Who am I kidding?

My wrists will never get better because I can't keep myself off of here. In my nail files link up, I meant to share this photo:

These are the nail polishes I have gotten in the past 2 weeks. The OPIs are from the new Holland line and I seriously love them. That silver/multi colored glitter is amazing too. When I wear it I feel like there is a party on my fingernails lol.  Here it is over OPIs Pedal Faster Suzi:

It really is much prettier then this photo makes it out to be. If you want it, it's called: Twinkling Glitter by Venique.

If you are curious about what the OPI Holland collection looks like on, here are a few pictures:

 This is I Have A Herring Problem and it's a really pretty blue/grey color. It's not quite as dark as the photo makes it out to be.

This is Pedal Faster Suzi and I'm pretty sure it's my favorite out of the 4 I got.

This is called Did You Ear About Van Gogh? and I really like it! It's definitely a good nude/sand color which is pretty popular for the Spring.
Unfortunately I don't have a picture of You Don't Know Jacque but it's reallllllly pretty on.

I think I am going to go to Walgreens today and indulge in some Sinful Colors! I am hoping I can find some cute colors that I don't have yet. They have a really pretty glitter called Frenzy that looks a bit like Cults Unicorn Puke/Clairvoyant and I really want it!

Okay, so I lied

I forgot I do my link up that only one person has ever linked up to on Saturday so I have to blog today.

If you walked into my house right now...
You would see this collage

 You would think I drank both of these last night. Well, I did but each had less then 1/4 of the bottle left.

 You would see we got out Girl Scout cookies yesterday! There are 2 other boxes lol.

 You would see that I don't know how to put my nail polish away.

 You would see Mocha sun bathing lol.

 You would see we are watching Dirty Jobs.

The Nail Files

First, I want to say, I may not blog for a few days because I got rough news from my doctor today: I might have Carpal Tunnel. I have been fighting a never ending battle against the pain in my wrists but yesterday was just the worst. I struggled through crippling pain for a good 5 minutes to open a can of tuna and finally had enough. So my loves, I am going to try to stay off the bloggy blog for a few days to give my poor wrists a rest.

With that, here is the weekly, wonderful nail files link up!

I went crazy and bought like 20 new nail polishes in a week. Seriously. This beauty is called: I have a herring problem and it is from OPIs new Holland collection. I actually got 4 from the Holland collection and there are still a few I want.

I'm not sure why, but it is showing up more green then blue when in reality it is a blue/dark grey color. Maybe this picture will better show it's beauty:

My song

I am feeling insanely helpless lately. Two of my friends are experiencing horrible pain and it completely breaks my heart. One struggling to make her marriage work, the other struggling to deal with being without her husband for 8 months. I wish there was anything I could do to make all the pain go away. I just want to hug both of them, let them cry and tell them everything they need to hear. My song this week goes out to both of them:

Guest posts!

Next week I will be posting a number of guest posts! I am soo happy I got such a great response from some of my readers. If you are interested, feel free to join in the fun by emailing me at brittany.sommer@yahoo.com

Yesterday hubs and I had a nice night in. He made us a yummy steak dinner with sweet corn and mashed potatoes and we had carrot cake for desert. We also finally watched The Help which was a really good movie. I'd recommend it to anyone! It sucked that he was at work so late, but I was happy to have him by my side. We didn't get to spend Valentines Day with each other last year and it really sucked even though he came home from deployment the very next day. That last sentence brings me to a rant. There is a Sailor on hubs ship who just got there a month and a half ish ago and he had the nerve to try to get off early yesterday. That really grinded my gears. What makes him think he is so special that he could get a half day above all the other Sailors with significant others that, mind you, didn't get to spend Valentines Day with their significant others last year? Not to mention, he is NEW and this isn't even the first time he has tried to get out of work early for something ridiculous. He tried to get out of work early one day because his wife had a dentist appointment. Yes, they have 2 kids BUT, if she can't handle taking them with her or finding a sitter, that's just too bad. That is just one of the other times, out of who knows how many, he has tried to get out of work early.

Maybe I am just mad because Ryan gets screwed so often. Most everyone else gets off that ship around 3 or 4 but Ryan gets stuck there until 5 most days. The poor guy is exhausted. He comes home from work every day bearly able to keep his eyes open. It just isn't fair.

Is it the middle of March yet?
Le sigh.

For Valentines Day

I decided to write a mushy, gushy post about Ryan so here it is!

The moment I laid eyes on him, I wanted to know him. The fact that he wouldn't talk to me made me want to know him even more. Once I did know him, I never wanted to let him go. He was one of the best friends I ever had.
           

When Ryan was on his way to Indiana to visit family for Christmas the thought of him and I was running through my mind constantly. He called and talked to me for most of the 14 hour drive, no joke. At this point in our life, Ryan had already professed his love for me while one bottle deep into Jack Daniels but I was trying to not think about that. After all, he was smammered.

Ryan came to visit me the day after he got to Indiana. As soon as I saw him I wanted to run into his arms and hugs him (It had been almost a year since I last saw him) but I was a bundle of nerves so I didn't. He walked up to me and was like "Give me a hug!" so we hugged and at that point, I don't even know what happened, but sparks flew for me. We went out and hung with some of my friends and I decided I just HAD TO kiss him when we were in McDonalds drive thru. He kissed back, of course.

While he was in Indiana, nothing further happened but I know what was going through both of our minds. Can't even deny that we both had been thinking about the other before we left to come back to Virginia (as friends).

The day after Christmas, we headed to VA. It had been a long, awkward drive and finally Ryan manned up, pulled into that rest stop and asked me to be his one and only. I felt like a high school girl with her first love. It was unreal to me. I think it took a while to sink in, honestly. We held hands for the majority of the rest of the trip and while I was driving (singing and dancing) Ryan was watching me and smiling (didn't have a clue til he told me). We finally got to Virginia Beach and passed out.

The rest of this story tells itself though I don't really remember if I told any of you how badly I wanted to tell Ryan I loved him 2 weeks into our relationship. I knew then what I know now, that I want to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful man.

I love him so much! He is my whole world. He is the reason the sun rises and sets. He is the reason the Earth spins. He is the reason I make it through each and every single day.

I don't believe I ever shared all of these pictures with you guys, so here they are! Our engagement and OFFICIAL wedding photos <3
