Stream of Consciousness – week 28 #SOCWeekend #blogging #freewriting
I officially survived my first work-week back after winter break. Oh how I miss winter break.
I rocked this week, though. I have a series of events planned in Florida just 5 weeks from now, and I think all of my accommodations are in place. It’s a lot of planning and it made my head spin for a few days, but I am feeling better about things now. Good things.
I was checking out local venues this week and noticed several concerts I want to attend. I used to attend so many shows. I miss my concert-going days, but it’s pricey and they tend to be late. I have to be at work early. I just can’t hang like I used to be able to.
I just realized my nails are a hot mess. I took off some Jamberry wraps earlier in the week (because I was tired of them after 10 days.) I painted my nails, and the polish was fine until Friday afternoon. So the polish lasted a whopping day and a half. It’s totally a first world problem, but such an annoying one.
A friend shared a video for Colbie Caillat’s video to “Try” yesterday. I’m hooked. I downloaded the album because I’ve been meaning to do that for a while. The whole album is awesome, and this video is a must-watch, if you haven’t seen it yet.
This post got pretty random. I’m only half sorry for that. I hope your weekend is fabulous!

Welcome back to another week of Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This is the time where I spend 5 minutes free writing. I usually post this for Saturday morning, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. It’s totally fine.
Want to participate? The rules….
1. Set a timer for five minutes. (Or keep tabs with your computer’s clock.)
2. Write freely. Any topic. Whatever is on your mind. It doesn’t even have to be completely cohesive.
3. Tag on social media with #SOCSaturday or #SOCSunday and link up below. You have all day Saturday and Sunday to join the link up. It closes Monday morning.
4. Click around and give some comment/blog love.
I have never taken the time to listen to that song! The video really makes it. I love it and it falls right into line with a lot of what I am currently going through.
I’m so out of the loop sometime. I’ve never even heard this song, but this video is absolutely amazing. I love it! Also, I hate nail polish. I just give up and stick with buffing my nails. It sounds like you’re back into your routine. That’s great to hear. Hope to see you soon.
I LOVE RANDOM! Especially random Jaime! Hooray! I have yet to enter the world of Jamberry…and yes, you rocked this week. I owe you an email. 🙂 xo
I love those Jamberry wraps, but I have acrylic nails, so I can’t use them. One day when I get them off I am trying them for sure.
You can use them over acrylics! But if you have a design already, it’s not totally worth it. 😉 (My MIL wears them on her acrylics.)
Now this seems quite an interesting idea to do (since I am bored lol) will definitely try to join in as well.
That’s what I was thinking. I’ve got nothing to do. Might as well right?
I good with the 5 minute free styling it is making sense that gets me every time. I was given some of those Jamberry wraps for a gift and I haven’t used them yet because I am afraid at how hard they are got get off again. That and I have been recently wearing my nails very short because of the babies. Oh well maybe next Christmas!
I do love the Jamberry wraps. The come off with nail polish remover, and as long as you use enough remover, they’ll slide off with no problems. Otherwise, they break my nails if I don’t use enough. Right now I’m trying to let my nails breathe a little more. (Totally first world problem, I KNOW!) 🙂
I love her music. I don’t think there is a song out there that I don’t like of hers. Hope you have a great week.
Thanks! I think she’s pretty fabulous. (Our first dance at our wedding was to one of her songs.) Happy Monday!
Listen, the first week back to work after Christmas and New Year’s breaks was KILLER for me. I’m feeling a bit better about it this week, though. Glad you are, too! Here’s to a great 2015!
Winter break was fun but a little too busy for my taste. I’m actually enjoying the normal weekday schedule 🙂
The normal schedule is definitely better for all of us. Not as many meltdowns due to lack of schedule!
Wow you made my mind spin with all these thoughts. Hope you have a productive week.
Hence the writing challenge. 😉 I just want to get thoughts out of my head so I can move onto the next thing!
That music video is really cool. I don’t think I’ve heard “Try” before today. Thanks!
My week is off to a great start! You do seem pretty busy!
I love the video for Try! It’s so touching and inspiring. Plus her voice is great.
Well done on surviving the back to work week – I cannot decide if we are lucky or not that the other half only really gets the ‘big days’ off.
These posts are so fun! I need to do a random post I think. That’s a really great Cobie song!
I only had 4 days off during the winter breaks. Last year I was home all winter and it was fun! Love that video!!
This is right up my alley I been meaning to write 30 post this month but I love the idea of doing this. This song really speaks to me at the moment.
I’m going to put my link up. Thanks so much for sharing this and being open. I love bloggers who can open up makes me want to read the other post they share.
I do need to try this free writing. I am sure I would amaze myself with what would spill out
I was not trying before it was cool, haha! I was never the girl that tried too hard to look pretty with makeup & whatnot 😛
I love your random thoughts. It sounds like you totally did rock this week. My nails are always a hot mess so I don’t feel so bad now. I will have to check this video out tomorrow when I can turn up the speakers without waking the rest of my family up.
I’ve heard so much lately about Jamberry nails. That might be a good solution for me since I don’t usually paint my nails and hate how quickly polish looks bad.
My daughter uses the Jamberry nails and she loves them. They do come in a lot of cute designs!
I used to do this when I was writing a lot of fiction, for blogging, I don’t find it helps me much because I have things really planned out. But with fiction writing, it helps me to get rid of the blogging world so I can creatively make stuff up.
I just adore Colbie Caillat and love that she is trying to take a stand about beauty standards. She has an amazing voice and she should get more recognition than what she does.
Jamberry nails are the best. They really stay on your nails and look great. There are so many great designs to choose from.
