Confessions

It's been a while since I've done a good ole' confessions post and I've got some things I really need to get off my chest ;)

I confess...

That I'm so excited that it's already November, yet I can't believe that it's already November. I think we've packed ourselves so full this fall that I really haven't gotten to enjoy it like I usually do. Let's hope I can stick to my idea of not being as busy next year

That I made a Greek Humus over a month ago, mentioned it on the blog and planned to blog the recipe but after sitting down to work on it, Stephen and I both agreed it really wasn't that good lol

My best friend had her baby on Monday and she's the cutest little girl ever! I can't wait to meet her in December!

This is super random but I can't believe Jojo and Jordan are still together!!! Anyone else shocked they lasted this long!? I also will NOT be watching Nick's season

Today is my niece's 1st birthday and I don't know how in the world this year went by so fast! I feel like it's so unfair that she's so big already! Stephen and I are hosting her first birthday party for family and Orlando friends this weekend and I didn't realize how much work it was going to be getting the house ready! Hopefully Sunday will be a very nice and un-stressful day since the party will be Saturday

I can't believe how dark it's getting in the evenings now... It's like pitch black by 6:30/7 and we haven't even had the time change yet! I'm going to feel like a vampire because the only time there's sun, I'm sitting in my cube

I feel like every week I say how I want to be a better blogger and get more posts done and every week I barely get a Monday and Friday post up. I'm just going to confess it's probably going to stay that way until January...

I confess...

That this is my first confessions post in a while! I sure do miss doing these things!

I am SOOOO excited because today I'm flying up to Indianapolis to see my sister for the weekend!! She's doing a summer internship up there and I cannot wait to see her again! We're heading over to Chicago for a night so send along your recommendations :)

This is me and my sister

The other fun thing that happened at work a few weeks ago was my boss finally remembered I had a blog (after like 2 years..) and decided it'd be fun to show everyone... so everyone made fun of me for a few weeks. Thankfully it's died down so hopefully I don't have to hear too much about it anymore - the cons of working with such a close-knit group ;)

Stephen and I have been loving throwing the baseball in our backyard during the evening but every once in a while, he'll throw the ball hard and I freak out. I got stitches from a softball in 4th grade so anytime it's thrown too hard to me, I get really scared.

I can't believe JoJo left Chase hanging like she did in the fantasy suite this past week - I feel so bad for Chase. It does look like they set him up to be the next Bachelor with how he came back to say he was sorry...

They really overdid it with Chad on The Men Tell All. Stephen said it looked like a Jerry Springer episode with how they brought Chad out with the security guards. Can't believe he's going to be on Bachelor in Paradise - is anyone going to be watching?

It's Thursday which means the weekend is almost here and it's time for a good ole confess sesh!

I confess that...

I have really bad teeth. I've heard it's genetic and it's gotten to where it's a miracle if I get a good report from my teeth cleaning. With that said, last week I did not get a good report and this afternoon I'm getting a small cavity filled. The plus side? Hopefully I'll get home earlier than usual and can catch up on the Bachelorette

We're going to a water park for my BIL's birthday this weekend and I'm so excited! The only thing is this isn't the nice and clean Disney water park so I feel slightly inclined to wear wave runner shoes but that would just be too embarrassing...

We (I especially) had a taste of summer this past weekend and had a really hard time going back to work. I don't know why, but it was SO hard #imissbeing10

We've got a few episodes of LOST left (y'all are probably soo sick of hearing me talk about this dang show!) and I can't wait to finish it so 1. we can see the ending 2, so we can get our lives back BUT, I know I'm going to be super sad once it's over

I really messed up our trash schedule last week. I was running late for my training class on trash day  (Th) and completely forgot about taking out our trash - I would've gone back but I was late for the class. Our super garlic-y food sat in the trash and the whole garage smelled. The next trash day was Monday but that was a holiday. Thank goodness I saw everyone taking theirs out on Tuesday so I didn't have to wait another 2 days.

I was really looking forward to going through blogs during lunch yesterday but some weird thing kept interfering with looking at the blogs and I didn't get to read any #firstworldproblems

Time for a good ole confess sesh!

I confess that...

- I ran to Old Navy during lunch on Tuesday and after being back at work fro 30 minutes, realized I never buttoned the button at the top of the back of my shirt

- Apparently Tuesday was my 4 year anniversary since getting my internship with my current group at work.. I say apparently because I got a ton of "happy anniversary" messages on LinkedIn

- I really don't utilize LinkedIn and just go on there to accept (friend?) requests

- Our networks went down at work the other day and everyone was at a loss since they want us to save all of our stuff on the network (shot ourselves in the foot?). The plus was I didn't have anything due that day and I got to go home to work since everything worked outside of the office

- On Tuesday and Wednesday I was very good and did this Tone it Up high intensity interval training workout. It's great because it doesn't feel like you're working out too hard but at the end you really feel it (and the next day too!)

