Friday Confessions

Lauren2 Comments

Confession #1: I was tempted to title this post something with “Weekend” in it.  You know, to keep in line with the rest of this week’s posts.

Confession #2: It’s been five days and I am still obsessively thinking (and talking…poor Joey) about the season finale of Shameless.  It’s borderline unhealthy.  That scene where Debbie recognized Ian’s depression and said, “Yeah, we know what this is” will haunt my dreams forever.

Confession #3: I adore eating breakfast at the kitchen island every morning.  So much better than sitting on the couch.

Confession #4: I let Joey talk me into getting sandwiches at our favorite local shop before the Rockies game on Tuesday.  Pretty sure this is the start of a bad expensive habit.

Confession #5: I’m over any temperatures below 70 degrees and weather that’s anything less than sunny.

Confession #6: I’m having a La Croix thing.  A “drink one daily” thing.  Because one a day keeps the doctor away.  That’s a saying that refers to sparkling water, right?

Confession #7: I’ve spent my entire life thinking all of Europe drove on the opposite side of the road, until, in the middle of a riveting Rick Steves’ TV special, I was told otherwise.  Turns out only the UK drives on the opposite side.  HOW HAVE I GONE MY WHOLE LIFE BEING MISINFORMED ABOUT THAT?

Confession #8: I have way too many pictures of food on my phone and not enough pictures of people.  Below is my lame attempt to remedy that.

A happy happy Friday to you all!

Confessions Part II

Ugh, I’m always so hesitant to start numbering posts for fear of getting to number 2 then never writing another one again. But it’s Friday, I woke up at 5:30 to work out, it’s actually 0 degrees outside and I’m tired, so I don’t have enough brain power to come up with a more creative title.  I guess I’m also feeling blunt.  Let’s get to some confessions.

I confess to singing this song all week. 

Joey has not appreciated it.  Especially since, before this week, I’d never heard it so I really only know one line.  That I sing over and over and over.  Also, how creepy in this album cover?

I confess to being the only person in America to not watch the Sound of Music last night.

I grew up on the original — we owned the two VHS box set — and I see no reason to re-make it.  It’s perfect as is.  And for reasons that might be jealousy related, I just don’t really like Carrie Underwood.  I recorded it but I’m still feeling pretty bitter about the whole thing.

I confess to living off leftovers since last Wednesday.

Seriously, I haven’t cooked since then.  We knew our kitchen would be out of commission this whole week — and that was before our sink started leaking and we had to shut off the water — so we cooked up a storm last week and it’s been a lifesaver.

I confess to having to ask at least 5 family members/friends what they thought of my boots before deciding that I like them.

I confess to knowing all the words to the SNL “Christmas Time is Here” song.

And to watching the SNL Christmas Special every single year even though it’s basically the same skits.

I’m legitimately reading the Harry Potter series.

Again.  Watching bits and pieces of the HP marathon during Thanksgiving weekend + not being able to find where I packed my Kindle has resulted in me having my parents dig out my old collection.  And as it turns out, I’m still in love with the books.

I confess to having conversations like this with Joey.

For the record, he was changing into his basketball clothes before his game on Tuesday.

I confess to voluntarily watching part of Christmas Vacation.

No matter what everyone else says, I just don’t love it.  Sorry.  But in the name of the holiday spirit, I turned it on on Monday night.

I confess to buying a new fridge and range that was so not in our budget for the house.

It was too good a deal to pass up!  Merry Christmas to us!
