Confession Thursday. Who Wants Sizzler?

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
9 Jul

1. My favorite restaurant is Sizzler. But no one wants to go there with me so I tried to make my friends friend feel guilty this week by taking a picture of it and saying I was eating lunch alone. I’m probably going to do it, but I tried to do some peer pressure magic before going solo.

2. Who the hell is this? I will not be sharing a Coke with them. (Updated: Apparently he’s a nice guy a reader knows and I should share my Coke.)

3. I’m going through this phase where I want to move to Central California and be a hippie and la-di-da. This week it’s Morro Bay. I want to go there.

4. I practically gave myself a hernia carrying some groceries back home today, but I had to have seltzer. Addicted.

5. I peeled off all my gel manicure.

And bit off all my nails. I know some people think it’s gross to bite your nails but I wash my hands hello.

6. I’m still addicted to Serial and Undisclosed and am just listening to the episodes over and over at this point.

 

7. I’m kind of upset that I’m super not Type A but I feel anxious and stressed about everything lately.

8. Vegas got in a fight this morning. It’s my fault for letting him out, but he’s always been an inside/outside cat. Bah. Why does he insist on fighting?!

Question: What do you have to confess?

    Er you seriously peeled off the gel manicure? Oh wow…I always thought you need to go to a salon for them to take them off.

    #6 – ditto. I was late to the party. I am also sucked into a Serially Obsessed, which then makes me go back and re listen to Serial and Undisclosed episodes I’ve already listened to multiple times!

    I didn’t know that Sizzler’s were still around. We would eat at one when I was a kid because it was a “treat.” Not sure if it was because of the all you could eat salad bar or because you could get a steak for cheap? I love all you can eats but I always end up eating more then my husband and then I feel bad about myself.

    My confession, I keep looking at the clock on my phone for it to be 5:00 so I can pour myself a cocktail. Oh, and I might hit a buffet in Vegas next weekend, alone, so no one counts my plates. ha!

    I ALWAYS wanted to go to Sizzler as a kid (hello, it’s an all you can eat buffet!!!) but my mom would never take us. I’m still bitter.

    I think Sizzler may have let their standards slip in the last decade or three. Maybe move on to Souplantation considering your intense love for salads topped with lots of rando ingredients. I don’t think I’ve been to a Sizzler in 40 years! The one in Tustin closed a long time ago.

    And now you are schooled in a very common Indian name. 🙂

    I have to confess that I love peanut butter m&m despite knowing how horrible they are for me. So good and I always want some. I run so I can eat all the things right?

    You should listen to Serial Dynasty. It is a listener based podcast that is really good.

    I’d go to Sizzler with you! But I’m in Chicago………

    And I have a hernia from carrying heavy groceries. Just kidding. But I do really have a hernia and am having surgery at the end of the month. Worst part? No running for about 3-4 weeks!!! How will I survive????? And I had to drop out of my marathon since I will miss too much training. Boo.

      Wishing you a speedy recovery! That’s not that long to be off running and I’m sure you’ll be stronger in the long run for it!

      I posted a link to a video on how to make last week on my blog. Unfortunately, unless you live in Taiwan, you’ll have to make it yourself. And also, it doesn’t taste like watermelon.

    Who the hell is Gaurav? That makes sense, but never have I ever been able to find ANYTHING with “Nona” on it. So rude!

    Confession: between the dogs and the kid some days all I feel like I do is compliment living things for doing super simple things they SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO.

    And about the anxiety- I’m a professional worrier and I’ve decided that it’s just what smart people do. We think too much. Occupational hazard.

    Incidentally, Split Oak Estates makes a bonkers Cabernet Sauvignon with a Morro Bay label. And so now I want red wine at 10am EST, and that’s my confession.

    Gaurav is a fairly common traditional name in India. I don’t get your comment. Trying to be funny? It came off as culturally insensitive and racist.

    • runeatrepeat says

      2015-07-09 at 10:38 am

      I was joking and had no intention of being racist. It wasn’t about the origin of the name, but the fact that I’ve never seen that word, let alone name before.

    If I lived closer I would totally join you at “the sizzler”! I don’t know why but we always added the in front. Lol.

    Confession for me is I ate 15 miniature peppermint patties yesterday. Eh who am I kidding. I am proud of that. Lol.

    Vegas was lashing out because you didn’t ask him to go to The Sizzler. 🙂

    I have never head of Sizzler! I am from the Midwest so I guess it is one of those Cali things ;). My confession would be I bought a pricy lip gloss, lost it 2 or 3 months ago and my husband randomly found it last night in his lunch box pocket? I don’t know but it still works! Random!

    I haven’t been to Sizzler in YEARS. I think we have one in Omaha, in South O, and it looks like a dump. Womp womp.
