1. I like to watch Mean Girls and pretend it's still 2004 and that Lindsay remains gorgeous, innocent, and sweet. Same with The Parent Trap and 1998.
2. Both the amount of food I eat and the amount I weigh are super embarrassing. I know this because on the rare occasion I do reveal my weight to someone, they always gasp and say something along the lines of, "No, that can't be right!" I can't help it. I have a huge appetite and never really feel satisfied. I'm chowing down on a whole wheat pita topped with Nutella and granola as we speak.
3. I finished all of my Valentines yesterday, but the truth is that I didn't send to all of my friends. And it's NOT because I don't love them, but for several other reasons. a) I'm trying to be more cash conscious and b) I tried to send only to the people who in return always make an effort to send mail to me, whether it be a holiday card or a thank you note. Right or wrong, in my mind, those will appreciate a Valentine the most and why send to someone who probably doesn't really care or mind either way?
4. It kind of irks me when people use Twitter solely as a platform to complain. Geez Louise, say something positive! You'll feel better.
5. At the all-girls Superbowl party I was at, we changed the channel to Animal Planet during the commercials. The screen read "Puppy Bowl VI" and I yelled out "PUPPY BOWL FOUR!!!". One of my closest girl friends was sitting next to me and she said, "Or, Puppy Bowl SIX". The room erupted in laughter. I'm bad at Roman Numerals!
6. I hold grudges. I wish I didn't but I have a hard time letting go.
7. I like being single. There, I said it. I love taking up the whole bed (gasp if you must, but I lived with a boyfriend once and know what it's like to share a bed with someone every single night WITHOUT being married) and doing things my way. BUT, I love being in love and miss it. And I hate dating. Yes, this has and will continue to pose a problem.
8. On the same note, I was having dinner with a dear friend last week and she casually mentioned that she sort of stumbled upon said ex-boyfriend's wedding website. We had a good laugh about it and I then shrugged and said, "What can I do? I wish them the best." WHOA, even I was surprised to hear those words come out of my mouth. But I meant it! I guess I don't always hold grudges. (EDIT: For the record, NO, I have not looked at the wedding website and I most certainly don't plan on it. Ignorance is bliss to me, my friends.)
9. I LIVE for Girls Night Out and have trouble being friends with girls who feel the opposite.
10. This one is sort of embarrassing. Several months ago, I stopped blow drying my hair. I shower at night, let it air dry, sleep on it, and Chi it in the morning. I know, how lazy can I get, right? But the thing is, I've been styling my hair since I was 14 (before then I made one of my parents blow dry it for me - confession ten point five!) and after ten years of endless hours every week acting as a slave to my tresses, I got tired. This way it's only exposed to half the heat damage, and I spend much less than half of the time on it. And hey, it still looks pretty decent, and most importantly, healthy!
What will you confess today?
A few things:
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear I'm not the only lazy person who showers at night, neglects blow drying, and CHIs in the morning. My arm can only take so much styling.
Puppy Bowl? Love it. Who cares about the Roman numerals? You were clearly distracted by the abounding cuteness.
Good for you about the wedding website. I've seen so many of my friends hold onto unhealthy bitterness. It takes way more energy to hold a grudge than to let go. It's also way easier said than done; I'm also guilty of being a notorious grudge holder.
As for the Twitter thing, I wholeheartedly agree and I'd extend it to all social media. Yes, we know it's cold and snowy and you hate traffic and terrible drivers and dread Valetine's Day, but the more you say it, the more you wallow.
Whew. That was long.
I'm with you on the no blow drying. I used to blow dry my hair every.single.day. before work. Now I wash my hair at night, let it air dry, and sleep in! Thank goodness for good hair straighteners!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I feel the same way with Twitter. Saying you're upset or something is okay but when its every time people start avoiding you.
ReplyDeleteA few comments... I stopped blow drying my hair as well... its better for your hair.. but I also stopped straightening it... second, I have come across my ex's wedding site before I was engaged and I thought "thats her problem now"... see youre going to winter ball!! hope we can hang out :) xxoo
ReplyDeleteFor the hair thing, I just started doing almost the same thing! I shower at nights, brush it, and roll it in a clip to sleep in then blow dry in the morning. This way, it stays wet enough that I can blow dry instead of chi so even less damage. Luckily my hair is fine (but theres LOTS of it) and not super curly.
ReplyDeleteRegarding #1 -- since 2004, I have worn something pink every Wednesday (even including one hospital trip -- pink undies). It is one of the few constants in my life.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your super sweet comment! What a great list! My confession- I have inside jokes with myself! ;) xo
ReplyDeleteHa ha. I love your confession about your hair. My mom would blow dry my hair evry morning until I was in high school.
ReplyDeleteYour very strong not to go and look at your ex's wedding site. I'm not that strong. I took a look, and felt such a relief. That poor girl he is marrying is going to have to put up with him now.
Number 9 is my favorite!!! Sometimes you just gotta leave the guys at home ;-) I'm not a fan of co-dependent girls. It's a bit of a friendship turn off.
