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!

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!

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.
