It’s confession Thursday and I’m feeling extra nostalgic about my old Catholic school days this week since I visited my old church at Susan’s wedding this weekend. 
Yep, just like I remember it 
Confession #1: I am hogging all the eggs in our house! I cannot get enough of them lately and Ben loves them too, but he keeps getting yogurt for breakfast. That’s odd…
Confession #2: I skipped my run because I was supposed to try out a new boot camp this morning and didn’t want to be too tired (and look like a loser).
A lady at the boot camp asked if I had just ran that half marathon (referencing my shirt). To me the Arizona RnR Half was a year ago, so I said “yes, last year”. She pointed out that the shirt said 2011 and I looked like I didn’t know what year it is. I kinda don’t.
After the boot camp my Catholic guilt caught up with me and I ran/walked 3 miles when I got home. I do feel better now
Confession #3: I am pretty sure the persimmons I’ve been eating all week are not even close to being ripe.
Confession #4: I’ve been eating those fried onion things for green bean casserole like chips. I am not positive on this one, but I’m pretty sure that’s the most unhealthy thing one can consume.
Confession #5: I’m almost out of gas from my Soda Stream!!! I have been drinking seltzer like it’s water 
Confession #6: Oddly, there are always raisins on the floor of my car. This may be caused by my favorite driving snack…
Confession #7: . Kim tweeted that auto correct changed #POTM to #PORN and now I’m trying to thing of a good #PORN challenge for January. Twitter amuses me more than blogs sometimes
Confession #8: Ben and I are taking a last minute trip to San Francisco this weekend, but I really don’t want to go. Between October being the craziest month of my life, last weekend’s wedding / half mary and the holidays I just want to stay home and watch House Hunters for 9 hours while eating fried onions from a can.
Got anything to confess?
Monica,
Thanks for your nice note back about my blog. Wanted to let you know that I wrote an entry about filming house hunters recently and in light of your love for the show thought you might want to see.

It will air in April and I’ll definitely let you know when.

What is going on with #POTM who was the winner last week?
I used to make a canned fried onion, mayo, and cheddar cheese sammie in high school, ok and maybe once or twice in college too. I am SURE that makes it worse than eating them plain from the can. I could have at least added some lettuce or something.
I actually can’t think of anything really good to confess. Not anything that wouldn’t make me look like the total goober that I am. 😉
Confession- I’m going to Vegas for girls weekend and my only real goal is to get smashed. I’m in my late 20s, it’s ridiculous.
Have fun in SF- find somewhere really fun to eat and it will make it worth it. Go to the Bubble Lounge! So swanky and fun.
That’s a pretty legit goal for Vegas 🙂
My confession: I sat in the bathroom pulling random eyebrows out for 45 minutes (yes I still have some left) convincing myself to go for a run. One other one: After about 2PM at work I did nothing but look at running/fitness/healthy living blogs and finally bailed at 5, half hour early. SO was not in a working mood today.
Auto correct can be SO disastrous sometimes!
Love your blog! Autocorrect gives the most hilarious suggestions.
My confession: Eating out for the second night in a row, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be convincing my husband to go out for hamburgers. Oops! (Thank goodness for my workout!)
ridiculous confession: i bought 100 single-serve packs of biscoff spread. they have basically no nutritional value. yet it is only a matter of time before i eat all of them. with a spoon. i had to do some mental reframing (ha, i’m not even making that up) this morning to not go for seconds … lawl.
I didn’t even know they make those!
Hahaha!! You just made my day. I not only made the confession Thursday blog but the title too!! I was so embarrassed when I realized I tweeted about doing porn on the treadmill while watching my HOKIES play. Aye!!!
Well I’m about to head to the gym for a repeat tweet of last week…Hokie football + treadmill + #POTM 🙂
Now I will always wonder how one does porn on a treadmill…
yummm i LOVE persimmons. they don’t need to be soft to be ripe though! as long as they give a liiittle bit and have those brown specs on the inside, they’re usually delicious!
It is FREEZING right now in SF- supposedly its warmer inland. But seriously. SO COLD. My apartment is so cold I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. Bring hats, gloves, scarves, etc.!!!
Confession: I want to buy and eat an entire baguette.
^so glad you said this! I’m going to San Francisco this weekend too and I hate being cold! Now I’ll remember to bring gloves! 🙂
Umm, it’s really not cold at all here in SF. You’ll need a jacket at night but during the day it’s nice. I saw showers are predicted during the day tomorrow but on no account do you need your winter woollies, just the usual dressing in layers you always need for SF.
Haha I guess I should have clarified it’s because I grew up in LA, so yeah, 50s/40s is pretty cold to me. And the drizzle tonight didn’t help anything. 🙁 I miss SoCal “winters.”
50s/40s is freezing to me too 🙁 I’m a wimp.
Being former SoCal girl myself its, any time its in the 60s or below I think its FREEZING!!!! Bring a jacket for this weekend, its supposed to rain up here in SF (well I’m in the East Bay but close enough :))
My persimmons have been oddly off-color too. I don’t eat them all that often so I honestly can’t tell if they taste unripe 😛
And honestly those fried onion things are one of my favorite things at Thanksgiving. I always offer to help with the green bean casserole so I can get my hands into the fried onion can. My family is lucky if more than half make it onto the casserole!
Oh, but San Fransisco is sooooo much fun!! And so pretty!! And you can drive around and re-enact parts of “The Rock”. Not that I’ve done that. *glances around guiltiliy*
I have grounded myself from peanut butter this week. I’m running my first marathon this weekend and I have no self control with any nut butter and end up eating a whole jar in less than three days and didn’t want to feel like ish come marathon time! But next week…bring it on.
Good luck this weekend!
I am addicted to anything HGTV, including: Property Brothers, Hidden Potential, House Hunters, My First Place and Property Virgins!

