Is it seriously Thursday already? Holy moses time has just flown this week. Each day I have been tackling my work to do list along with visiting all three BUILD classes (at three separate schools). I’m pooped. But it is time to rally because tomorrow I head to the wedding. It has been a while since I did some confessions.
Confession… I have yet to pack for the wedding. Whoops, bridesmaid fail. I also may or may not have even fixed the straps on my dress that need some mending. Another fail.
Confession… I took on more than I needed to this week. I felt so bad about missing some of the morning with my doctors appointment so I asked if my co-workers needed help on their training of mentors (mine is in two weeks). Well, that meant an epic email with more to do tasks. It did make me feel good though to lend a hand. Brown noser at its best.
Confession… my dad bought me some watermelon (what a stud) yet I haven’t even touched it. I really know I am feeling off when I don’t even crave watermelon. Tummy heal itself because this Alex is whack.
Confession… I am applying for a second job. This will be a real job but fully remote. I know you think I am crazy but having more money stability especially after receiving the three student loans I owe would be so nice. I am speaking with the lady in the next few days so crossing my fingers it all works out. I am in for a busy year to say the least if this works out.
Confession… I have been popping out of my bed for my morning runs even earlier than normal despite it being so dark out. I love the morning time, did I mention that?
Confession…after I wrote that post yesterday I breathed for the first time this week. For real. It felt good to get that out there and really set my intentions for this weekend. Ironically, right after I hit publish I got a message from someone I stay far away from. Instead of flipping out, I laughed at it. Ignored it, laughed at it and just hit delete. Felt oh so good. Don’t put the nasty in your life.
Confession… I am counting down the days to Thanksgiving. Man I miss home.
Confession… my super classy pee in a bush off of a main road (Connecticut Avenue) was not the first time, or even close to the first time. When I have to go I have to go and no way will I be able to hold it for the miles I do.
Confession… I am a terrible blogger and have no pre-planned blogs for this weekend. Probably won’t even be able to blog. Aka no Saturday snack attack. Don’t hate me, I will be back Monday I promise. Sunday when I get back will be a huge catch up day.
Confession… I sometimes wonder about people who read my blog, who know me in real life, who don’t comment and what they think. I guess I will never know.
Confession… DC is full of some interesting people. Like the man who screams and chants Hispanic voodoo at 7 am each morning as he walks down Connecticut Avenue, or the lady who rides her razor skooter in a dress each morning to the metro… I could go on. City life is never boring.
Question: What is your Thursday confession?
You haven’t eaten you watermelon yet!?! At least you will have it to look forward to when you get back! Have a fun weekend and enjoy yourself!!
I know, let’s hope I feel better and actually want it.This is the longest one has lasted in my hands. I am impressed and scared at the same time.
Have a fabulous time at the wedding
I hope your tummy starts feeling better soon!
Me too, thank you!
Don’t worry about the pee in the bush. We are runners here, nothing is completely TMI. Or, just have kids, then really nothing is TMI (no kids here, but I did coach some really young kids so I have a little experience). You’re not a terrible blogger at all, don’t even worry about not having “pre-planned posts”- I never do that, LOL. Good luck with the wedding and job hunting!
Thanks girl, I am glad I have some support from a fellow runner. We do have a lot of tmi stories among us all.
Confesson … I’m still having trouble letting go of some of my food apprehensions. I miss cereal. It’s going to be my next treat. I’m also going to try to challenge a bagel before the end of the month (big deal for me …).
Confession … I’m proud of the food steps I’ve taken so far. I’m loving my Teddy Grahams and pistachios more than I ever thought I would.
Confession … I’m totally addicted to blogging. #noshame
Confession … I left work nearly 20min early today. #sorrysonotsorry (I was a zombie when I walked out of that building)
Confession … I’m afraid to be social this weekend.
Confession … I think you’re fabulous and I’m going to miss you a lot over the weekend. You know where to find me if you need to send out a quick rant. I’ll always be there.
I hope you have cereal,I know it can be a fear but it is quite delicious. You should try first doing like the single serving packs they sell at CVS or any drug store. So you don’t have to commit to a whole box. Just a suggestion. I think you should be social this weekend, everyone will just love seeing your personality shine out. Addicted to blogging is my middle name.
