SNOW? and Other Silly Things

Recently I have discovered two things. The first is a website called Dear blank, please blank. I love reading them. Back when I had actual homework to do after school, I would spend most of my time procrastinating by looking at this website. One that I can relate to:

Dear tall people,

Being short isn't so bad. We have rational fears like heights and grizzly bears. You have stupid fears like doorways and ceiling fans.

Sincerely, anonymous.

This website is amazing. It really makes me laugh. I could fill up my entire blog with my favorite messages to ____ (blank). But I won't because I still have more things to talk about.

The second thing that I want to discuss is the upcoming snow storm. Ok, let's be serious, it is the middle of March. I was hoping that it would snow on March 5th, because that is my birthday, and I was born in a blizzard, but it didn't. So why should it snow now? Really, I wrote about snow a few months ago. I think it's time to be done. Because if it doesn't stop snowing all of our houses are going to look like this...The last snow storm we had I thought I was going to be buried alive under a snowbank. When I would take Max, my puppy, for a walk I was afraid that his little legs would sink all the way down, and he would be lost forever. He did sink down very far, but he enjoyed hopping around like a bunny. But really, as much as I love watching Max hop around, I really do not want any more snow.

So, I checked the weather (I am also experimenting with using links) and I discovered this image.
Immediately my mouth fell open, and I had to contain myself from letting out a loud wail. "ARE WE SEROUS?" Chance of snow from 2pm until 2am. I am disgusted in the weather at the current moment in time. I was so ready to put away my winter clothes, and throw my boots into the closet... but instead I have to put on my big puffy coat, and hat and gloves, to go trekking to and from school. Wonderful! Is it so much to ask for just another nice warm day? Instead we are going to be hit with a mountain of wintry flakes. I can't even bear to look back at my older posts where I expressed my love for the fluffy snow. I've had enough, and I'm ready for warmth and sun.

Ok, I think that is enough about snow.

In other news, I found my Pink (that looks kind of silly) nail polish that I have been looking for. After years, of searching I found it. I would like to thank an anonymous source for bringing me this wonderful color.

If you cannot read the label it says "Sinful Colors" and the color is "Fusion Neon" Really, anything with that name has to be perfect. Thank you so much for helping me find this color. The moment I got home I painted my nails and each time I look down at them a huge grin spreads over my face. I can't wait for the sun to hit them tomorrow... oh wait, it will be hidden by the falling snow. Either way, I am not going to let the chance of snow ruin my wonderful new pink nails. They are so bright they might even melt some of the snow. I mean anything can happen, it is going to snow in the middle of march...

As much as I am upset about the recent weather predictions, I will say that I do think it is absolutely gorgeous the morning after a big snowfall. It reminds me of a winter wonderland, because that's what it is.

Ok, I think that is all for now. Now that I really understand this blogging thing, I might try using different fonts, or more colors, or even video clips.

Thanks to everyone for reading my thoughts and ramblings.

Nail Polish Colors (continued)

So tonight, like most nights, I was searching again for my mysterious nail polish color. I think I am officially becoming obsessive. I just want to find this color. Then I feel like everything else will fall into place. I found several pictures of my nail polish. I think I have found it, but I'm not completely sure. The only solution for this issue is... I'll have to buy each color that I find. I remember freshman year someone was telling me that there was also a neon green and a neon yellow nail polish that went along with the mysterious pink. So I searched for those colors, and found this... The only thing is, the picture is way too small to figure out who makes it. So I guess my search continues.
Then I found another color, and it looked very close to what I am looking for. I thought that I had found it (see below) But then when I looked online it came out in 2009. I was a freshman in 2007-08, so unless people were able to travel into the future to get this color I don't think it's "the one".
Then I discovered this wonderful collection of colors. First there is the pink... obviously.
Next there is the neon green, which I think I would enjoy wearing. I really like that one a lot. It would match my neon green backpack for school.
Then comes the neon yellow. I would also love to wear it, especially on a bright sunny summer day. I think this would glow perfectly in the sun.
Next, there is the bright orange. I am not really a fan of orange nail polish... bit with this one I could make an exception. This color sort of reminds me of Kraft Macaroni And Cheese (my favorite). Next is a pinkish salmon color. I kind of like it, but it doesn't really go along with my neon theme. And finally, there is the blue. I really like this one a lot. I would love to wear this one.
This is the last image, I swear. It is a picture of all of the colors, and their names. Which I find very helpful, because I will definitely be buying them. If you notice the image at the bottom, it shows what the polishes look like when they are painted on nails. I realize that none of these colors are my mysterious pink color. So I guess that means I have to keep looking. I might still have to search for my color, but I have all of these new ones to try.

If you have any ideas about the pink neon color that I am searching for please let me know. Thanks a bunch! Happy painting.

Nail Polish Colors

So since freshman year there has been this mysterious nail polish color that I have been searching for. I looked everywhere for it. All I remember is that it was so electric pink that it seemed to glow in the dark. Every so often I remember how badly I wanted this color. At one point in time, I would waste all of my money on every single shade of pink, just to see if it was right. Last year I started to give up my search for the one shade of polish that fit my bubbly personality. I decided (just now... as I write this post) that I am going to make it my goal to find this color before I graduate in 83 days, 10 hours, 59 minutes.
One afternoon while on an outing with my mom to get our nails done, I think that I may have spotted my mysterious color. It was sitting right on the shelf, so bright and colorful. Now as I think back to that day, all I can wonder is, why didn't I get that color? It would have saved me a lot of time and money... too bad, so I guess the search has to continue.
On some afternoons I will procrastinate and search for this color. The color (below) is the typical color that will always show up on my searches.
This color may be electric pink... but it is not the right one. In the past four years I have bought numerous colors, and borrowed colors from friends. You may think it is an obsession, and to be honest I think it is too. My name is Rachel Levitt, and I am obsessed with finding the perfect pink nail polish color. It hasn't started to interfere with my life, but it has started to make my wallet a little lighter. I also love to try different colors, not just pink. While I am incredibly frustrated that I have been unsuccessful at finding my dream color, I will say that wearing bright blue or aqua does change my mood a great deal. This one color has gotten me through some rough times. I love the way that it is so bright and bold, and sometimes can be louder than my voice... which, if you know me, is almost impossible.
I think that is enough for now. I could really talk about different colors all day... well all night really (it's 11:14pm).

