It’s going to help structure my daily goals. I’m fond of lists, because then you get to strike things off once you’ve accomplished a task. No more crummy paper lists for this gal! Alistair said he’s going to draw a penis on it at his first opportunity. Better than tracing, I guess.
And, best of all, I got to strike it off my list…
A prime example of a crummy paper list
See that? I’m researching Costa Rica because we’re thinking of taking our New Years trip there for a couple weeks of beaching, yoga, and surfing (not me–I’m too scared for that). Anyone been? Suggestions? Santa Teresa seems to be the area we’re headed.
I’ve been shopping up a storm! It’s perfect timing, really, what with being unemployed again and Christmas around the corner.
I did buy that coat I was looking at. And I saved over $100 because I waited for the Black Friday sale. It looks better than it does in the photo, I think–I was trying it on in the store and wanted to snap a quick picture before the other patrons could judge me.

I also bought a few new polishes. Ok, so OPI put out a polish called The Man with the Golden Gun as part of the Skyfall collection. It’s a topcoat with flecks of 18k gold. It’s pricey as far as polishes go but, rest easy friends, I saved a whopping $10. I love it. Here’s two examples of me loving it…
This is Essie’s Meet Me at Sunrise, with The Man with the Golden Gun on top.
Ignore the sloppy paint job. This is China Glaze’s Evening Seduction with The Man with the Golden Gun on top.
See! It’s an easy way to spice things up.
Normally I showcase my nail art, but I haven’t gotten around to doing anything fancy with these two lovely nude colours from OPI’s Germany Collection.

If they look like they might be the same colour, you’re wrong. The first is a nude with yellow undertones and the second is a nude with pink undertones. Biiiiiig difference.
On the board for tomorrow — get back to writing my little story. I got derailed by the simple fact hat I have no idea what I’m doing. And I lack discipline. But the board will change that!
Coincidentally, I just came across an article someone posted to Facebook on the daily routines of well-known authors. They all have discipline.
Is This the Way the World Ends?
