Friday Confessional A Tounge and a Grandma

We made it to Friday.

Hallelujah.

I'm ready for a cocktail or apricot ale, which is probably what I'll end up having.

Zoey is clearly ready for one too.

I am confessing to you all today, inspired by Leslie.

I CONFESS

Today I thought, oh shit I've almost had my drivers license for a decade (yes this is how my random brain functions) and I freaked out.

I'm going to a birthday party tomorrow, and I haven't picked up a gift yet.

I'll honestly probably grab something up on the way...Does that make me a non-thoughtful gift giver?

The above picture of Zoey though blurry, and not good makes me smile.  When dogs tongues are out they are happy. Her happiness is radiates.

Rockin' third day hair twice in one week has become my thing, and I am proud of it.

Two months ago I struggled to rock second day hair.

This week I had a huge personal struggle (cough min melt down, cough). I am not where I want to be with my fitness, and I am frustrated with myself for thinking that. I am working hard, staying positive, and doing the best I can.  Plus I'm in not out of shape--- Keep calm and run on.

I am up way past my bed time to watch Real House wives of OC, and nothing happened.

My grandma is kinda of awesome.

(If you followed me on instagram, you'd know why). See below.

P.S. She's 83, it's her first bike

 I've been having day dreams about this purse.

Not sure what I am going to do about them (the day dreams) and it (the purse).

I've had my camera for over six months, and still haven't taken the settings off Auto. I will be reading the manual and signing up for a class this weekend. No excuses.

Happy Friday.

TGIF.

P.S. This girl (I'm talking about me here) can't get enough of this song.

It's my booty. Or Maybe Ravens

Confessional Friday

It's Friday again, which is a surprise, because this week went by exceptionally fast, which on all counts is a win in my book.

I'm linking up with Leslie, for Confessional Friday.

So let's just start this off right.

I confess...

...I've eaten ice cream every single night this week, and I don't eve feel bad about it.  I know bathing suit season is coming here, but I haven't been able to resist it recently.

...G.I. Joe Retaliation was actually really good, but why is every single movie involving the destruction/take over of the nations capitol. Does that freak anyone else out, as much as it freaks me out? I'm not superstitious or anything, but jeez.

...I'm ready to have my dog back. I'd really like to just go break her out of doggie boot camp and bring her home like yesterday.

...We're finally getting a microwave after two years of not having one. This makes me feel like we are joining the 21st century.

...You're probably thinking we're weird for not having a microwave, and I'd agree with you. How does one make maple and brown sugar oatmeal without one?

The answer is: You Don't.

...I'm feeling a lack of creativity for SBSL. I'm thinking this weekend will inspire me.

I'm planning on taking my camera out and just walking around town.

Have a fabulous weekend!!!!

Vacation Confessions

I am linking with Leslie today for Friday Confessions.

....I'm currently on my first cruise, I am sure I am loving it.  I am pretty sure I am in my bathing suit, looking something like this...

Circa April 2012- Zihuatanejo, Mexico

....with a hand muddled cocktail in my hand, because those are my favorites.

...I am getting more freckly as we speak, and I LOVE it!!!

...My vacation is coming to an end, and it's making me sad, but please don't feel too bad for me, we were looking at cool things like this the entire time.

...I was a little hesitant to blow through so many vacation days in one week, but this trip was TOTALLY worth it!!!

...It's going to be so hard to go back to reality aka work in a five short days.

I Confess....Female Balls????

So I Confess...

So most of us ladies only have a two things they identify as balls on our bodies
- our eyeballs to be exact.

But that's just wrong, And boring.

Because we have three pairs of balls.

Eyeballs, earballs, and kneeballs.

And there you have it folks, 'Kaylin-isms'
 
Colorado circa 2007 with TONS of powder.

Eyeballs.
Standard, self explanatory.