If anyone has seen this color please let me know. You would really make my search a whole lot easier. Thanks. Hopefully you find that perfect color before you graduate!

Prom Anyone?

Hello everyone,

(I would like to say that I am playing around with using images in my posts, so beware)

This week has been crazy, and it is only Monday. Several people have already popped the question... not for marriage, but for the second most important event in a girl's life. What is this event, you ask? Prom. This is the season where girls are trying to build up friendships with as many guys as possible, just to be safe. Guys are scrambling around to figure out how to ask their dream date. And that is just the start of it. Today I decided to take a trip to the mall and look around for what would catch my eye. So far I have narrowed it down to two things. The first, I don't really know what on earth I am looking for except that I might want a red dress... possibly. The second, I need all the help that I can get.

So here are all of the varieties of dresses that I am considering....



I am not going to lie, this is a stressful time. On the plus side, at least it's stress about dresses and shoes, instead of things like the SATs. Because this is such a stressful time, I would like to remind everyone to remain calm. Maybe have a sip of tea, I recommend my favorite, Pomegranate Pizzazz, with a spoonful of honey.

Just remember to stay calm and enjoy the last few months of SENIOR YEAR! And for those of you who are not seniors, just wait, it is really a great year!

Good luck to everyone for their hunt for a dress and a date. This should be very interesting.

Snow and Senioritis

So it's been a while since my last post. I'll be honest, I have a bit of writer's block. I think that the only way that I will overcome writer's block is by actually writing. I have always admired the way people add pictures into their blogs. So I'm going to try that out myself.
I would like to discuss one major thing. Snow. There has been a lot of it. For the past week or so every single time that I look out of a window I see it. Snow on houses, on cars, on streets, on people, it's everywhere. One of my favorite parts about snow is that it is incredibly fun to eat. It cools me off after sledding and building forts.

If you look carefully at your glove or mitten you can see that each individual snowflake is unique.
I love the way that snow just falls so quietly from the sky creating fluffy white blankets all over the town. The best thing about snow is that sometimes it is able to cause every kid in town to scream happily, "SNOW DAY!"
I know that this post was very short, but I'm trying. It's tough to write all the time. I really admire people who are able to blog everyday.
In other news, I am currently a second semester senior, and I have never felt better. If I think back to this time last year, I was incredibly stressed out and always on the go. This year, there are no major projects and the workload is very light. I love it! As we start counting down the days until we graduate I can't help but feel a little bit sad. I almost wish that we could stay seniors forever, but I'm really excited to start the next phase in my life.

Senioritis and snow are the perfect mixture to make any senior smile.

It's Been a While

Wow, it has been so long since my last post. I was inspired to write this blog by the wonderful snow that was falling this afternoon. Right now I am incredibly restless, because everyone around me is finding out about college... and I have to wait another month or so.
After taking a test today, I knew I needed something to make me smile. When I looked out of the window... there it was SNOW! It wasn't a heavy snow fall, but just enough to plant a smile right on my face. It was great!

This means a whole new time of year is starting. That time when everyone is pink in the face, and laughing all the time. I love it.

I think that this is all for now. This is a really short post. I'm hoping to have more to talk about soon!! Have fun getting ready to play in the snow!

A Little Bit of Everything

I am not going to lie.. but I have writer's block. It doesn't help to see that I haven't posted in a while. So this is my attempt to get rid of writer's block.
While writing this I am sitting by the warm fire, watching Max, my puppy, enjoy the warmth coming from the fire place. I was told that he is too close, and needs to be moved away from the fire. After moving him a few feet, I sat back down to continue writing. Max, being the little trouble maker that he is, decided to sit even closer to the fire. And I am still stuck with writer's block. I was thinking about doing an after Halloween post, but to be honest my costume was not good enough to be blogged about.
Right now it is about 4:30 pm and it is so dark out that I thought it was the middle of the night. This can only mean one thing, winter is coming! I can't wait for the nights when you can't sleep because there is a storm brewing outside, and a snow plow is trying to uncover the ground. Those are the best nights, especially when you are a little kid, knowing school will be canceled the next day, which obviously means a huge snowball fight with your entire neighborhood will take place in the morning.
I have one question that I need to ask. How come we are supposed to choose what we want to do with our lives, when we are only 17 or 18 years old. If you think about it, it is really weird that we choose the path of our lives when all we have done so far is go to school.
One thing that has been on my mind lately is..... college, which i assume is true for most seniors right now. This weekend was a no fun no play weekend, it was basically a weekend where I was on college app lock down. All of this applying and thinking about the future has gotten me kind of nervous. I hope I'm not the only one who is very nervous for what next year will bring. If there is anyone reading this right now that is not nervous at all, please enlighten me.

And on a more uplifting note, the holidays are coming up soon!
Good luck to everyone who is going through any of this college stuff.
