Overwhelmed.

I don’t think there’s a lot of people reading my blog regularly yet, but just wanted to post this just in case anyone cares to hear.  Well, in a nutshell, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with blogging lately.  True, nails and polishes are my true passion and  my ears still perk up when I hear about new collections and stuff, but I haven’t really had the time to come up with ideas on what to write about lately because I’ve been really busy.  In fact, when one of my nails broke off randomly one night while I was unloading things from my car, I went crazy and cut all of my nails short instead of trying to rescue that single broken nail.  I am not even wearing polish on my toes right now, after over a year of ALWAYS having polish on my toes, save for 2-3 particular days when I just stayed home.

My collection list, which I maintain in an Excel spreadsheet, states that I have over 2300 polishes: How many have I used?  Even if I change polish every single day I wouldn’t even get to use everything up in a year.  So imagine how overwhelming this can be.

At this point though I realized that :

• I’ve been buying way too much – even stuff that I am not sure would work on me.  Been buying dupes and “normal” colors that don’t make my heart skip a beat.
• I should only buy those colors that I really like and just keep stock of “basic” colors like a basic nude, black, red, pink, and white.
• I could still buy polishes but not at the pace I was at for the past months.  I should really be a bit more relaxed and patient when polish shopping and not hoard.
• I should allot time to do an inventory of my collection and swatch everything, even on nail wheels.
• I still want to blog, but only once I’ve sorted out everything in my collection.  I think that with the number of polishes I have, I could really help other people out by coming up with a swatch gallery or something, but that kind of thing requires a lot of planning so I need a few weeks to get everything down pat.  I do a lot of project management for a living and I should apply it to my hobbies too!

Having said all these things, I’m going to be back in the groove of things in a few weeks or months.  I definitely want to keep the blog running and might post a few random posts here and there (if something excites me).  But when I do decide to be back in the groove of things, I should have sorted out what I really want to do with my home in cyberspace to be of better use to everyone!

Ok, this is lengthy, so I better stop now.  But I hope you guys will still be there when I do come back…more..permanently.

Thanks for visiting and see you soon!
