Confessions with a side of Hashtags

I just found out that the phrase "on fleek" originated with Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian. It all makes so much sense now. #stopmakingupwords

I just watched a video about how taking loads of selfies in fact does not lead to better self-esteem but actually makes us more self-conscious and more likely to focus on our flaws, and my thought was "Um, duh??" #icouldhavetoldyouthat

I didn't really care all that much about the Lilly Pulitzer/Target collab, just not my thing. But now that everything is gone and I'm seeing pictures of the stuff they had I'm kind of like "Awww, that's so cute, I want it! " #alwayswantwhatyoucan'thave

I just finally looked into Blogging for Books and signed up instantly because um, free books? Yes, please! But now I'm kind of nervous. I haven't really done book reviews on the blog before because I don't really know what to say about a book without giving too much away and I feel like I would just be awkward. But too late now, they're sending me a book as we speak. #stillexcitedaboutthefreebook

Do you ever have one of those days at work where you've only been there for 30 minutes and you're already thinking, "Yup, I'm going to be raiding the vending machine today." #notmyproudestmoment

I just ate my last Cadbury egg and I'm kind of sad now #chocolatestash

When Adam isn't going to be home for dinner I eat like a 5 year old. Like my options are either soup from a can or PB&J. I just really don't like to cook after working all day, especially when it's just for me. #lazy

After the BBQ party I was looking through the pics people posted on FB of me and totally agonizing over them because I HATED how I looked in pretty much all of them. Why does this always happen? Why am I the least photogenic person on the planet?? #I'msovainIproblythinkthispostisaboutme

Um, yes. Literally all the time. I hate Facebook so much. 

Confessions

So sorry I am super late with posting this today! I had fit club last night and then we watched the finale of HIMYM and then it was bedtime. Oh and about HIMYM- I can't EVEN with that ending so let's not go there.

* Do you ever get waaay too emotionally involved in a book series or TV series and when it ends you're all sad and don't know what to do with yourself? Yeah, that definitely didn't happen to me yesterday. (Note to self: In the future DO NOT finish both a book series and a TV series in the same day, you can't deal)

* On a related note, I have an irrational pet peeve about when someone sees me reading a book and asks me what I'm reading. Unless it's a really popular book that everyone knows the basic plot of I'm always like well I can tell you the title but what else do I say about it? It's a book about people and things? Like, do you want a full plot synopsis or what? I know I'm weird, I think it's because reading is a very personal thing to me and I'm afraid someone's going to judge me for my reading choices. Plus reading is my escape from the real world so I don't want to talk to people about it if that makes any sense at all.

* After a stressful phone call at work I NEEDED Starbucks so I went over lunch and they didn't have iced coffee (What???) but she said she could make me an Americano instead and now I'm straight up buzzing. Regular old drip coffee is plenty caffeine for me, espresso and water is not a good idea. You should see all of the typos right now, thank goodness for spell check.

* Adam and I have set aside this Saturday as our day trip day for January and I STILL have no idea what we're going to do. I had a couple of ideas but they're mostly all outdoors and while it has been pretty nice here so far this week I'm concerned that the weather will turn on us because it is January after all. Plus I'm trying to think of things that won't cost much because budget.

* (If you couldn't tell when I've had too much caffeine in addition to typing too fast I also type a lot of run-on sentences because I'm pretty much typing how it sounds in my head which is one long sentence with no pauses or breathing.)

* Tomorrow is my Friday! That's not really a confession I just wanted to say it.

* Today is my first day wearing my new pale pink/nude patent leather flats from Target (on clearance!) and they already have a black skid mark on the side of them from who knows what. This is why we can't have nice things. Does anyone know the best way to clean patent leather?

That's all I got for today. Link it up!