- Brittany had her sweet baby boy this past weekend! Guess that isn't a confession other than I confess that the boys are so adorable! Congrats to the Whitacre's!

- It's looking like this Bachelorette season is going to be a good one! Jo Jo's got some great guys and some crazies but that's what makes it fun. Once again, Shaeffer hit it out of the park with her recap

- We're getting so close to finally booking a landscaper to redo our yard and I cannot wait for it to be done! Our yard looks SO bad right now (you're going to die on the before pictures lol) and I'm sure our neighbors are equally as excited ;)

Confessions

It's been a while since I've done a confession post (since Jessica stopped blogging actually) but today is the perfect day to get it going!!

I confess that...

Our gala is tomorrow and I'm so excited but I completely forgot that I still need to get a formal clutch

I decided to do a "day in the life" post. I was going to do one on Monday but completely forgot until Tuesday morning so I tried yesterday and hopefully it won't be boring

I booked my travel for my Atlanta business trip next month. I was supposed to go every quarter but completely missed Q2...

I finally got some fire under my butt (and time) to start scheduling landscaping companies to come and give us quotes. Hopefully the quotes aren't worse that what I'm thinking they'll be

I had no clue that Publix sold fresh kale - I always thought you had to buy it in the bag and it was always dry and bitter. Our friends made an amazing kale salad at supper club last weekend and that's when my kale world changed for the better. I bought some fresh kale and we've been loving it - I can't taste it in my smoothie anymore either!!

I haven't gotten my hair cut since Christmas.. is that too gross? Usually I get it cut every few months, once it becomes too thick and hard to control. It really hadn't been giving me too many problems and I want to grow it out some so I didn't want to mess with it but lately, it's been SO thick. I'm due for a fresh cut very soon

Happy Thursday! Linking up with Annie.

Confessions

I confess that I've noticed an usual amount of car accidents on my commute this week - there's been at least 1 every day and on Monday there were 3 bad ones! What the heck is going on?!

I confess that we slowly quickly discovered that there are, larger than we thought, openings under our sliding doors and that's how the lizards are getting into the house. I walked in from work on Tuesday and had one looking at me from our laundry hamper and then he proceeded to run right back to the hole it came in from... I've stopped it up with paper but it's time to start getting quotes for new sliders..

I confess that I skyped with my good friend from college on Tuesday and it was so great "seeing" her again! We've got to try to keep skyping more often! At least thank goodness for Snapchat in the meantime

I confess that after skyping for 2 hours and dinner, I was too lazy to do a blog post for yesterday and we watched another episode of LOST instead

I confess that we've finally started another show together (see above lol); Stephen's been wanting to watch LOST. I'm not going to lie, it's pretty eerie... we always feel creeped out while watching it but we can't stop

I confess that I finally convinced Stephen to get one of those hair cut capes for when I cut his hair. Goodbye haircuts in the tub and getting hair everywhere!

Time for a fun 'fesh sesh

I confess that I'm not sure what to do about my privacy on Instagram. I've had it private before but I like the non-private setting so I can have the fun feed on my blog. I've had the non-private setting for a while now and suddenly, the creepers liking my stuff has really ramped up. I'm talking the "like me for 1,000 followers" and women with questionable pictures. Do I have any options other than making myself private again? Does anyone else have this problem?

I confess that Stephen replaced our kitchen lights with LED bulbs. I do not like the look of the white LED bulbs... not on houses for Christmas or inside as light fixtures - I think the white light is too harsh and I really like the softer, yellow lights. The kitchen lights are great, they are the perfect soft shade; with those a success, Stephen decided to replace the other bulbs in our house. Unfortunately, he bought the harsh, bright white lights and I felt like I lived in a warehouse. Thankfully he found a different brand and replaced all the white bulbs with the softer ones and I couldn't love it more! He doesn't get on me when I leave a small lamp on in a dark house anymore lol

I confess that I watched Shay Shull on the Today show and thought she did a great job cooking her BLT pasta with Kathy and Hoda. She looks like a natural!

I confess that we FINALLY purchased our Colorado tickets on Tuesday! I'm so glad we finally nailed down a date and can get the ball rolling on our vacation this year. I've also booked our rental car so the next step is where to stay!

I confess that I'm really enjoying our lunch time workouts - it makes the afternoons go by faster, I don't feel bad if I want to relax when I go home, we get out of the office, it wakes me up and I can catch up with my friends! I'm so glad I finally decided to join them, it's been such a good thing!

