Sequins and Sea Breezes: Humpday Confessions

Humpday Confessions

6/25/2014

So I've decided to try something new and join along with Katy at Vodka and Soda for the Humpday Confessions this week! With my birthday right around the corner I figured might as well get a few confessions off my chest before starting a new decade!

Vodka and Soda

Before I start my confessions can we just take a moment to appreciate how freaking gorgeous Ian's eyes are? I'm sorry but Jeremy Meeks doesn't even come close to Ian. I'm all for the bad boy hottie but I prefer my men to not have a rap sheet that includes two years in prison and be a part of one of the most notorious gangs in the United States. Thanks but no thanks. 

With that being said, lets go ahead and kick this thing off. I confess that every time I'm sick (or home alone, or working from home, or not in the mood to make anything for lunch/dinner, or numerous other scenarios) I make an entire pot of Kraft mac and cheese and eat the whole thing. Right out of the pot. No need to mess up any extra dishes when it's not necessary, right? Just grab a pot holder and go. At least I use a regular spoon (sometimes). If that wasn't enough... it HAS to be the spiral mac and cheese with the powder cheese. No liquid gold for me and don't even try to serve me other shapes. Not happening. 



I confess that I love three ways. Yup, you read that correctly. I. Love. 3-ways. 



Oh come on guys, get your mind out of the gutter! I'm from Cincinnati, home of the chili three-way and I have to admit, living in Florida I miss them from time to time. Specifically right now. If you're ever in the Cincinnati area do me yourself a favor and stop into a Skyline Chili and get one. Don't worry, there are literally more Skyline's then McDonald's in Cincinnati so you should have no trouble finding one!

I confess it drives me nuts when people write you/tweet you/etc and are like "Hey! I'm following you now, I'd love a follow back!" First of all, I can look to see if you're following me or not. Most of the time when someone messages me this type of message, guess what? They're usually NOT actually following me. It drives me even more nuts when you see these same people mass sending out the same message and I look at their account and they're actually following like 10 people but they have over 700 followers. 



I confess that I get a little stabby when I go to the the gym and I'm FINALLY sucking it up and doing cardio and the one treadmill I like is being used. The thing is, I absolutely hate doing cardio. Hate, loath, despise...however you want to call it. I do spinning once a week but every once in awhile I skip and have to do it on my own and the only thing I can stand doing for more than 10 minutes is this treadmill that has a ridiculous incline and there's only one of them in the entire gym. So when I walk in and someone is on my treadmill walking at a leisurely 3 mph pace at a 0% incline I really want to throw something at them. 



Finally, while on the gym confessions... I confess that it irrationally irritates me to see someone texting or talking on their phone while working out. Really? The gym is my "me time" to disconnect from the world and focus on myself, the last thing I really want to do while working out is listen to you complain about your day at work or your roommate or whatever else you feel like complaining about. And then when you get mad at me for listening in on your conversation when you're two feet away from me and chatting loudly... yeah. 




On that note, I'm out! Hope you enjoyed my Humpday Confessions!

  2. When I'm home alone (sick) I binge watch everything on TV - last time it was Downton Abbey haha! People that go to the gym to be seen are the worst - like what girl needs full on make-up and works out with her hair down?! The people with the "hey follow me" annoy me...i love it even more when they say follow me first and then I'll follow you...mmmmkay NO!! haha

  3. i read your 3-ways comment as you love in 3 different types: family, romantic, friends. obviously i just woke up! hehe

  4. You just named my biggest pet peeve about blogging (aside from seeing a bazillion different people do sponsor posts on the same exact item they're trying to hock...ugh). When I see someone new comment on my blog, I'll hop over and check their blog out myself and if I want to follow I will. I'm not going to simply follow because they claimed to follow me.

    And the gym... nothing irks me more than seeing girls all dolled up and talking on their phone. Girlfriend is not there to work out, she's there to look for her next random hook up. Blech...

  6. Okay, so I love that Ian is in this post not once, but twice! Lol. Him and his eyes...dreamy! I love Kraft too -- the good old fashioned kind! It's the best comfort food, no matter how old you get. I think I'll make a box today! Lol.

  7. I got a call from my doctor to schedule an appointment while I on the elliptical one day and when I started talking on the phone everyone turned around and glared at me. I wanted to be like, Bitches, I've been waiting on that call for 2 weeks, it took 1 minute, divert your eyes!
    I also completely understand the irritation when "your" machine is taken. I've actually gotten all set up on a different machine and saw the person vacate my machine and relocated ALL my things to move to "my" machine. #sorrynotsorry.

  8. I avoid the gym for the reasons you mentioned. I want to be in the zone when I work out and that's way harder to do with a bunch of people around who are apparently there for other reasons.

  9. The texting/talking on the phone while working out drives me crazy! Please, just leave your phone at home for an hour. Sheesh...

  10. Totally agree with the phone thing :)

  11. People talking on their phones at the gym is one of the worst things! Especially when its busy and they are casually walking on the treadmill.... go outside!

