Confession Thursday : Going to Boston

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
4 Mar

Confession #1: I cannot stop singing Augustana’s song: Boston. I plan on singing it a few dozen times during my flight. I have a bad voice. This is my formal pre-apology to my fellow passengers.


Augustana – Boston
Uploaded by mejhed. – Sitcom, sketch, and standup comedy videos.

Confession #2: I spent so long drooling staring at the dessert case in the health food store that I had to buy one or I’d just seem creepy even though I am. Luckily, they had a sugar free one – and NOT with artificial sugars but raisins and apples! Score. IMG_9407

Look at those ingredients – I could make this!

I usually don’t consider fruit dessert, but I better start changing that mindset if I’m trying to cut back on processed sugar! Luckily, this was good Smile

Confession #3: I found the soft pretzel I bought last week at Whole Foods smashed and damp from living in the back of my fridge for 7 days.

I ate it.

Confession #4: I pee with the door open when I’m Home Alone.

If Ben ever comes home early this will be his reaction…home alone pic

Confession #5: I put lunch together in such a rampage I have no idea what I did with the hummus container lid…IMG_9409

So, it’s still hanging out on my counter.

Confession #6: I bought a new carry on bag for this trip. I suspect it might fit my cat – not that I tried to put him in there Winking smileIMG_9415

Confession #7: Pretty much every time I buy strawberries I’m disappointed, IMG_9404eat the tip and throw the rest away…Have you heard of that game, Just the Tip? Never mind. IMG_9405

Now I am off to have dinner with Ben and catch a flight to Boston! I will see ya later Smile

    I do the bathroom thing too! We are weird though and refuse to pee in front of each other, so if he’s home, it’s like Fort Knox to get into the bathroom. 😉

    Ummm this was hilarious, thank you for making me laugh! I <3 you even more now. I pee with the door open but Adam HATES it. He always walks over, gives me the stink eye and closes the door. I have no shame. I also love that I am sharing bathroom habits on the internet. Booyah, internet..TMI IN YO FACE!

    I always pee with the door open. haha even when my boyfriend’s here. I just don’t care!! The song Augustana has a dear place in my heart because it was the ringer for my good friend Colin whenever he called/text me. It basically went off every 30 seconds freshman year of college. He passed away last August, so whenever I hear that song, I always think of him. Have a safe trip!

    I always pee with the door open. Closed doors make the baby scream. I can’t pee while she’s screaming. Ergo, my husband has to volunteer to stop what he’s doing and entertain her if he wants closed door peeing around here. 🙂

    Confession #8: You forgot your REALLY good friend’s birthday yesterday!!! I am hurt and offended. Not really, but I thought it would fit with your whole theme for your post today. Have fun on your trip and I guess I will sing myself happy birthday. 🙂

    I imagine you making lunches (salads, really) as a scene from the Swedish Chef on Sesame Street (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS2qNc188Ps) which is a good thing!

    That carry on bag is awesome.

    1. I loooooove that song. I don’t have a great voice either and howl along.
    2. I always pee with the door open.
    3. I might have peed a little just now because I laughed so hard at your final joke allusion! (j/k)

    Ummm, I GUESS this is gross but, I pee with the door open even if my husband is home! He does too. I guess we’re just shameless! Also, I am laughing hysterically over the fact you referenced “just the tip” on your blog! This is almost as good as the Chris Rock quote!!

    Good job saying no to the eclair that was right next your healthy purchase. There’s no way I could do it. In fact, seeing the eclair in your picture makes me want to go and eat the cookies in my cupboard. I have a serious problem.

    Have fun in Boston. Stay warm and good luck!

    I lived alone for a year and I don’t think I closed the bathroom door once!

    My suspicions of what “just the tip” is aren’t anywhere close to being G rated…

    I always pee with the door open when I’m home alone. Hell, I do that when we have company if no one reminds me otherwise.