Confessions

I confess that our admin filled an Easter basket with candy and I've been making frequent stops... granted I take candy to add to my stash for when I'm crashing in the afternoon ;)

I confess that I've joined my work friends for some lunch workouts and it's been so much fun! Unfortunately, it'll probably be going back to the 90's soon so not sure how much longer we'll be doing them with it being so hot

I confess that I wouldn't be all that upset if it rained on Easter morning and we had to move sunrise service inside... it's neat having the service during sunrise but it's always cold outside, the ground is wet which gets my feet wet, I can't wear heels because of the grass and we wouldn't have to set everything up and tear it down - we could just use the sanctuary. I sound like such a total complainer but hey, I'm confessing ;)

I confess that with Stephen's launch on Tuesday night (11:05 pm to be exact ;)) I definitely did not get enough sleep and am totally off. Hopefully, we'll get back on track this weekend

I confess that I started watching Gossip Girl and I'm addicted. The show is totally unrealistic in that they're like 16 and go to hotel bars and restaurants and just have straight up alcoholic drinks - unless I'm out of touch with reality in the upper social circles of NYC. While Stephen was working late Tuesday night, I watched like 4 episodes and finished season 1 - holy cow, that did not end like I thought it would've!!

Confessions

I confess that I'm not into St Patrick's day... I'm not Catholic, I'm not Irish, what do I have to celebrate? I have to admit, I will probably do some fun "green" things when we have kids though

I confess that Spring was here for about 1-2 weeks and now it's straight to summer. It's been 90 degrees when I leave work and my Freon is going out in the car so my ride home is nice and warm ;) I am ready to break out the shorts and head to the beach, though

I confess that I'm so glad we got our screen installed right before all the lake bugs came back. Gosh, those things are straight awful and I don't know how they all get in the house! I can't figure out what they are online and the pest control people say that there's nothing you can do for them

I confess that I can't wait to get some patio furniture! We didn't realize how expensive it was and I feel like if we buy now, we'll miss out on a good deal but now, we're missing out on the nice weather

I confess that I've been the most annoying person at work this week... there's pollen EVERYWHERE and my allergies are a hot mess. Thankfully, I'm getting better but that still doesn't make the nose blowing and coughing less obnoxious

I confess that the Bachelor totally had me fooled!!!! I picked Lauren as the winner and during the whole episode, I thought Jojo was going to win! Someone at work claimed he picked Lauren because of her family and I'm starting to agree. I am excited to watch Jojo as the bachelorette but poor Caila getting the boot! Also, Chris Harrison mentioned the season would premiere in May, I totally thought the Bachelorette was in the fall... am I wrong? It seems so soon!!

Confessions

I'm really starting to enjoy these confess sessions! Let's get right into it...

I confess that I was dying while watching this week's Bachelor... Ben told 2 girls he loved them!! WHAT!?! You don't do that!!! Someone is going to have a serious broken heart. I can't wait for the finale!

I confess that I read critics say Fuller House was horrible but we watched it anyways and we both enjoy it! We don't love it and it's total cheese but it's light-hearted and fun to watch! AND... they just announced Season 2!!

I confess that I finally scheduled my PMP exam yesterday and I'm so glad to have it officially on the books. I will be one happy girl come a week from today.

I confess that while we were at Downtown Disney, Stephen and I were obsessed with all the little babies... gah baby fever is creeping in... then a co-worker was on vacation but had to pick something up in the office so he brought his adorable 1 year old son in and I about died. BUT let's not forget about the fact that he did not want me to hold him and last time we saw our niece, she did not like us holding her either... so we'll see how that goes. Thankfully, our BIL, SIL & niece are visiting this weekend and I can't wait to see them! Hopefully Siena lets us hold her this time. (BTW, we are staying strong! No babies anytime soon lol)

I confess that I am so excited that it's March. March is such a great month, it's officially spring and I can shed my winter coat shirts. We've got a lot of fun outdoor activities planned this month that I'm really looking forward to.

I confess that most of my swimsuits are from college and are a few years old. I've decided to lose the weight I've gained since getting married and celebrate with a new, fun swimsuit. I say fun, because they have so many new styles and I'm not as concerned about tan lines since I'm not putting my wedding dress on lol Please send any places to get a fun suit (that's not too much $$) my way!

Confessions

I confess that I've never done a confessions post before - we'll see how this goes!

I confess that the teaser from the Bachelor messed up my bracket this week. After seeing Emily say she met his parents, I thought he'd keep her. I knew he wasn't that into her but I kept her and now I'm currently in 5th place...

I confess that we installed our back porch screen to keep the little bugs from the lake out... well they can fit through the screen

I confess that the 1+ hour commute each way to work is taking its toll on me

I confess that I've been seeing some articles online (who knows how legit they are) that the whole small headed baby is caused by a chemical they put in the water to kill the mosquitoes in Brazil and not Zika virus - has anyone else seen anything like this?

I confess that I love watching Tiffany's vlogs! Who knew watching 20+ min of someone carrying a camera around with them could be so engaging!

I confess that I enjoyed doing a confessions post!!
