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!

On Humpday Confessions

November 11, 2015

It is that time of the week again….

Alanna & Company

I confess….

– I am so so so cranky today

– That I am grumpy because I lack carbs in my life…it has only been 2 days but I am pretty sure  I will die today. 
– I am finally starting to get back into my blogging groove, it isn’t so hard to come up with things to blog about anymore! 
– I am actually excited to go walk some trails this Saturday with some meetup girls! I’ve been wanting to get out more before the weather gets shitastically cold but everyone is all “Eghh I dont want to” so I made an event on one of the meetup groups and the girls were all about it! 
– I need new fall/winter everything. All my clothes are like 5 years old already!! 
– Even if I bought a bunch of new stuff I still wouldn’t have a clue what to wear or how to match it! 
– I am excited for Christmas but not enough that I will decorate before the week of Thanksgiving. I like to properly give every holiday it’s time. 
– I am excited for Friendsgiving but stressed because I think my new apartment may just be a little too small 
– Also on the topic of my apartment being too small, I was throwing around the idea of another NYE party this year but I’m just not sure I can comfortably fit 20-25 people in my place with the way it is set up! 
– Sugar Free jello…not the effing same. not even a little bit. 
– I overdid it in my workout yesterday and I am paying for it today…
– I think that is all my grumbles for now…
What are you confessing this week?
