Friday Confessions
I confess that today's my first attempt at running 3 miles straight. I'm pretty nervous about it, but I gave my music playlist a makeover last night, so I'm hoping the new tunes will help me get through it.
I confess that even though I know it's really bad for me, I run better when I drink a cup of coffee 1-2 hours before I run.
I confess that I was really disappointed in last night's "Marriage Ref." I feel like they picked the best issues for their first episode as a hook, and that it won't be nearly as funny in any future episode.
Re: Friday Confessions
I am leaving for FL in the morning!! I am sooo super beyond excited that I can't even focus on work today my mind is already at the beach!
I confess that I have been going to the gym religiously 3-4 times a week since January and I am feeling great! But I am going to be gone all week next week and I am actually going to miss going to my workout classes! So my alternative is to try and run in the mornings on the beach atleast 3 days while I am there.
I confess that after I return from my me mini vaca that I have a huge dentist appt and I am SCARED to death! I have dentist phobia and I haven't slept good since I made the appt I keep having terrifying dentist dreams! EEEKK!
Alonda - are you getting work done at the dentist? If so, express your fears/nerves because a lot of the time they will give you something to calm down prior to just having the numbing shot (like gas, or even medicine - depending on what they are doing to you). A lot of dentists also now have headphones where you can listen to music or watch tv so it helps to calm you down. I would def. tell them your concerns - you are not the only one who feels that way at the dentist so they may be able to help you out.
I met with the dentist already and I am actually having sedation dentistry done so I will be sedated but its just the time leading up to it gets me all jacked up! Like my blood pressure is out of the roof just when I get off the phone with them!! But the dentist I am going to specializes in people with phobias so she does everything she possibly can to make you feel comfortable. But between now and then is the problem I just have so much anxiety over that I'll be all jacked up until its over!!!
Coffee drinker?If not, start. If you are, drink more.
Works for me!
MY BLOG!
My husband and I made cookie dough last night cause my sweet tooth was going nuts. Guess what I had for breakfast? Just a spoonful or two....although I could have eaten the whole bowl.
I'm a little excited for the Oscars. I'm not much of an award show watcher, but I can't wait to see the fashions and the winners. Oh, I have seen very few of the nominated movies....waiting for RedBox to them
I confess that I want to work this weekend like I want a hole in my head. I am not a lover of my job at the best of times but working until midnight on the weekend makes me insane!!!
I also confess that I was up a pound yesterday at weigh in. I had a cold and just ate all the comfort food I could get my hands on. I also went for wings the night before and didn't excersize at all!!! Must get back on the wagon.
I confess that after work I am about to go to MAC and drop some cash. As well as shopping this weekend.
I also confess that I really don't want to go to Bridal Shower on Sunday. I love the bride but we aren't close, our DHs went to college together. I feel like she won't even notice if I'm not there because it is a huge shower! And I'd rather sleep in and go shopping and fiddle in my "garden". I'm such a bad person...I know...
Haha funny you should ask. I'm typically not but yesterday I had one and I had SO.MUCH.energy! Could be why
Normally my friend and I get coffee before work on Fridays and even today I'm not feelin it. But man, yesterday I think they put crack in my coffee.
Ha- my mom is going to that shower too and is dreading it. She's going since she's friends with Matt's mom (neighbors) but she doesn't know the bride very well either. She said she was worried it's going to be huge, plus she's going to buy a gift this afternoon and all of the "mid range" gifts are gone off the registry already. Sidenote- Did you and hubby figure out what you're going to do about his job?
I confess that I REALLY need to do laundry and clean today, but I have absolutely no motivation. Our house is a wreck but I've been busting my butt on work things so I haven't gotten around to it. I feel guilty about it since I'm home.
I also confess that I'm still trying to lose weight, and I really need to count my WW points, but I just don't care. Last night DH and I got double cheese burgers and blizzards for dinner (DQ has their blizzards on sale). And it was SO good!
I confess that I'm really tired today, but I have to work for a few hours this evening and I really need to clean some stuff up in the house. The nights that DH has off are the nights that I work until 8, and when I get home we catch up on our DVRed shows and I don't do any house work. The nights he works he goes in at 7 so I have all night to clean and get things orderly before bed. So the nights where he is home I wake up grumpy knowing that: a. the house isn't as clean as it should be because I watched TV instead
b. I'm going to be extra tired because I stay up later on the nights he is home since its the most time we spend together during the week
c. I know he is going to go around the house making things messy since he has the following day off. :S
It's just repetitive and frustrating, but it nice to confess that it drives me nuts!!
HA! That's funny you know what I'm talking about. I know her shower is going to be HUGE, I just know it. I'm just not in the mood. I was just going to give her a gift card and mail it to her.
I confess I wish I could be a SAHW- not mom, just wife. I like cooking, baking, gardening, even cleaning and laundry so much more than work. I feel so much more productive after a day of getting things around the house than I do after a day at the office.
And along the dentist phobia lines...
I confess I have a doctor's appt the 16th and I'm already terrified there will be needles involved. DH had offered to come with me, but I told I'd be a big girl and go by myself (it's near my work, almost an hour and a half from his) but I really want to take that back, I don't think I can handle it!!
I confess that the boss needs to go on vacation RIGHT NOW. He went out to lunch with one of his friends today and called 3 times to come up with more "projects" for us to (not) do while he's away. I'm really tired of last minute emergencies.
I confess that someone brought peanut M&M's in to the office and they're kind of like crack. I just can't stop eating them, which is probably part of why:
I confess that even though I've been working *really* hard at working out and logging what I eat, the scale hasn't moved at all. I can blame TOM a little, but it's really discouraging.

Totally agree!!! DH and I like to freeze them. The frozeness adds something to the crack-like experience!
EDIT: ... oh... sorry..... I thought you said peanut butter M&M's. THOSE are my crack. Peanut M&M's are more like a quick fix. ; P
I confess that today was my boss's last day at work before she goes on vacation for the next two weeks and all day I kept hoping she wouldn't come to my office to give me projects to work on. Unfortunately, she did. Drat.
I also confess that DH's car club is having their annual banquet tomorrow night and I really don't want to go. Dinner and drinks with 45 men and their spouses really doesn't appeal to me right now.
Final confession: I need to wash clothes before Monday and I really don't want to. We need a house keeper.
