Never Have I Ever

Never Have I Ever was always my least favorite drinking game.
I always lost.
I think my friends did it intentionally.

Being in a sorority we played Never Have I Ever many nights, I lost almost every time. The worst was when we played and you have to take a drink because YOU did it but then EVERYONE would make you TELL the embarrassing and awkward story connected to it. Today I'm linking up with Nadine, Meighan, and Whitney for what promises to be a more fun game of Never Have I Ever. At least it won't end up in me being wasted spilling embarrassing secrets like games of the past.


So let's see what I can think of when it comes to things I HAVEN'T done.

1. Never Have I Ever liked eating a banana. I can eat it sliced on toast but that's about it. The texture of a whole banana makes me gag. It's the same way with watermelon. I'm weird. Sorry I'm not sorry.

2. Never Have I Ever payed rent.  Well, I guess I "technically" pay rent now because we pay rent for Steve's apartment, but I don't live there so it doesn't count. Hear me out: I lived in a residence hall freshman year of college, was an RA every year after that, was a Residence Director in Grad School which meant I lived in an apartment in the residence hall as part of my compensation, and now I live in an apartment in a residence hall as a Residence Life Coordinator. Basically, I have lived on a college campus for 8 years. That is insane.

3. Never Have I Ever gotten my bra size officially checked. I mean I've done it on my own with measuring tape but you know those fancy boutiques where they check you and tell you your real bra size which is normally totally different than what you buy at Victoria's Secret?

Yeah, never been to one of those.  I mean I'm busty, so I probably should, and I have issues with my shoulders, so yeah I probably should but I haven't. (Also, I think Victoria's Secret bras are over priced for how long they last and refuse to buy lingerie from them. I've found much more substantial bras for their price that last a lot longer).

4. Never Have I Ever liked Taylor Swift. I'm sorry. The first time I heard of her, I saw her sing live on a Christmas special I was watching because Josh Groban was performing. She was flat and terrible.  I also think her song Love Story just shows that she didn't  really understand the contexts of the references she's making. Please make educated allusions in your music that make sense, we already have a problem with education in this country. Also, her serial dating drives me nuts. I'm sorry, I just can't. I don't like her.

I could write a whole post on this but I'd just make a lot of people angry.  This story was the icing on the cake, though.
Okay I like her song from The Hunger Games. I can give her that one.
I know, I'm mean, I'm terrible.

5. Never Have I Ever hated any of my jobs. Sure I had jobs that weren't great and moments where I was so over every one, but every job I've had has had some perks and fun aspects to them. Maybe it's my positivity coming out but I learned a lot from every job I've had. I've even learned "You know I don't want to do this job forever but it's okay for right now" which is a victory in itself. This includes when I worked at CVS and Pizza Hut in high school.


Whew! Well, did you make it through mine sober? I bet some of them tripped you up! Can't wait to link up again!

Sunday Currently (2)

Linking up with Lauren

reading Everyone's fun statuses on what they're doing for Easter! Love seeing my friend's children dressed up in their Easter best!

writing  grocery lists, including the stuff I forgot today

listening to The Book of Mormon for the 1,000,000th time. I can't wait to see it this summer

thinking This is going to be the longest two weeks ever. Steve is coming to visit April 13th and I can't wait

smelling A freshly cleaned bathroom and kitchen and homemade tomato sauce cooking on the stove

wishing I would find a job in near Steve soon

hoping  I can get back to a normal schedule soon and get back to running this week. Working from 12am to 4am along with regular hours is really messing up my routine

wearing Leggings, socks, my Mainstreet shirt (my college ACappella group), and a purple pull over

loving That tonight is the season finale of The Walking Dead. I hate that it's over but Mad Men starts next week, so I'm okay

wanting to go shopping for some new spring dresses

needing to clean my bedroom but after all the cleaning I've done today, the thought is exhausting

feeling lonely, tired, and a little bored

clicking on to some recipe inspirations for this week - I've gotten into a cooking slump lately

I'm spending Easter alone this year, which is not a super big deal, except I did consider buying a huge chocolate bunny and devouring it on my own.  I refrained. That was just going to be too sad and put me in the Liz Lemon boat where she buys a wedding dress out of loneliness.  You can tell I've been watching a lot of 30 Rock lately. 

 

I have been buying frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches - you know the ones with fewer than 300 calories, but for this and next week I decided to make my own with multigrain english muffins and turkey bacon then freeze them. I'll know how they turned out later this week. Making the eggs the right size was a challenge. I guess I should invest in an egg ring. 

Hope you have a great Easter if you celebrate it, and if not a great weekend, nonetheless.

 

 

 

Confessional Friday (2)

Happy Friday! Linking up with Leslie at A Blonde Ambition again for Confessional Friday.


1. I confess that I haven't been doing so well at my whole make up make over.  Remember how I was going to wear less makeup? Yep, that didn't happen.  I mean I'm not wearing like 3 colors on my eyes anymore, I have one all over shade and darken the corners a little bit which is less than I was wearing before, but I'm still putting on foundation, concealer, bronzer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, and filling in my eyebrows. My routine is going a little faster and I'm using less foundation so all in all less make up isn't my thing.

2. I confess that I'm going out tonight for a friends birthday and I bought a new dress at Target. I'm a little low on spending money this month but I decided I'd rather not eat than buy this dress. This is the first time I've ever decided that. I used to wonder how women picked fashion over food. . . I get it when it's the right dress. I got a great dress and a great necklace. Obviously things I can wear again.