  12. I am guilty of taking on the phone at the gym but the only time I did it my bff was convinced she had met her soulmate who happened not to be her boyfriend at time, clearly her crisis ... lol

  13. I've been known to eat mac and cheese like that too! No sense in dirtying any other dishes when you really don't need to.
    A lot of things at the gym make me feel stabby.

  19. Totally with you on the follow me/ I'll follow you ridiculousness. If I like a new blog I found, I'll let them know I'm following along but it should never be an obligation to follow back! And being at the gym is definitely "me" time! Leave the phone in the locker! :)

  20. I am literally dying right now. First of all, thank you for your rant about Jeremy Meeks! The whole obsession with him is RIDICULOUS, and I literally can't stand hearing about it anymore. Second of all, we must be kindred spirits - I eat an entire box of Kraft Mac & Cheese at least once every two weeks (it's my ultimate comfort food), and it HAS to be spirals. I mean seriously - they taste better!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Love it! Yes, definitely good to get things off your chest pre birthday ;) I hate when people comment/message that too, not happening. Oh how I love Mac & Cheese spirals, but I love the shapes too haha!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm a full box of mac and cheese gal myself, I mean go big or go home right? And I can't stand it when someone is on "my" treadmill or even in "my" shower at the gym - it throws my whole day off. Glad you decided to link up!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hahaha dying laughing right now! love this. I have a favorite elliptical and when I get there and someone is on it, my blood starts boiling I think...the struggle is real! xo

    ReplyDelete
  24. yayyy confessions!!! i laughed so hard at the mac and cheese - definitely an american thing ;) actually there is a gluten free one that i make with 1/2 the amount of cheese and i eat the whole thing too, but i dont think it's as much as the normal one. but damn girl with the genius-ness of grabbing a pot holder. i will do that next time, i'm the one washing the bloody dishes! haha. and yes, my mind was in the gutter i was like BEST CONFESSION EVER. we have skylines here in KY but I have never eaten at one cause they look a bit strange and weird, and don't hate me haha.

    ReplyDelete
  25. You mean you only eat Kraft mac & cheese out of the pot when you're sick? :) Is it terrible this is a regular occurrence for me on perfectly good days as well?

  26. Cardio can suck it ha. I loathe/despise/hate it as well. And people on their cell phones really anywhere that forces you to have to listen in public are on the same level as cardio. That is all ha. Enjoyed your confessions!

    ReplyDelete
  27. hhaha get your mind out of the gutter ok and a three way i have heard about Cincinnati chili and spaghetti is the three way the best way?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh my gosh, I am SO with you on the "follow me" things! It's so ridiculous and annoys me! People should follow blogs/social media because they want to!

  31. Agree with all your irritations. The gym and follow me back comments mostly!

  32. I totally get it- it is hard enough to motivate yourself to get to the gym... but then someone's on the machine. Ugh?!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I agree with you. Great post and gifs. :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Haha I can relate to so many of these!! Especially the follow me back ones--come on now :) I feel like if people want to follow me they will and if not o well! And I follow ppl I genuinely enjoy reading--as it should be!

  35. I agree with so many of those, especially the gym one! And I heard that Jeremy guy is getting a modeling deal if he gets out of prison (makes me sick!).

  36. I definitely eat mac and cheese right out of the pan too- though I admit I'm a shapes girl! haha One of my high school friends was from Ohio and I went to visit with her once and we definitely had some Skyline Chili! So good! I think my biggest gym pet peeve is when there are a million open machines and someone has to use the one RIGHT next to you! One time this lady was right next to me-- stopped midway through and moved to the treadmill directly on the other side of me!

  37. As an italian, that chili 3way thing totally scares me!

  38. Preach sister. First - Ian is my boyfriend and I love him. You had me at Ian's picture. That's all I needed today. Also, I couldn't agree more about the "follow me" posts!! I especially hate when people say "i'd love it if you could follow me and I'll follow you back" - I don't get it!! Thank you for this post! LOVE IT!

  39. My recent trick to making sure I get my cardio in is I've put the hulu plus app on my phone, and I'll put on a tv show and I make myself do some form of cardio for the entire show. Since I know I would watch it at home anyway, this gets me moving while I'm enjoying my show. Just a thought to help! It keeps me from getting bored! Anyway, love this post!

  40. Ughhhh how about when the girl with the overly perfumed self gets on the treadmill next to you when you're already 2 miles in and you sure as hell aren't getting off because you need to document the finish to this epic run. How is this the first time I am hearing about this chili. Do I spy pasta with chili and then cheese on top???? I think I just found my next dinner. That looks freaking amazing! Yeah!!!! I love your confessions!!!!! xoxoxo

  41. Fake followers can suck it. The ones that crack me up are the ones that comment on a post and say "I like your photos. Would you like to follow each other?" when your post contains no images at all.

    Also, people who talk loudly about their drama obviously want people to hear.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hahaha! Yeah Kraft spirals are the best! My fav right out the pan too! :) I can't stand the fake follower BS or the ones that ask you to follow them. It makes me NOT want to follow them just because they said that! :)