Kneeballs.
 This saying was born during this ski trip in Colorado. After the longest day skiing at Vail, I sat down for an Irish coffee or two (or three) and said, "My kneeballs hurt."
Which is when the boys asked me what the heck a 'kneeball' was.
I really didn't know it had come out of my mouth, or why, but I had clearly meant simply 'knees'.

Earballs.
I can't remember when this term was 'coined', but I have a feeling it's because it's a word that is the same amount of letters at eye and it starts with the same letter, and it too is located on one's head, and so by deductive reasoning, it seemed logical.

And if you were all wondering this is what I will be doing this weekend.
Skiing with my brother.
For the first and last time of the season.
I'm excited because I'll be skiing with him, but...

...I confess he is way better than me (he was born with more 'natural grace' than I was) and he only skis once every other year. How is this fair???

You're right, it's not.

Happy Weekend
P.S. Thanks to A Blonde Ambition for a great link up!!!

I Confess: Target Withdrawls and a Missing Tan

Spending another Friday with A Blonde Ambition for some confessions!!!!

I confess...

....the best part of Safe Haven was sitting in theatre watching Josh Duham's sexiness, knowing that he is passing his genes along.  Does Fergie (Fregilisious) know how lucky she is????

...Julianne Hough's body is amazing.  Is it weird that for about half three quarters of the movie I was drooling over her legs butt arms everything.  Congratulations Ryan Seacrest, she bangin'.

...I drink three standard size Nalgene bottles a day, and only was it once a week. Call me gross, and see what happens...Hey at least I am hydrated!

...I ordered one of those stick on bras from Amazon, and it had a note from the seller, turn out he's a dude. It freaked me out a bit, but hey for $4.99 I'll take it Michael Zhang. (It's new folks, don't go thinkin' I bought a used one.) 

 

...I found pictures from this trip on my camera's memory card. It made me miss these girls, blonde hair, and my tan from Mexico.

...I didn't got to Target this weekend, and I haven't been all week.  This is longest I have been without stepping a foot in a Target in months or probably even years.  My bank account is thanking me, although I did see these, and might need to make a stop. If I buy them, they are for our trip.

...Chipped finger nail polish REALLY REALLY REALLY (that's the equivalent to a triple dog dare, FYI) bothers me.  I feel like it makes an outfit look less put together. Like you didn't put it effort.  That being said my thumb nail chipped, and it's a gel manicure, and I can't get if off.  It's driving me INSANE.

...I'm so glad it's Friday.

Confessional Friday

I am linking up with A Blonde Ambition for some confessions!!!!

...I totally let Zoey take a nap like this.  She's not really allowed on the bed, but if shes laying on me, it's okay right???....

...Zoey got a manicure this week, and I accidentally chomped one too short.  It started bleeding, and it was all it took for me not to cry. I felt like I had hurt my little baby girl. She's totally fine- and I was totally irrational, but it was sooo much blood for such a tiny paw.

...I've been using this self tanner, and I think it's working. But going from ghostly white to white really isn't all that much progress.

...The bag of chocolate chips in my freezer is getting progressively less full, as the weeks go by.  I may be a guilty of eating a handful almost every time I am in the kitchen.

...Scrolling through my phone, and finding this, made me miss Nadine so much it hurt. I just want to give her a hug in real life. It's hard to be besties on opposite coasts.  We need to plan a trip!!!

...Watching the Bachelor this week made me laugh, even though I am obsessed with it.  Just to be even more ridiculous, I paused it, and ran into our bedroom to tell my boyfriend he's my prince charming, simply everything I could ask for in a guy. All my dreams had come true.  Yeah, that happened.

...I just hooked up my cars blue tooth, even though I have had my car for about a year. Why did I not do this sooner? I feel sooooo much safer. 

...I just bought these. Half because I needed new running shoes, and half because they are so darned cute!!!

...I had my first guest post, over here, last week. And it was thrilling. Weird how something so small, could be sooo exciting to me. If you want to read it, read here.

...We (boyfriend, Zoey girl, some family, and I) are heading up the cabin this weekend. I can't wait.