3. I confess that I've been cheating on my diet with these chocolate covered potato chips. I'm sorry, I'm trying to only have like 2 per day but they are so good.

4. I confess that when I shop alone, I talk to myself in my head like I'm Rachel Zoe. I say things like "Oh, I love a good chambray!" "Bah-nanas," and "Look at that peplum. OBSESSED!" It's kind of ridiculous.



 5. I confess, well, okay, this one is embarrassing. I was hard boiling eggs the other day and I heard this weird chirping.  I SWORE it was coming from one of the eggs. The water was just warm.  I mean deep down I KNEW there wansn't a baby bird in that egg that was still alive.   However, leave it to me not to think "Oh hey, these have been refrigerated, I'm sure if there were a baby bird in the egg it would be dead, not  chirping." I swore I was going to cut one open and find a dead baby bird I could have saved. Nope. Eggs were all clear. I'm just crazy.





Those are my confessions for the week.  I have an exciting weekend ahead and I plan on posting about that Sunday evening.  Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Currently Linkup

This is my first Linkup with Lauren at Siddathornton

I love this. It is part of my sorority creed, so finding a picture like this made my life. 

Started fake bronzing.  The weather is gorgesous down here in the south and it's inspiring me to "tan" and work out.

 reading  Eat, Pray, Love. I tried to read it once and got kind of annoyed. I've made it further this time than last and I am determined to finish it. 

 writing   resumes, cover letters, oh my! Still looking for jobs in the DC area and I'm so over cover letters, it's ridiculous.

 listening  Justin Timberlake's new album. Obsessed

 thinking  I'm proud that I've worked out each day I've wanted to this week, and even on days I was kinda against it.

 smelling  I know it says that there isn't an odor, but the Jergen's Natural Glow still has a certain scent.

 wishing  I could see into the future, even just one thing, for just a brief second

 hoping  This blog is a better venture than my last one.  I want to build some good blog relationships this time around so any takers? Know good link-ups? Let me know!

 wearing  Steve's college sweatshirt and some sleep pants I got for Christmas all day and loving it.

 loving This tangerine nail polish I got for Christmas from my sister in law. I have no idea what the color is called because it came in a mini bottle. I don't even know what line it's from, but I love it.

wanting  a Shamrock Shake.  I am only going to allow myself ONE. They are so addicting.  I've been wanting one for days. Maybe today is the day? You know, since it's St. Patrick's day. Okay, maybe not after reading this. 

 needing  time with my husband, desperately. April 15th can't come soon enough.

 feeling  OBSESSED with this spring weather! 

 clicking  onto bloglovin' to find some new blogs to follow and following ones I already enjoy.

I'm going to be honest. The only exciting thing I did for St. Patrick's Day was bake Irish Soda Bread. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture, but the recipe is pinned on my Pinterest page, which you can visit by clicking above.  Last year Steve and I watched United States of Tara (if you haven't watched it, do, the whole show is on Netflix and it's amazing) and I tried to recreate my mom's corned beef and cabbage. 

Yesterday was Steve's birthday and he went out with a friend.  We are now both 26, I can no longer claim cougar status. Also, less than a month until he visits! I cannot wait. 

Confessional Friday!

I got really excited about this link-up with Leslie from A Blonde Ambition. 
I heard about thanks to Nadine at Back East Blonde.

First of all, my favorite part of reality shows are the confessionals.  People are raw, honest, and say ridiculous things, especially the Jersey Shore confessional. . . 

SO the fact that I can confess some things to you seems pretty great!

1.) I confess that I haven't been eating my chocolate (yes I only got chocolate candy) from The Sugar Factory as slowly as I wanted.  It is just so good. 

2.) I confess that I considered going up to DC this weekend and then realized 10 hours Friday and 10 hours Sunday was just way too much for me.  I'm sorry, Steve, I love you, but that's exhausting.  For more on why Steve is in DC and I'm in Georgia read about the move here and his job here.

3.) I confess that I was so obsessed with House of Cards on Netflix I finished it in like 3 days. Seriously, if you haven't watched it, do it NOW. If you don't have Netflix, it's worth the subscription to watch it. I am now re-watching Lost from beginning to end. Around Season 4 or 5 I got annoyed and boycotted it until I could just watch the whole thing and get answers.  The last episode I remember involved time travel and a bomb. I'm currently on Season 2.

4.) I confess that with the sun coming out, I'm dying to get a tan.  I am naturally the color of a marshmallow. This weekend, I will be purchasing some Jergen's Natural Glow and maybe another product to speed the fauxbronze along.

Sorry for the Twilight reference. This was like 3 or 4 years ago, okay!

5.) I confess that I love and hate my new running/work out. When I say running, I mean alternating walking, jogging, and a few short bursts of actual running. I love that I'm not getting up early and I'm normally pretty motivated after work, BUT I'm hating how lazy I am afterwards. Seriously, I just put on my pajamas, have dinner, and sit on the couch (and probably watch Lost) until 10pm when I finally go to bed.

6.) I confess that I'm trying to wear less make up every day. I usually put on a full face (more to come on that). It's a weird adjustment, but we'll see how that goes.  It wasn't that stellar this week, to be honest. 

7.) I confess that when Steve left, he left shampoo and body wash here. On the weekends, when I know I'm probably not leaving the house, I totally use it so I can smell like him - well, kind of.

With all of that TGIF! I can't wait to do a whole lotta nuthin' this weekend.  
Hey, Netflix, this means we're cuddling.
