Wednesday Confessions

Good Morning Everyone!


It's Wednesday!

Okay so this is my first post of the week because blogger and I have not been in sync at all. I mean I could not get it loaded for two days for some reason. Anyhow so no Monday or Tuesday post but it must like the Wednesday Confessions because here we are! Let's jump in....



....I did a Selfie Sunday this post Sunday. I was still riding the high from my brother's graduation and the fact that I felt really pretty. So the next day I got dolled up again and took a Selfie....and actually posted it! Here's the pics from Graduation and from Sunday....just because.

....I skipped Zumba last night and did an hour on the Elliptical instead. MY CALVES ARE DYING. Still I needed to mix things up because lately we've been doing the same songs and I know all the moves to those and thus get a little bored. Time to change things up!

....I had to put myself to bed last night because I was getting really cranky with my husband. I was thinking about how happy I was on the drive back home but when I got home and he started talking to me....well I just started to get really irritated, so I was sent to bed....

....the thought of Kyra's first birthday makes me alternatively sad and then psycho. One moment I cannot believe that she is already almost a year old and the other half is in a panic over what we are going to do. Husband wants everyone to go to the zoo and take her for her first zoo trip, but also wants a party....how can I pull BOTH off???? .....I'm sure I can handle it.....

Short on the confessions this week because my brain is on overload and honestly I'm just relieved that Blogger works this morning!

Happy Wednesday to all! Big Hugs!

Wednesday Confessions~ It's gonna be a long day

Good Morning Everyone,


Welcome back to Wednesday/Humpday/Confession day!

Joining the linkups again today!


So here are my confessions....


....My morning started with poop. Honestly. Kyra had a major blowout that meant we both got a bath this morning, at 6am. Awesome morning so far. 

 

....My baby brother graduates college this weekend and I have NOTHING to wear. Seriously the only dress in my closet that might fit is a maternity dress and my child is now nearly 11 months old...fail. Now I have to go clothes shopping....ugh.

 

....I missed Zumba last night because Kyra had not taken a nap all day and when she finally fell asleep while I was holding her I was not going to move and ruin it. Instead I decided I would just go to bed myself. Whatever, I will go tomorrow.

 

....I want this pen....




...I have a fridge full of chicken and hamburger that we got at Sam's club and now needs to be broken down into dinner servings and then frozen. I DO NOT like to touch raw meat. I'm avoiding it even though I know it will end up being me that has to do it. Procrastination is my second language. 

 

...I am not a FROZEN hater but seriously....not worth all this hype. Movie was cute but nothing original. Also the false claims popping up around the web annoy me. Let a full fledged Disney-aholic set the record straight....

 

 So that is it for me today, Big Hugs to all of you!

Also today is the 10th Anniversary of Mean Girls. It is also Wednesday. We are wearing Pink.

Wednesday-Blog Hop/Confessions Edition

Good Morning Everyone,

It is days like today that I am thankful I don't film a whole lot of videos. I have a cold and my voice sounds like I am attempting to speak whale. Not pleasant.

Today I thought in addition to doing the normal Wednesday Blog Hop I would also do the Wednesday Confessions! I saw these on the blog Vodka and Soda and I must have been living under a rock lately because these posts are hilarious how have I been missing them?? Thus now I want to jump in there with my own confessions because well....everyone loves to know the down and dirty don't they? Does anyone else sing Usher's song "Confessions" every time that see that word? No, Just me? Figures.

 

1) You know the saying " Starve a Fever, Feed a Cold" ? Yeah I did that in full force yesterday. Seriously I felt like a bottomless pit of hunger and misery with this cold and the fact that mom's don't get a sick day.

2) I put my vacuum cleaner in "time out" yesterday. I cleaned the thing out, put it back together and then when I go to use it, it clogs again and this time the belt starts to smoke.......fail. So I took the thing outside and told it that it could face the music when my husband got home.

3) I have watched Billy Crystal's special  700 Sundays on HBO GO three times now. It is so hilarious and heart wrenching. He's Awesome.

4) I do not get Twitter and Instagram. Honestly I just don't get them....maybe I'm the weirdo but it just seems like they took the worst parts of Facebook and made them their own things....also Facebook. UGH. Sick of it. Pinterest holds my heart. You can follow me here if you like. I pin cool things.

5) I don't know how to work my brother's fancy camera....so it just sits there in the bag looking sad. I suck at photos.

 

6)  I'm a fangirl. SUPERPOTTERLOCK FOR LIFE! And those aren't the only ones.... Why?

So those are the confessions this week because Kyra is now rioting in her high chair demanding her release. Hope you all have a great day!

Big Hugs!

Wednesday Blog Hop~ The FF

Good Morning Everyone,


It's Wednesday and that means blog hop day!

To all you old hands at this welcome back and to those that are just joining us welcome!


I was a good girl today and clicked through a lot of the blogs in the hop and started following some more and plan to follow even more of you but if I plan on getting this post up I need to stop reading and start writing. Kyra is happily sitting in her high chair eating a piece of string cheese so I have like....five minutes to get this post up and running before she is ready to go again.


So today I'm gonna talk about something uncomfortable.

Being the Fat Friend (FF).

This is not a topic I like to talk about. Actually it is something I hate talking about. Yet somehow it is the topic I find comes up in my mind almost every few moments and thus ends up being something that I write about a lot.

I've been the fat friend for I have no idea how long....maybe always.

Don't pretend you don't know what the fat friend is. All girls do and guys are very aware. In fact guys now call the fat friend the "grenade" I believe that they jump on so their buddy can get the "hot" friend. Thanks for that one....as if we didn't feel bad enough....

Anyhow being the fat friend usually goes something like this.....

Skinny friend: I wanna go out! Let's go to the bar/club and hang out! Meet me at my place at 8!

FF: Um....okay.....I don't really have anything to wear....

Skinny friend: Oh come on! Just put on anything! You look fine!

FF: *sigh* Yeah....

FF arrives at SF's house where an entire flock of them are putting on makeup and slipping into dresses impossibly short and slinky. FF has the nicest top that does not hug anything it is not supposed to and jeans. Self esteem rapidly decreasing as the others look hot and are already half tipsy and giggling. FF smiles and tries to join in or they will ask her what is wrong and she would rather die than admit to it. However in that moment she could not feel more horrible or awful. Why can't I look like these girls? What is wrong with me.....don't I have any self control? If I just worked harder I wouldn't have to go through this every single time....


This same thing happens while shopping. Skinny Friend/s are picking out everything that is cute in the store and having no trouble getting into the outfits. They are actually complaining about having TOO MANY choices. While Fat Friend is over on the sidelines with the choice of looking like either a leopard or a zebra, because the fashion industry for some reason thinks that if you put animal print on a fat girl she will blend into the background....or worse case scenario they want to mark you as an animal and not worth human notice....that might be a little cynical though.

The point is I've been through these types of scenarios my whole life. I've cried in bathrooms and changing stalls. I've watched my friends get hit on and been ignored. (though happily I've been with my high school sweetheart all these years so that didn't sting as badly) I have wished so badly to be able to wear the cute clothes and just feel....normal.

So why is this coming up now? Well there is a vacation in my future and I'm not going to be the Fat Friend anymore. I just refuse to be. I have a few months before we go and that is enough time to really work hard and get myself in gear, because I do not want another event where I am unable to enjoy myself because of my weight.

It's going to be hard, and it is going to be a struggle. Also I'm going to need some real support....because I know it's going to be rough going for a bit...but I can do it. I've done it before....I'll do it again.


Big hugs to all that read this and I hope that you might consider following me on my journey.

~Kimmy
