Things I Miss

I get all nostalgic about things sometimes. Don’t pretend like you didn’t know, you see me link up my favorite song as something from at least 10 years ago nine out of ten times on Fridays. It got me thinking about things I miss.

1. Pluto – It used to be a planet. Now it isn’t. WTF Pluto?

2. Manners – People these days, especially young people, have zero manners. I see the way kids talk back to their parents and how they act in public. If I acted like that, my dad would have beat my ass in front of everyone and not think twice about it. And you know what, it would have been deserved!

3. The Hills Christmas commercials where they would sing “Hills is where the toys are.” That might be a northern thing, or a Pittsburgh thing. I don’t even know if Hills exists anymore? I don’t think they do…

Hmmmm the little elf looking Santa Claus is way creepier than I remember but this has the jingle that I miss so much!

4. Nickelodeon – When they had all of the good shows. You know what shows I am talking about…

5. Twizzlers Sourz – There are many foods that have come and go, and I miss a lot of them, but if I could only bring back one…it would be Twizzlers Sourz.

6. Opinions – Why are people so damn sensitive about everything these days?! My opinion is my opinion, it is ok if you feel differently. We could even have a little sensible debate about it if you’d like or share our points of view, but at the end of the day…..what I think about something shouldn’t effect your life just as how you feel about something shouldn’t effect mine. And chances are, I won’t change my mind and I don’t expect you to either. No need to get bent out of shape about. And for the love….Facebook breeds the worst of these offenders.

7. My metabolism – Seriously, when I turned 30 it disappeared and never looked back. Rude! I am sorry I used to talk smack about you before, I take it back! Please come home!

8 – JTT – But really, where did Jonathan Taylor Thomas go?

9. AIM – Here me out….I know we have Google chat, Facebook, Twitter, etc…but nothing beats AIM. I felt it was more personal, you could see who was online and available for chat, and away messages you guys. Away messages were everything.

10. Shrimp Queso from Five Bar – Once upon a time (back in 2013) Five Bar here in Birmingham had shrimp queso on their menu. It was amazing. Amazing. They “took it away for the summer to return in the fall” and yet, it never came back. All I have is this picture of our very last time consuming it. And lost dreams.

Does Wednesday actually happen without my ecard confessions? I’m fairly certain that it does not.

Linking up with my girl Liz for the Hump Day Blog Hop.

Confessions

–Even though Kathy has put an end to the best link up there ever was, I am going to continue to confess. Confessions are good for the soul. Or something like that.

–This is the second time writing this post. The first time I was almost finished and WordPress freaked out and I didn’t have anything saved. Wonderful.

–I was really proud of myself Friday. My coworkers went to Jack Brown’s for burgers and fries and I stuck with my plan to go to Whole Foods for brown rice sushi. Turning down burgers, who am I??

–This week is just awful. My Monday was so bad that it spilled in to Tuesday when I left the delicious turkey chili I made Monday evening out on the stove to cool and forgot to put it up before I went to bed. I woke up Tuesday morning and noticed instantly. FAIL!!!!!! I am still pissed about it.

–It’ official. I have old ears. The music was so loud at the party Saturday night that I lost hearing in my right ear. It came back around noonish on Sunday along with a major headache. #hagstatus

–I have been horrible about blogging lately. I need to get my life together and get some posts drafted!

–I am more excited about Disney on Ice on Friday than I think my nephew is who asked me to chaperon his class. I will probably spend the next two days deciding what I am going to wear with my Mickey crown. 🙂

Confessions – Is It Just Me?

-Is it just me…or do you get in your car and route your map out in your head, visualizing which way you need to turn and which roads you are going to take? I am a girl with a plan, yo.

-Is it just me….or when you’re shopping and see 30% off and can instantly calculate said discount in your head. Anyone who ever goes shopping with me is constantly bringing me things and saying, “So this is $35.99 and is 30% off, what is it going to be for me?” Am I the only one who learned fractions and percentages in school? Or do you think this stems from a shopping problem?

-Is it just me…or does the manager and eight cashiers at Target know you by first name because you are in there too much. And you actually know things about the managers daily life because of chit chat at the register.

-Is it just me….or do you not understand how all of these fashion bloggers afford their extensive, expensive wardrobes.

-Is it just me….or do you only shop the sales racks at Anthropologie too. I mean, who can afford that shit full price? Not me. Not me at all folks.

-Is it just me….or do you start thinking about lunch around 9:00 am.

-Is it just me…or do you talk to your animals like people when no one is around.

-Is it just me…or do you hate when people half ass stuff until you come along and do it better and then they try to copy you?

Confessions

–I totally skipped my work out Tuesday morning. And this morning. Suck it Jillian.

–I skipped my work out because death is upon me. Fall pollen is no joke and my body is basically in full on strike mode. I think I get so excited about all the fall things, that I forget that I suffer from hay fever every. single. year.

–I went through an entire box of Kleenex in about five hours yesterday. The ENTIRE box.

–A week from today I have to hop on a plane and head to Orlando for work. The anxiety is real!!! It is all I can think about. I really REALLY hate flying. Would it be bad to take a shot at the airport at 5:30 am? Don’t judge me.

–Salsaritas in Homewood closed suddenly. I feel betrayed. That is totally normal, right? But like why did it close?!?!?! It was my lunch jam!

–Livvy snuck a sip out of my water glass the other day, surprise surprise. I pretended like I didn’t see it and kept drinking because I was too lazy to get up and get a new one.

–I am trying to quit diet sodas again. I am sorry for the things I say while going through withdrawal.

–My 14 year old niece has me hooked to a song she refers to as “the sponge bob song.” No, it isn’t the theme song….but it might be just as embarrassing. Yet so damn catchy. Don’t judge me but go listen! OK fine, judge me.

–I looked at my keyword search stats the other day because they always make me laugh. I felt like such a badass when one of them was “what girls feel when they lift weights.” YES!!!!!!

–I feel like a teenager with the way my face has broken out over the last week. Please tell me on what universe is it fair that I have to worry about acne and wrinkles at the same time?!?!

–I was in the bathroom washing my face the other night and I walked to the trash can to dispose of my make up wipe when I discovered a large ass fucking spider the size of my hand just chilling in our garden tub. I looked like this

Then I was like

Then I did what any adult would do, I went and got Chris so I had some back up in case the spider tried to do anything wack when I attempted to kill that mothafuckaaaaaa!
