Confessions
Happy hump day, y’all! I’m feeling kinda uninspired lately so I thought I would get some things off my chest and link up with Melissa for some confessions. Here I go…
I confess…
We’ve lived in our house for almost five years and I’ve never cleaned the windows. I’ve also used the same pillow case since I was in college.
I’m a cry-er. Like really bad. Movies, TV shows, commercials…it doesn’t matter. And if an animal dies? I bawl like baby.
I have really bad depth perception. After nailing my head on my desk one day, a coworker asked me how I drive with such bad perception. So I had to let her {and now you} in on a little secret that while I’ve never wrecked my car moving, I’ve lost count of the number of parked cars I’ve hit. I’ve hit the car of every person in my immediate family. No one is safe!
If I believed in past lives, I’d definitely would have been a rapper in the 90s.
Every morning, while towel drying my hair, Hampton still plays with and tugs at the towel like a puppy. It pulls at my heartstrings, y’all. Speaking of Hampton, I follow way too many cavalier accounts on Insta. It’s a tad bit crazy.
I’m a procrastinator. Always have been, always will be. No matter how much I plan for my blog, I’m still gonna be working on the post the night before it goes live.
I pride myself on getting my laundry done in as few loads as possible.
Coincidentally {or not} our last washing machine broke because it was overloaded. #oops
Last night was the first time that I had to quit in the middle of my C25K run. My back was sore, my ears were hurting, the dogs were pulling me all over the track so I said “forget it. I’m going home”.
And a few things that drive me bonkers…
To hear someone hum or whistle. If you wanna make noise, just sing.
When restaurants give you a whole lotta ice and not a lotta drink. Excuse me but I’d like some Dr. Pepper with my cup of ice.
When people {mostly anyone other than our close family and friends} ask me if 1. I’m pregnant when I say anything at all is wrong with me or 2. ask when I’m planning on having children. How do you know I’m not already trying? Or that I even want kids?

As a sighthound doggy mom, my instagram is filled with greyhounds and ibizian hounds, ONLY. I’m such a dog snob. I can’t help my bias.

I’ve always wanted a CAVALIER, they’re precious! You aren’t alone, in April we’ve lived in our house 6 years and the windows have never been washed…
Joey

I talked about procrastination myself today #twinsies
I so laughed out loud about the depth of perception &that GIF.. that made my afternoon
Oh my gosh… forget it – when an animal dies… I cant even … my husband has actually NOT let me watch movies before when he knows an animal has died. I have walked out of a movie before when a dog was abused… seriously
Kristen

Jessica

Maggie@ Polka Dots in the Country
We’ve been here for almost two years and I have yet to clean the windows and if an animal dies in a movie I’m more upset about the horse the guy is riding on getting hurt than the guy, it’s always so sad!
I’m right there with you with the hummers and whistler, and if someone is chewing loud enough for me to hear it… oh girl, I can’t.
biana @ Blovedboston
oh my gosh you had me giggling!! I can’t believe your depth perception – at least you didn’t hit the people in your IMMEDIATE family! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston

So funny and entertained.

I never used to be a cryer, but now I am. I sometimes even tear up during previews of movies….SMH.
Katelyn @ Real Housewife of Greenville
Your confessions had me laughing! I had cleaned my windows periodically but never realized just how yucky they were until we moved – and I realized I had the kind of windows that tilt in so you can clean the them easier. Duh. The gif you had when you talked about hitting parked cars and how no one is safe…omg – confession: I nearly peed myself! Hope you get your mojo back soon. I’ve had a crazy week too…Let me know if you find the reset button!

It has been a long time since i have a read a post that made me laugh this hard! Thank you! P.s. I used to hate when people did the pregnancy thing oR the when are you going to haVe kids thing. I especially hated it when we ended up having ferti lity issues and it took us 2.5 years to get pregnant. It should not be something that people are allowed to ask *stepS off soapbox*. Thanks for the great post!

Oh these just cracked me up! I totally agree about the whole “kids” thing! That’s why Michael and I kept it a secret from EVERYONE that we even planning on starting to try. We even went as far as telling people that we didn’t plan on having kids until our dogs die because they were too much like our kids for now and we didn’t want to take that away from them. Ha! I’ve lived in Michael’s house for the last 3 years and I’ve never cleaned these windows either… oooops! I think us folks that grew up in the 90’s just have a natural knact for knowing all the rap songs! Haha! :)
Julie Joy
Gaaaah! I just typed a long ass comment and the page froze! Stupid stupid stupid. But I did laugh at your confessions. I’ll just keep it at that. :)

I procrastinate badly, too. Ask Justin. It tries him ever so, but he is sweet enough not to say it. :) Maybe it is all in the name. Don’t suppose we can toss the blame to our mothers, huh? :) As for the pregnant question, as badly as my mother has wanted grandbabies for, hmmm, like forever, she was surprisingly quiet after Justin and I got married. She never asked and I never told because really it is so incredibly personal. As for our friends, other family members, and coworkers we were asked almost weekly when and if. I HATeD that question, so I can feel you on this one. I know people mean it to be a fun, exciting question, but it stings if you are trying and it is uncomfortable whether you are or aren’t yet. It’s just definitely a husband/wife conversation topic we realized. :)
