On Fridays…

November 20, 2015

It is finally Friday!!! 

{1} School = Zoo
These kids this week…I have felt like a zookeeper the entire week. Seriously. I know it will be worse next week because they know there are only 2 days of school! 
This is what it feels like around here….
{2}  Stupid WEBMD….
Do you ever read an article like : “10 early signs you might have _______” ??? Well I did that this week and now I am pretty sure I am dying and will not be around to blog much longer. 
so just yea….either way I have a doctors appointment next week for a much needed check up anyway. Wish me luck! 
{3} Winter….
It has been getting chillier this week. Not happy….They are saying we will get snow tonight too…which sucks because I am driving to the burbs to see my brother act in A Christmas Carol and that drive back in snow is awful! 
{4} TV TV TV 
I started watching a new show “Code Black” and I like it!! I’ve always loved medical type shows and this one is so dramatic which is right up my alley!! 
The boyfriend and I finally finished The Office so he is trying to get me on board with Parks & Rec and man…I just don’t get it yet. The first 4 episodes were not really funny…someone tell me it gets better???
Then again…this is the same guy who doesn’t think Big Bang Theory is funny and I love that show!! 
{5} Adele….
Adele’s new album is out today…and I don’t care who thinks she isn’t amazing because this is the only album I will actually pay for this year. 
And yes…that song always makes me want to start singing a Lionel Ritchie song! 
And what would life be without my favorite Ecards of the week:

On Caitlyn Jenner

November 19, 2015

I tend to stay away from political & religion posts and generally anything that gets people all pissy because I don’t care to hear the drama but I keep seeing all these ridiculous things pop up on Facebook and around the blogging world about Caitlyn Jenner and the Woman of the year award.

First… I think people need to realize that the anger directed at Caitlyn Jenner for accepting an award she didn’t ask to be given makes no damn sense. If you want to be pissed at anyone it should be Glamour Magazine, they chose her.

Second…She has actually done a great deal for the Trans community by being so public with her transition and encouraging Trans people to be who they are.

Third….No one should be saying she isn’t a woman, that is not for any of us to decide other than her God (if she chooses to believe in one). So I think people need to stop all the nasty comments, the hate, the judgement. It is really disgusting to read/see how shitty people can be about things that have no relevance in their lives whatsoever.

With all that said….

I feel as though there are many women who would have been much more deserving of an award. See how easy it was for me to say I disagree with the choice without saying something shitty?

Let’s stop being so damn judgmental and crucifying everyone who doesn’t fit into our boxed-in perceptions of what is right. 

I am shocked to hear so many women got so seriously offended when she made the joke about “figuring out what to wear being the hardest part for her” 
IT WAS A JOKE. Calm down. 
I don’t think she put herself through all that came with her public transition and really believes the hardest part of being a woman is dressing herself. chill out. 
Well…I feel like I got my point across….

On Humpdays!

November 18, 2015

It is that time of the week again!!!

More Coffee Less Talky

Alanna & Company

I confess…

– That I fell off the eating right wagon hard this weekend…banged my head on the way down and then got back up and started again Monday!

– I went to the gym yesterday and had to start with baby weights since it’ been so long since I lifted anything other than food.

– I am making serious progress on my Christmas shopping and still holding strong to not giving into the holiday hype until next week! 
–  I got some major blogger inspiration last week and have scheduled posts for the next couple weeks on the day I usually slack so expect lots more posts! if you have any ideas feel free to share too! 
– I’m very excited for next week! 2 day workweek what!!?! 
– I’m super annoyed with the weather in Chicago has been so up & down its hard to figure out what to wear to work. It gets really hot or really cold in the building i work in so sometimes I am dressed for outside and then sweating like a pig on a roast inside all day! 
– We had a kid drop the F bomb yesterday calling some older kids “Fheads” I almost peed myself laughing. I had to get up and walk away. Definitely not the right reaction but that is the kind of curse word I would come with. 
That is all for today…not too many grumbles!! yay! 
What are you confessing toady?
