and the longer I go the more I start to feel that a change could ACTUALLY happen.

I don't know how well you can see this, but the main point is all the yellow - with no gaps.  All of the yellow lines are classes that I've completed.  At the bottom there are 3 in progress (next semester) and the rest are done, too.  I'm not sure why they aren't yellow; I think it is because I am transferring and this Degree Works page is more set up for a 4-year college, but they let us use it anyway.  LOL

And finally, I have 3 B's and that awful D I've been battling.  That's ok.  I'm winning.  😉

Anyway.  I was also obsessively checking this page, waiting for it to update, as well.  I love watching the lines fill in.  😃  Makes me feel like I've done something!

Been obsessively checking school stuff...

Been obsessively checking school stuff, waiting for this to update. Finally, my GPA is higher than a 3.5. Mission accomplished! 😃

Happy 8 Years to my very best friend.

Happy 8 Years to my very best friend. Today was definitely not the way I'd want to spend an anniversary, but it sucked less because I was with you. Thank you for making my life better in all the ways. ❤️

Had such big plans to get things done today, but...

Had such big plans to get things done today, but instead I'm just wiped out. Boo.

When you get an email...

When you get an email saying that you sold something on Etsy and you are surprised, because you've been too busy to think about Etsy and totally forgot you had a shop.  LOL

My first weekend without homework or studying to do!

My first weekend without homework or studying to do!  I have big plans.  I'm gonna wash all the creatures!  😛

Well, not all of them.  I don't think I'd survive washing 10 cats in a row.  Not even with Shaun's help.  LOL  But the dogs need it bad and I think the reptiles would appreciate it before they brumate.  They are all still awake so far, but it is getting pretty cold.

I'm sure that Tort Baby and Nom just need it even though they don't usually sleep.  So far, they just get lazy when it's cold.  I can relate.  😃  I've gotta get Nom a new water set-up this weekend, too.  The pan he was using has a small hole in it.  Maybe it wouldn't if he didn't flip it daily and throw it all over the place, but he likes to re-decorate often.  😉

We've even gotta change Anansi's bedding.  She was webbing up the place yesterday, but if she doesn't look like she's about to molt by the time we get ready to do it we'll just go ahead.  We might need to consider re-decorating her house, too, because she's getting so big.  I don't think she can even fit in her skull anymore!

Aside from that, NAILS.  I've gotten so many pretty polishes that I haven't had time to use.  I've discovered some brands that are blowing my mind.  I really need to make time to fill you in.  I think I have 3 weeks of no school.  Looks like I might be working a lot, but that is usually less stressful.  Maybe I will be able to clear my head enough to slow down and enjoy myself.

Anyway, like I said - BIG PLANS.  😃  Taking care of the ani-pals is a labor of love, though, and I've missed it.  ❤
