confessions:five

I leave for Belgium in about a week. The only things I know I am doing there is staying in hotels- I haven’t planned a single site to see, a museum to visit, a place to eat. Definitely way under prepared to go.

I do not like Facebook as means of communication –it’s too impersonal for me. I deleted my full account over a year ago and set up one that I do very little with, and it works for me.  Why even have an account? I’ve had to coordinate rides for races and things like that with people I only know through my gym – that’s what made me get a new account.

Currently loving on Luke Bryan – I could listen to that man every day all day long. He’s also fairly easy on the eyes.

My most popular post ever is “ I hate boats”… perhaps the title draw people in? I’ve never had a post read over 100 times before this one.

Almost daily at work, I leave a cup outside the bathroom, get all the way back to my desk and have to go back for my drink. I don’t think I’ll ever remember that I got a refill on my water or tea ever.

confessions: four

I try to live by the rule, Book before Movie. I always like to see how my ideas line up with the movie – would I have made a better movie then the director?

My savings accounts must be divisible by 5. This means that I true up my accounts after each monthly interest accrual. It drives me bonkers otherwise. This is part of loving finance and being a little bit crazy.

Wet shoes make me a cranky pants, but I have ample calves – rain boots I am trying to find you. Would love to know why boots don’t have calve circumferences as an option.

Not too long ago, I fell asleep with my contact lenses in, but didn’t realize it. I then proceeded to put a second pair successfully in my eyes – and thought my vision was just a bit blurry until 3PM when I thought maybe I’d just try to shift the contact in my eye – and found two in there.  Note to self, it’s not allergies, it’s just you being stupid.

I repeat things I know are going to stupid. Like drinking tea on an empty stomach, always makes me feel ill, yet I know I’ll do it again.

confessions:three

I love Colin Firth  and have loved him for the better part of fifteen years. He’s much older than me, but that adds to his appeal.

I worry about my parents a lot – the older we all get, I feel like the roles reversed on who’s better suited to make the decisions – sometimes.

I cannot sleep if the closet door is open. That’s how the boogey man gets into your room (I saw Monsters Inc.) and I am not taking any chances.

Sometimes, I go to the gym just for the company of other humans.  Life gets busy that sometimes this is one of the ways I connect.

I love old people candy – think of what would be in your grandmother’s candy dish and I am in (except the freedent gum). Cinnamon disks, lemon drops,  hard caramels –  it’s on like donkey kong.

confessions:two

If I haven’t hit my steps goal on my fitbit by the time I get home at night, I march in place until I do. I don’t let myself go to bed until I’ve walked my 10,000 steps.

I wonder if I’ll ever meet someone and get married to him. Sometimes this consumes me, other times I know I am living the best life I can right now.

My favorite childhood book is Jacob, I Have Loved by Katherine Patterson. I stole my copy from my sixth grade teacher because I couldn’t bear the thought of parting with it. I still read this at least once a year.

I am still bitter about never being in a musical in high school. I never even made the chorus, and I was in the middle school musicals.

I hate oatmeal, but occasional try to force myself to love it. I’ve come to the conclusion that having to add peanut butter, bananas and chocolate chips means I should just have dessert instead.

confessions:one

I not so secretly love One Direction. I am way too old to love 1D, but I really enjoy the songs.  The Story of My Life – it feels like my heart is beating along in time as the boys sing to me.

My pedicure wears off on the middle toe always. I’ll have full polish on all my other toes, but the middle toe will just be naked. It’s really weird.

Sometimes for dinner, I’ll eat two string cheese pieces and that’s it. I don’t always want to make food, and that’s easy and cheesy.

The Little Mermaid makes me cry (the movie). I don’t like that she has to give up her family for love, so when she hugs her dad good bye, I lose it.

I hate activities that involve boats. You cannot leave a boat a sea and it makes me feel trapped.
