My Blue Nail Polish Addiction Continues....

I am trying to decide what color to paint my fingernails today. Many of you know that I have quite the array of colors in my collection. However, my favorite color is, once again, blue.

Probably 90% of the time I choose blue to paint my nails, and, depending on my mood, different shades, as shown here in my collection:


You can see the (almost) obsessive amount of blues that I own here, it is obvious of my addiction to the polish. 


Many times throughout my life I have bought two or more versions of the same color or formula: once I owned about three or more bottles of bright blue shimmer polish, my most favorite color of all to wear. Unfortunately, this is a habit I have: buying the same thing over and over again because I like it so much, because I'm a T-shirt and jeans kind of girl, and because it's so comfortable to wear, like an old pair of sweatpants. This habit goes for clothes too. I have had to try and break this habit....

This morning I went looking for my favorite polish of all- Royal Navy by Orly. It is pictured here in all its blue brilliance: 





See the sparkly iridescent shimmer?! It was my absolute favorite for years. I thought I still had it....




NO!!!! I remembered that I had thrown it out because... of course, I used up every drop and the bottle was all dried out. I shall get another one soon, I hope. Sorrow. 

Meanwhile, I have a few other colors in the back of my mind, like this one. 



This one is just bright fluorescent cobalt blue. So classy! 
And China Glaze's "Dorothy Who?" , "Can You Sea Me?" and "Star Hopping" (to replace my bottle of Essie's "Starry Starry Night" which also dried up to death). 

                    


















This one also looks appealing. I don't care at all for My Little Pony, but look at all that blue.... 

  Ok, enough with polish land. I probably shouldn't have this much polish being that I am a performing clarinet player, but I love nail polish anyway and will always continue to. :) 

So, with that said, this is the color I have chosen to paint my nails:




I will need to take it off before my community band concert on Friday. 

I guess that is enough polish for the day. I will be back soon!

The 2000s Mall

 Our world has gotten more and more depersonalized by the minute. Adults throwing temper tantrums, not being able to log into a computer without it tracking your account to a certain device, and robots making decisions for us have become the norm. And this is the world that I graduated into to work in. Particularly in the last four years, I have seen people behave in ways that they should be ashamed of. I have seen six-year-olds behave much more maturely than many adults I have seen. I realize that I am only in the first few years of my working life, but not too long ago things were much better. The Internet, cell phones and email are all older than me, but I think we need much, much more moderation of what I grew up with that has now grown out of control. If things could go back to the way they were when I was a kid, and even as a young teenager, life would be so, so much better. I know I have said this before, we need to go back to the 2000s. I have shared on this blog the various ba

Polly Esther's Life

Image
My baby kitty, Polly Esther, passed away June 3rd after 18 years of a good life, and finally, aging and refraining from eating for a few months. She may have been in pain from a tumor too.  I knew Polly would pass away sooner or later, as we all will die eventually. I was happy that she had made it to the legal age where she could smoke and vote. Not that she should've done the former, as it's harmful to one's health, and I think she would've done a good job with the latter, voting for LimberButt McCubbins for president (look him up), and choosing whether to vote DemoCat or RepubliCat. I hope any cat that I am a human to can make it this long.   I have always loved cats. I had wanted a cat from the time I was five years old. I remember laying in bed with my mother one night, and I told her, "Mommy, I want a cat. And I want to name her Polly." She said, "We'll have to pray for a kitty, honey." My father hated cats at the time,

Thoughtfulness

The Quiet Girl- Thoughtfulness   Artist: The Quiet Girl Song: Thoughtfulness Album: Sample Studio Recording "Reflections"          I have 2 studio recordings I have made now, as I wrote earlier. This is one of them. This is an original song I wrote called "Thoughtfulness", written for the hammered dulcimer and played by me. I am learning to use the studio well and it took forever for me to learn how to edit and export music, but I know these things well now. I am getting better and better at it, and I am better at it even now than I was when I made this recording, which was only about a month ago.    Recording in a studio is different from performing. Of course, you always have to practice to sound as good as possible, like if you were to perform in front of an audience. But when you are recording, if you make a mistake and it takes you 10 tries to get a part right, after you are done recording, you can keep the 10th try where you got it rig
