Of Life and Lacquer

Guess what? I feel like an old lady today. Since I had the day off, I slept in a little too much even though I had a lot of things to do. Well, it was about 8 am when I decided to get out of bed, but I was still feeling really lazy so I thought it would be a good idea to stretch out. You know how good it feels to stretch out in your bed before getting up? Well, let me tell you what a nightmare that one little stretch turned into. I heard this really weird sound and felt like there was a pop/tear in my back. What the hell? Then I tried to get up, and I literally wanted to cry because my back hurt so bad. I had to roll out of bed and then try to get up. Ever since then, I have had this really dull pain on the left side of my back and any time I lean forward or turn to my left, it hurts even worse. Ok, I know I’m not a spring chicken, but is 33 really that old? I remember being a kid and falling out of trees, getting hit in the gut during dodge ball or getting hit in the face during kickball and it was like nothing even happened 2 seconds later. And now all of a sudden a freaking stretch wrecked my day? Oh boy…I don’t even want to think what’s going to happen when I’m in my 40’s: I’m going to break my leg when I stub my toe on the dresser? This is not going to turn into an “I’m so old” rant, I just hope that my back feels better tomorrow since I do have to go to the gym. Oh, by the way–the gym thing is going kind of freaking awesome. The only thing is that I am not remembering all the reasons why I personally hate the gym so much: people talking so loud I can hear them through my headphones, women in full make-up and hair on the elliptical machines “exercising”, people admiring themselves on the mirror the whole time they are “working out.” I guess I could go on forever, but I won’t because all I care about is getting in there, sweating my poundage off and getting the eff out. I love that feeling of accomplishment after a good workout so I am hoping this helps me stay motivated.

Oh, yeah…this post was supposed to be about polish, huh? Well, I have an interesting one to show you today: Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer Something To Blog About.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who immediately thought of this song/movie, right? I really, really, really enjoyed that movie!!! Anyway, let’s take a lot at the polish:

I have to admit that the main reason I got this polish is because of the name. I just thought it was silly and fun considering that is exactly what I was going to do with the polish! I am a purple lover so I liked the duochrome here but I knew that it would probably be lost on the nail. Well, I’ve got to say that I am not really a fan of the formula on this one (gasp!) because it is so thin! It took 4 thickish coats to get full coverage which is unheard of in my Morgan Taylor experience. I honestly don’t think the color is that awesome, but it’s alright.

So, now I’m thinking I’m going to die tomorrow at work since I have to be there so early. I better get to bed but let me know what you think of this color! That way I’ll have something fun to read when I get to work tomorrow. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
