2. I'm having a serious vacation hangover this week. Like, it's bad! And I don't even drink alcohol! Although I did eat A LOT of carbs last week...maybe it's a massive carb coma. I'm just feeling so out of it and my mind is elsewhere. I'll probably snap out of it about the time the weekend rolls around again, so that's convenient.
3. We have a wedding cake to do this weekend and there is nothing I would like to do less right now. My heart's just not in the cake business these days. We've pretty much stopped taking jobs and are just finishing up the jobs we already had scheduled. It's kind of sad because it used to be a passion of mine, but I got SO burned out. I think I just need a break from it and maybe someday I will want to do it again.
4. We FINALLY got a Trader Joe's here!!! And all I want to do is go buy everything, but I'm kind of afraid to for my wallet's sake. But Amanda posted about the pumpkin cornbread croutons so now I have to. Also, THIS STUFF RIGHT HERE:
Butter that is made of cookies?! This can only be good. |
5. The radio station I listen to in the mornings is doing their pledge drive thing this week so I've pretty much tuned out until next week. I know that probably makes me a bad person but they play about a quarter of the music they usually play, and instead of their usual morning banter which is fun, they are talking about pledges the whole time and it gets old real fast! I mean I get that they need support and I do appreciate them but I can only take so much of that!
6. I LOVE decorating for Fall but I still haven't really done anything decorating-wise to the house. Since we just got back from vacation AND our house it's kind of a disaster right now (we're still in the process of organizing and going through all of the stuff from our cake shop that we closed last year, but that's a story for another day), so it's hard to be motivated to decorate when everything is everywhere. It's kind of like being in the middle of a move to a new place, except we're not and we just have a ton of crap with not enough to space to fit it in.
7. I made a Facebook page for the blog a couple of weeks ago, pretty much just so I could link to it on that sidebar thingy I made (Thanks to Sarah at VTIM for her fabulous tutorial on that!!) and have done absolutely NOTHING with it. I should really post something or...something.
8. Last week in the hotel room after we got back from the parks we watched episode after episode of this show called Forensic Files which is one of those crime story shows where they show you what happened and how they figured it out and all that. Those shows are seriously addictive to me, and I'm not sure why but it's a little scary how much I like them.
9. We also watched Mean Girls and though I've seen it probably a jillion times (yes, a JILLION 'cause that's a real number) I laughed just as hard as the first time I saw it. That movie never gets old.
10. Wow, I always start these posts thinking "What am I going to confess about this week, I've got nothing because I'm pretty boring" and then I end up with a pretty long list of stuff (which let's face it, is still pretty boring I'm sure). It's like therapy.
You should link up with us, 'cause it's the cool thing to do.
Loved your post and your ecard and the mean girls shirt! I love the perspective on Halloween and cobwebs!! Haha
ReplyDeleteI am smiling as I read your confessions, because I can check.."yep, me too!" on many. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! ;)
DeleteHey, don't know if you know but you're a no reply blogger, so I can't email you back when I get your comment! It's easy to fix, here's a tutorial! http://www.venustrappedinmars.com/2013/06/google-ultimate-no-reply-blogger.html
Thanks for reading and blessings to you as well!
hahahaha that after vacation is hilarious and so true. i am definitely the second one, lol. i'm one of your 12, heyyyy ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny - Love it! Cookie butter is amazing and adds 15 pounds to your hips with one bite! But, it's so delicious. I try to avoid eye contact with it.
ReplyDeleteMy friends live in Jacksonville and were so excited when the Trader Joes opened up - I'm pretty sure they were first in line!! Bright side you can buy a lot of stuff for a great price there - and their return policy is amazing!! Meaning bring your receipt and if you didn't like the chicken that you bought and ate - they will still refund your money!!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of your 12! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWe need a Trader Joe's where I live so badly. I refuse to drive 45 minutes to get to the closest one. But I want that cookie butter!!! Choices are hard.
I got back from NOLA 3 weeks ago and I am still struggling with motivation and getting back to normal. One week is acceptable.
I'm pretty sure that's what I look like after vacation too :)
ReplyDeleteMake that 13!! :D
ReplyDeleteI want to try cookie butter every fall and never get around to it. I should go buy some today! It's not year-round right?
So if I could Snapchat you right now, I would seriously send a snap of me eating that cookie butter out of the jar at my desk. Seriously. I'm doing it right now LOL. AND you have a new follower on Bloglovin' because I'm lovin' your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThat after vacation pic, hilarious. I always feel that way too!! Ok, I'm happy for you but jealous you got a Trader Joes lol. I really really wish Oklahoma would get on it!
ReplyDeleteThe cookie butter is AMAZING! The crunchy one is even better in my opinion. I need to figure out how to make that stuff. It's also quite addicting - don't say I didn't warn ya! :) ~Heather @ My Overflowing Cup
ReplyDeleteDo you listen to KLove by any chance? I use to listen to them and it just always seemed like they were doing a pledge drive :(
ReplyDeleteYep, it's KLove! I normally really enjoy listening to their morning show, they play some good music and even the talking is fun to listen to. Thankfully since I started listening to it a year or so ago they haven't done too many of the pledge drives, but when they do I tend to get tired of it pretty quick!
DeleteLove that e-card! Finally those cobwebs are decorations!
ReplyDeleteGirl you have 16 followers and I'm happy to be one of them! haha I had to make sure I was a follower and then saw that your number was up ;) Maybe i'm a bad follower cause i didn't know that you do wedding cakes! Amazing but everyone gets burnt out at some point or other so dont' be hard on yourself. I haven't tried the cookie butter but I think I need to.
ReplyDelete"Cute baby bloggers" I loved that!! I completely get that excitement! Cobwebs make such great decor!! lol
ReplyDeleteahhhhhh I love that mean girls sweatshirt!!! Yes to cookie butter it's amazing! I am actually working on a TJ's favorites post!
ReplyDeleteMy wallet would be scared it we had a trader joe's, too! I'm also pretty sure that I would be the exact same after vacation. It's meant to be enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteI still get excited about every new follower… growth is so fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up at WYWW!