My biggest confession today – I hate my job! haha, probably not anything relating to your topics above! I hate autocorrect, it gets so many words wrong!
The weekend is one day away 🙂
I have four persimmons sitting in a bag on my counter trying to get them to ripen. It has been two weeks, they need to hurry up!
Confession – I ate a persimmon yesterday and hated it. It was really dry and chalky in texture. I so wanted to love it. Do you think it’s underripe? I just have no idea if that’s the way it’s supposed to taste but have no idea since it was my first one (other than in the guac I told you about last week).
Bahahaha. PORN. That’s so great. Whoopss. And I’m right there with you with the couch and House Hunters idea. Ok, the international one makes me green with envy. Do that many people have a vacation house in the freakin Caribbean. Guess I’ll live vicariously through HGTV…
Confession # 1 – I want to punch every single one of these OccupyPDX protesters in the face. Watched them disrespect our flag today.
Confession # 2 – I clean up the dogs “messes” in the house and don’t tell my husband because I don’t want him to be mad.
Confession # 3 – I managed to burn eggs onto a non-stick pan.
That’s great about the porn and POTM!
My confession – I up to four candy cane tootsie pops today.
That can’t be good.
So I recently bought a new car and upon cleaning out my old car of almost 10 years I definitely found a few raisins. It’s a rule that at least 1/2 of a vine of grapes get consumed in the car on the way home from trader joes.
Haha, yeah, I can’t have those fried onion thingees around either, I do the same thing.
Confession: I’ve never eaten a persimmon! That needs to change! 🙂
Ooo…fried onions. If I have friends visiting close to Thanksgiving that’s usually one of the things I request! Can’t have green bean casserole without it!
My confession: I made my chunky almond butter even more chunky by dumping in a bag of mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, buckwheat, flax, chia)….so crunchy!!
Confession-I have a persimmon on my desk that I’m pretty sure is overripe…but I’m too scared to open it.
Also-yay San Fran! Hope you have fun while you’re here!
I have made so much lemon setzer on my soda stream that I think I smell like California. Also, I ate enough spicy Chinese vegetables for lunch, I think my hubs may never come near me again. I hope the lemon wins the battle of the breath.
i have been loving persimmons, too 🙂 except they remind me of tomatoes while i’m eating them … weird.
also lol at #porn … i am really glad you’re doing the POTM… i’ve been forcing myself to get out more during the week, and i have noticed my stress levels are more manageable when i exercise that much more.
Ahahahhaa raisins. That’s so great. Hmmm, confession…I sometimes plop a few of the croutons at the dining hall salad bar right into my hand because they’re so darn good!
I have been told that persimmons should be mushy and almost over ripe looking and eaten with a spoon. but I am never patient enough to wait and see if they are better that way!
Mine’s not even close to that!
There are TWO types of persimmons and look similar but are pretty different fruits.
The fuyu persimmon is the kind Monica has pictured above. Its texture is like an apple, crisp and crunchy. They don’t soften up that much over time.
The hachiya persimmon is what wymberley is referring to. It has more of a pointy bottom and is super astringent if you eat it before its fully ripe. When its fully ripe it will be really squishy (like an over-ripe tomato) and you can eat it with a spoon.
I love both kinds!! The fuyu kind is definitely less messy to eat though!
Haha, umm I’ll go to SanFran for you! ;D I always do that. I think something happened SO long ago when it wasn’t! Confession for me? I went for a sweaty run a few hours ago and still have not changed or showered. Yum.
Persimmons always taste soapy to me, but I keep buying them b/c I really want to like them.
If you have time for a blog meet up/run while you’re in SF I’d be interested!
We’re actually going to be out of the city a bit, I think in Healdsburg?
Oh nice! Hope you get do some wine tasting:)