I Confess: You Bought Our Dog a Dildo???

Love to link, and love to confess, thanks Leslie of a A Blonde Ambition

I Confess...

I had the best chat with my brother this week. He is simply the best.

I freakin' love the new Kelly Clarkson song, it's almost out of control, especially because I loved her songs in High School.  The other day I found myself desperately changing radio stations hoping a station would play it.  When it came on, I thanked the heavens above. Clearly I need to download it.

I bought this toy for our dog this weekend, and my boyfriends immediate comment was, "...great you bought our dog a dildo,".  It's not a dildo Honey, it's the only toy I saw that thought might last more than two hours.  It's been around for 5 day and it's still intact.  It's the first toy she hasn't shred to pieces in weeks.

Okay, so it looks like a dildo...

I cry at dumb things, not serious things. For example, I didn't cry at graduation, my grand fathers memorial service, of when my Dad had heart surgery, but I cried when I got two of the wrong things at the store. What's wrong with me??

I tried on swim suits the week (read my Victoria Secret order came in) and it made me feel like a pale, opaque, whale.  Can you say, self tanner to the rescue... (I'm using this one).

I rocked a summer dress this week.  Summer dress, tights, and boots = winter attire right??? 

My Mom dropped by my office to pick up a dress she is going to mend for me, and my Dad called while she was there. It made my heart smile. I love them so much, and I love that they are so close to me  I never moved really far away (remember that fact from this post??)

I sometimes drive like a b**** and don't let people in. Which irritates me, because I had it when people do that to me.  Why I have this double standard, I am unsure.

 I made my own take your puppy to work day on Monday, and she was being a smartie pants all day.  She naps all day at home, I figured she'd do the same thing at the office, nope, she was whining pretty much ALL DAY...that made 8 hours feel muchhhhhhh loooooonger....I still love her.

I've already started 'packing' for my trip to Brazil that isn't until March. And by pack, I mean gather things on the bed in the extra bedroom.  Sunscreen was on sale at Target, so I figured it's never too early to start.

This week has already felt long, and I am working tomorrow...

I am planning a Bachelorette party for the first time, because one of my bestest friends is getting married, suggestions anyone???

And I confess....I am going to rock out to the new Kelly song in the car on the way to work.
Probably on repeat.

Happy Friday!!!!

I Confess: A Whole Lot of Silly Things

I am linking up with Leslie from A Blonde Ambition today to tell you a few things about me.

I confess sometimes all the time I miss my brother living in my same town. An 8 hour drive/1 hour flight, is simply too far, especially now that he's going to be a Dad.

Who couldn't love someone like this??

Circa 1993 at Grandma and Grandpas

I confess that I always watch the Bachelor (usually a Tuesday of Wednesday) and I don't like it when people tell me who gets kicked off.  I mean it's almost worse than someone ruining the end of a book. And I confess, it's stupid that I think this, it's reality televisioin.

I confess that I have something to confess next week. It's terribly dumb, embarrassing, and ironic...I'll leave it at that.

I confess that I NEVER read any of the articles in tabloid magazines, what's that saying, a picture is worth a thousand words? It's always VERY obvious what it's about.  That being said I can blow through US weekly in approximately five minutes.

I confess right before bed I spend 10-15 minutes browsing pinterest, instagram, and blog posts I've already read that day, and I am pretty sure it drives my boyfriend crazy.  I only do it so I can stop my brain from going a mile a minute, there are just so many things to think about.

I confess I have to think of at least one item of clothing I am wearing the night before, or else I WILL be late for work. No questions asked.  Which is just terribly dumb.

I confess we're (my BF and his family are taking me) are going to Brazil in March and I'm so FREAKING excited I can hardly sleep.  I love nothing more than traveling (pretty much anywhere, especially abroad) places, even more especially places I've never been.

I confess I really like the names my brother and sister-in law are considering for their little girl, I told you about here!!! I am so excited to be an Auntie!!!!

Hope you all have an awesome Friday.