Confession … I’m contemplating not speaking to anyone all weekend. Just me. Alone. I need some relaxation time.
Confesssion … I just got out of bed 25 minutes ago. I have to be at work in 15. Not gonna look so hot today.
Confession … I just spilled my breakfast all over my keyboard. What else is new?!
Oh gosh rough morning much? I am taking that kind of weekend next weekend and I can’t wait for it. I need it!
I hear ya on having more money stability!!! I usually take on a consulting job in addition to my full-time job just for more money. Your happiness comes first though so keep that in mind hun!
Ummm and WHY are you such a morning person? Will you teach me? Seriously, it would be life-changing!!!
Well I wish I had some sort of night owl skills, I want to be in bed by 10 every night even on a weekend. No fun for socializing! I have to see if the job will work out, still trying to get the details.
I am just waiting for the day where I feel stable monetarily! I have been relying on student loan money more than I would like to admit! Eek!
I know, i can’t wait for that day either.
I’ve also been waking up earlier than usual for my runs… must just be the season haha– emailing you the tea now!
it is a great time to get up earlier, not too chilly in the am at all. Thank you!
My confession: I’ve worn the same pair of jeans for the past 4 days…my bad
. Enjoy the wedding!
happens to the best of us… I have been there way too many times. I wear the same dress sometimes twice a week. whoops.
Packing early is overrated!
My confession? ummm… I’m actually a little excited to get to do real cardio now… and I’m thinking of running a 5k this fall. Eek
You should do it! I am glad you at least like the new plan, always a good thing. Couldn’t agree more, who really packs early?
I’m leaving this weekend for a wedding and I too have no pre-planned blog posts and I haven’t packed. Oh, and I really really want it to be Thanksgiving! Have a good weekend!
Let’s just fast forward time!
Good luck with the job application!! I’m sure you’ll do great!
I hope so! I hope it isn’t a long process.
I’m a morning person too! Early-exercisers unite
And I don’t even run long distances and I still won’t hesitate to pee in a bush. When you gotta go, you gotta go 
I have to confess, I’m eating a salad with my fingers right now, because I believe and always have believed that lettuce should be finger food. I’m pure class 
Finger food is always the best food. Love that you are an early riser exerciser as well! I swear we are not crazy.
Have a blast at the wedding and good luck with this job application! My confession: I’m supposed to be throwing a bachelorette party for my sister in less than a month, and haven’t done anything yet. I’m pretty sure that makes me a terrible maid of honor! Gotta get on that.
Oh man I would hate to be responsible to plan something like that, i would be bad at that! Good luck with it.
First of all. That watermelon picture… I just can’t. I kind of want it blown up and framed on my wall. Not lying.
Second, can we get matching razor scooters and zip around DC (you’re not allowed to say no)
It made me laugh too! I died. Um I will do that. As long as we get matching helmets. Yes, that is key. Oh and yours needs a little cart for your dog on the back. I went there.
DC, and any city, are indeed full of fantastic interesting folks! I love people watching when I’m in a city. People watching in the suburbs ain’t too exciting.
It sounds like you’re taking on a LOT girl. You sound way overwhelmed but applying for another job?! Be careful and keep your stress-reducers nearby!
I hope your time between now and going home again flies by. It seems like you so enjoy it!
You are so sweet Cait, ya I am still asking around for more details because that is a big concern for me. We will have to see what they say about it. cities are amazing for people watching. Couldn’t be more true.
You haven’t eaten your watermelon yet?? Who are you.. and where did my lovely Alex go??
I still can’t get over you peeing in a bush. It seriously has me rolling everytime you mention it!! The greatest part about it is that you have no shame whatsoever!!
boo.. I’m going to miss you tons while i’m away!!
