Thursday Confessions
c'mon in if you have something to confess.

Re: Thursday Confessions
I am shallow enough to admit that office eye candy actually does put me in a better mood. The cutie intern is here today and when he smiles at me it really does perk up my day, as he's only part time and only here certain days. I just love his name, too.... "Santiago". I hope they hire him on permanently after his internship is over, I will miss him if he leaves.
-- Thoughts become things, choose the good ones! --
I'm turning off my phone this weekend and I'm pretty excited.
It's just for the weekend, but I get distracted easily and to be honest I just don't want to talk to anyone. I want one weekend of just me/husband/house time.
I've never really thought much of Gavin DeGraw. I like his music, but I've never thought about him any further than "I like this song".
I've got a little crush on him now.
On Dancing With the Stars he is just so cute, and vulnerable, and sweet, and goofy! I justify my crush by saying that I really like his reason for being on the show.
I confess that I'm super jealous of some of the ladies on the travel board who get to go on all of these exotic vacations.
I would absolutely love to travel more, but the usual stuff gets in the way (money, job, responsibilities, blah blah blah). I received a big catalog in the mail the other day from this company that offers group vacations to places all over the world and I was looking through it and got so depressed because I know that I can't go on any of them, at least not for a couple of years. Pity party for one please.
I told H that I was super motivated to clean the house today, but all I've done is get a pedi and watch reruns of Real Housewives of New Jersey. And I don't plan on doing anything else!
The past few weekends have worn me out and I'm just savoring this relaxation time.
You're blonde, no explanation needed
well I tried to talk about naked maids and had some humorous Mona Lisa spoof photos, so I did try to steer it away from that.
Another confession, I went to get gas at lunch time and was thirsty so I got a cherry Icee. I didn't need one, I had a soda at work, but I got it anyway and it is delicious. I feel like I am 12 years old again.
I cannot stand Jennifer Hudson. At all. I always pause the WW commercials so I can fast forward and not have to hear her sing.
On the subject of AI singers, I have an unexpected crush on Colton now especially after his performance last night when he played piano. I normally HATE the fauxhawk hair 'dos and all of that but I don't know what it is that makes me look past that with him. He's almost as cute as the intern, but the fact that he can sing and play piano that smoothly... oh my! **fans herself**
Possibly flame worthy:
I'm angry with my grandparents. They are essentially killing themselves. They don't want to exercise, they don't want to eat well. Both have diabetes (only the grandfather makes efforts) and eats high sugar foods - like cake, regular soda, cookies, etc (WITHIN ONE DAY).
I'm SO frustrated. I've TRIED to get them to do things. Yes, it hurts, that's because you're out of shape and have been for 40 years. Yes, you have arthritis - swimming is low impact. You can do it.
I even offered to pay for a YMCA membership just down the road AND offered to pay the gas difference.
The only thing I haven't done is get a cattle prod and force them to do it. I even offered to do it with them.
I feel like they're being selfish at this point (or maybe I am) but they're not so old that they can't do anything or that it's a waste of time.
.../rant.
I'm sorry :-( I don't have any advice...we went through this with both my FIL's parents. GFIL was dying of mesothelioma but wouldn't stop smoking. GMIL had diabetes but would go a whole day without eating. It was exhausting for the whole family to be worried about them all the time.
