•A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO• Soooo … let’s pretend I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth these past few months and just carry on with this blogging thing like EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. Shall we? We shall! Okay, in my defense, things have been stupid busy over here. Hubby decides he wants to build a house, which is all fine and good, but did you know in order to sell the house you currently live in, you have to take all 3000 bottles of nail polish off the wall and act like NO ONE CRAZY LIVES HERE? Seriously, y’all, is this even worth it? My kitchen table being all kitchen-table-y instead of the ..read more

•A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO• I’ve lost the charger to my keyboard case on my iPad, so guess who’s writing this blog by poking the screen one finger at a time like a dadgum crazy person? Ugh. Booooo. Needless to say, this one will be short and sweet, cuz effort on a Saturday? LAME. Welcome to Road to Polish Con Week 11 y’all! This week we get two sparkly beauties to love and hoard like super hardcore. I kinda feel like stopping the blog right now cuz y’all know you’re buying whatever it is whether you like it or not. However, because PROFESSIONAL BLOGGER EXTRAORDINARE, here’s a crap ton of pictur ..read more

• A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO • Current status:  celebrating my wedding anniversary.  For year five, the traditional anniversary gift is WOOD, so not only did hubby book us in a beautiful treehouse overlooking scenic rolling hills and blooming things everywhere, but the popsicle stick Titanic with matching toothpick Leonardo that hubby SWORE he’d make for me is bound to make an appearance soon.  Except that it’s taking it’s DAMN SWEET TIME and patience is a thing for other people.  Ugh.  YOU GUYS.  I’ve stayed married a whole 1,825 days just for this moment, and that ..read more

While we wait for my next week in the Road to Polish Con series, I’ve got some general Polish Con information to share with you today.  Are you going? Are you thinking about going?  Well then, YOU FANCY.  Here’s all you need to know about the who, what, wheres.  FOCUS, y’all!  A copy/paste EXTRAVAGANZA! is happening in 3 .. 2 .. 1 ..

• A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO • 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’al ..read more

• A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO • Welp, March is practically over now. Sounds like an awesome time to tell you about some monthly exclusives that are about to go away forever! Not gonna lie: it’s not been an ideal time to be lounge-y, but I lounge-y’ed anyway. Who’s the most professional blogger in alllll the land? I’m not gonna tell you cuz you already know. So let’s FOCUS, shall we? We shall!  BLUSH Lacquers is one of this month’s featured brands in the Hella Handmade Creations group on Facebook, which means: 1.  Two BLUSH Lacquers posts in a row, y’all!  Victoria’s been busy ..read more

• A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO • Time to play some catch up! Hubby went out of town for work this weekend, which coincidentally has coincided with the house becoming haunted. To distract myself (to the trillionth degree), I shall blog and blog and blog until I fall asleep and not notice how extraordinarily long the cat has been sitting in the bathroom in the dark, staring at the toilet for no DADGUM good reason.  Which is what we tell ourselves, cuz the notion of a ghost on the toilet is the least ideal scenario of all time EVER. Soooo … clearly I don’t function well when ..read more

• A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO • Welcome to my first OFFICIAL week of some hardcore Polish Con blogging, i.e., proper blogging, i.e., (finally) a blog with actual useful information in it.  Well, we can’t be lounge-y all the time, now can we?  I mean, I give it my best effort most days but I figure I was chosen for this gig via something other than my Olympic-style couch lounging skillz.  Or was I?  I dunno.  We’ll see.  Cuz as far as talents go, you don’t get to Lazy, Level EXPERT for no dadgum good reason.  Trust me, I checked. Okay, I need to FO ..read more

• A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO • GUYS.  An award has finally come, just landed in my lap like NO BIG DEAL.  Cuz I scored a primo spot on the official blog team for Polish Con, and I swear I must’ve voodoo’ed someone real good this time.  This is big time stuff y’all!  Someone out there appreciates this blog full of nonsense, and I’m having the BEST DAY OF ALL TIME EVER.  First Spelling Bee Champion of 1987 and now this.  Why I’m not married to Leonardo by now defies allll the comprehensions. But then my blogger package showed up a few days ago and this best day just g ..read more

• A PRESS SAMPLE FANDANGO • Overheard several female co-workers discussing all their old sports injuries the other day.  I stumbled upon the conversation completely by accident as I was out walking around doing actual work-related things – which for someone who sits down for a living, is quite an accomplishment all by itself.  But there was talks of softballs-to-the-knee and basketball jumps gone awry and it really got me thinking:  Why can’t I ever be cool, even for just a little bit?  Cuz I am the girl who: 1.  Cries while trying to blow bubbles in the pool during s ..read more