I know, the peeing story just is epic. I was freaking out with that raccoon. The thought of eating just sickens me now, so forced. Yuck, I want my watermelon love back! Now! You better have a blast and soak up sun for this ghost right here.
i’ll need to soak up all the sun i can because I’m looking like a ghost too. You’d think I’d be tan having a beach behind our apartments, and it being hot here.. but truth is it’s too fucking hot lol
Thursday confession – I am sitting here goofing off pretending to work and really just jamming out to my pandora! Definitely ready for the weekend! No shame in not blogging on wknds either. I like to take those days off so I will have something to talk about on Monday
So true, I mean I don’t have that much exciting stuff to not hold up for a few days. Love that you are just jamming out, way to go.
Aw you must really not feel good to skip out on watermelon! I hope your tum tum feels better soon
I agree.. Keep the nasty out of your life. That simple concept has been huge for me!
I am glad you have found that out too, I know I feel stronger to do it. I can’t believe how sick I feel, i hope something is answered soon.
I am NOT liking how dark it is earlier!! Boo!!!!
I know! For all us early birds it really is a drag.
I love this blog post. I actually took on way too much and keeping the crap out of my life has been doing me wonders!
I think it has made a world of a difference, I keep taking that crap and removing it as well.
Get that watermelon into you!
I hope you have a blast this weekend. I love city life as well… People are crazy! Love that pic of you and your mum and sis. Such strong family resemblance.
We do all look so much alike it is crazy. I know, I wish I felt better because that watermelon would be appealing.
I really think I like pooping because I keep thinking you’re saying I pooped. that boy with the watermelon. haha can’t stop laughing. good luck with your second job hunt. that sounds super tiring! haha as for the friend reading your blog thing … did they find out through you or other people? I sometimes wonder too if they’re reading or not. but I’ve only told three people. I never know if others have found me and never said anything.
I mean they both would apply with all my stomach issues. Tmi? I have no idea how many people find out, I think it is just through twitter if someone tweets at me about my blog.
yeah … I never connected my blog to twitter so I don’t get a lot of followers. I don’t want my friends reading my stuff. :/ unless they find it any other way, that’s different. idk .. I’m scared.
Do not run through Rock Creek Park!! If you must run at dark make sure you have pepper spray and are running in populated areas. DC is not as safe as it seems and I don’t want anything to happen to you. End of lecture.
Money stability is always nice but don’t take on too much. If you are too busy working, you’re not living and your early 20s is a great time to continue to explore beyond work. Money easily becomes a trap: the more you earn, the more you want to earn. Since graduation from college, the happiest I’ve been was when I was living paycheck to paycheck in a crappy apartment with two roommates.
Enjoy your weekend
We’ll miss you but you need to have some fun!
No, I have never run there. I run on the main roads or neighborhoods because I am scared of that area. Thanks for the advice, my mom said the same thing. I have to see what the job entails, I am still waiting on the details before I apply. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend yourself.
Haha, I always challenge myself to see how long I can hold it on runs. I understand the job thing – it must be tough. But don’t overdo it, girl! That could seriously make a huge damper on your time. Love this post though
Find a cute man at the wedding!
hehe we will have to see. I know I really just go when I have to because holding it is unbearable on the long runs.
have an awesome time at the wedding!
confession: i am seriously excited about having a completely anti-social weekend, so i’m glad you’re out there balancing that out with your social butterfly weekend. good luck with the old triggers, and i am looking forward to reading about your trip when you get back!
I wish I had your kind of weekend so enjoy it to the fullest! I will hopefully do a huge recap.
Love all your confessions! Have a great weekend!
Thank you! You too, enjoy the good weather.
I’d love to hear what non-commenters think…I have to wonder if it’s nice things (like the comments I’m managed to accumulate so far, thankfully no negativity yet) or if they just think I must be self-absorbed for assuming people care about my life.
And having to pee when you’re running = most uncomfortable thing ever.I’ve peed in more bushes, forests and cornfields than I care to admit
It is so true, running with a full bladder hurts. I always wonder what non commenters think, because I know on many blogs I am that non commenter.
If life was too easy and things came too easy to us, we would never learn how to appreciate what we have! Just a random thought that popped into my head. Confession: I think you’re great and I love your honesty!! Have a great weekend!
You are so sweet Irina, I love your advice. I already am having a blast.
