Sitting At The Cool Kid Table -- Confessions

I read all of these "Wednesday Confessions" posts every week and comment and stalk them, but since I usually write my posts the night before, I always forget to participate. Well guess what happened again today? I didn't write my post the night before.

So I decided to play with everyone else today and sit at the cool kid table. I now present to you.. (drum roll please).. My Wednesday Confessions.


..I ate honey nut cheerios from a mason jar at my desk at work this morning.

..I then drank the milk straight from the mason jar after the cheerios were gone.

..I didn't write a post last night because I had 5 tv shows on last night and 4 of them had their season finale. I was required to watch them.

..I get way too into my tv shows. Borderline and yet.. not so borderline obsessive.

..I didn't workout this morning. After yesterday's post, I kind of feel like a failure for it. And now I'm going to have to workout tonight and it's 9am and I'm already dreading it. #ijustwanttorunan11minutemile

..I stayed up really late on Monday night because I was watching old videos of myself in dance and show choir. I wasn't going to tell anyone, but..

..I just went to the linkup to see what other bloggers were confessing, hoping that it'd inspire a confession of my own, but instead I just got lost in Bloglandia and spent the last 30 minutes reading through everyone else's posts only to then realize "Hey! Kay! Finish your own damn post" So this is me, doing that now..

..I had corn on the cob for dinner last night. And on Monday night. And probably tonight. It's delicious.

..I'm running out of confessions. I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THIS.


Okay, I'm just gonna stop here.
But this was fun! Lots of fun.
Be prepared for next Wednesday, because I just got all kinds of ideas now.
Confession session to end all confession sessions.
I'll probably lose a follower or two.

Tough It Out Tuesday - The I Don't Love Working Out Edition

I'm late to my own link-up. It just figures.

I typically try to write my posts the night before. I don't always get that done, but I do usually try to get them down and scheduled so the next morning I can avoid what happened this morning. Tuesday and the TIOT posts are the only posts that I always write in the morning. It's just part of my Tuesday ritual and I don't have a good explanation for it.

Of course I stayed up really late last night for no good reason and then I'm having a really hard time breaking up with my snooze button. I probably hit snooze 10 times this morning and evidently my sleepy self got sick of it all together and just turned off my alarm entirely. Well that's nice and all, but then I kind of woke up on my own and looked at the clock and I had to make some decisions. This morning I needed to do 3 things.
1. Workout
2. Write my TIOT post
3. Shower
Yea, uhhhh.. Not all of those were going to get done in the time frame I had left. Because it's TIOT I felt like I couldn't NOT workout, right? So I went to the gym and made that happen.. Sorta. Then I came home and showered.. Sorta. Didn't wash my hair, because there was definitely not going to be enough time to actually do it, so I dry shampooed the shit out of it and now it looks like a bird's nest on top of my head. Oh, but I added a braided headband to make it look like I did attempt to look presentable today.

I had a whole post planned about water today..

Which is going to have to wait until next week, because right now I want to clear some things up and maybe voice an opinion or two..

First of all, I haven't fallen in love with working out. I really think some of you need to hear that because I feel like my TIOT posts lately have given the wrong impression. I don't hate working out, but I'd rather go get a cavity filled at the dentist than go to the gym. That isn't me being dramatic at all, that's me being honest. I want to love working out, though. Which is why I keep going and I keep trying.

I don't like being sweaty.
I don't like getting my heart rate up.
I don't like feeling like I can't breathe.
I don't like when my legs hurt.
I don't like doing "one more rep".
I don't like it. I just really don't.

I'm also back to working out and going to the gym as a solo act. My workout buddy doesn't like any of those things listed above either and honestly, I can only be so much motivation for someone. They either want it or they don't. She's decided that right now she doesn't want it all that much. Which is her decision and I pushed her to go an extra week with me, but it turns out that when I have to be someone's only form of motivation that I get frustrated and lose my own motivation. So as of the last 3 weeks, I'm alone.
...WHICH BLOWS.

I just wanted to get this off my chest because I could tell from some of the comments on the last few TIOT posts that it looks like I've totally got my shit together. I have none of my shit together. Zero shit together, sir. Some of the same things that have been frustrating you guys or things that are hard for you guys are the same for me!

I don't love working out, but I want to.

Monday Letters

Dear Mom,
I think you're pretty great. I'm glad we got to spend yesterday doing nothing together. Thank you for making me watch some classic movies, that I'm now a little obsessed with. Thanks for making that delicious alfredo pizza for dinner.. When are you making it again? PS. I love you.

Dear Water, 
I need to drink 100 ounces of you today. Yesterday I probably only had approximately 30 ounces of you and Saturday I probably only had 48 ounces. So today is going to be hard. Go easy on me.

Dear Planet Fitness,
I got to hear the lunk alarm for the first time today. It's really obnoxious. The woman next to me dropped her weights because it scared her. It's stupid. Please get rid of it or monitor it closer. Two punk kids messing around isn't what the lunk alarm is for. But it's stupid, so you should just get rid of it.

Dear Sunless Tanning Lotion,
You're stressing me out. Look, I want to be tan without going to a cancer bed. So all I need you to do is give me an even glow all over my body. You're not doing your job correctly. I want an even glow, heavy on the even. You aren't turning me orange though, so you get points for that.

Dear Harry Potter,
Guess who decided to re-read your entire series this summer? THIS GIRL. I'm quite excited about it because I haven't read the entire series in order for probably 6 or 7 years. Yea, too dang long.

Dear Monday,
Please be nice to me.

Manual Labor Playlist

Yea, you're at the right place. This is, in fact, The Best of Intentions. However, a sparkly little blog design fairy came yesterday and made things all brand new and pretty looking!
Kalyn is magnificent.

No, in all honesty, she's fabulous. You. Should. Have. Seen. the emails this girl received from me. I totally knew exactly what I wanted, except I didn't know what I wanted at all. Basically I was a typical woman. I don't know how she did it, but Kalyn just read my mind and made it happen and I'm SO IN LOVE with everything. I'm writing this really long paragraph about her now because I can't possibly recommend her enough! If you need a sparkly little blog design fairy, she's your girl.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now yesterday I took 3/4 of the day off work and went to my grandparents' house to do some yard work and mulching. It was the hottest day since last September and super windy. So I got sunburned and really dirty. Because I foresee quite a bit more outdoor manual labor in my immediate future, I thought I'd brighten it up with a playlist next time!

These are some songs I've been obsessing over lately and felt the obvious need to share and combine into a playlist. Perfect for pulling weeds, cleaning out gutters, planting flowers, spreading mulch, etc. etc. You are so very welcome.

This is my JAM. Listen to it at least 45 times a day!

How can you not love this song? Come on..

Totally discovered this song from Vine..

I am totally obsessed with this remix! LOVE it.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas out there!
