Friday's {much needed} Confessions

In the words of Jessica at The Newly, its time for a fess sesh! Link up with Leslie and dish.

I CONFESS....

• I ate chick-fil-a and a bowl of chocolate ice cream on Halloween and only had 2 trick-or-treaters
• I ate a bundtini from Nothing Bundt Cake at 8am yesterday. It was devine.
• I was kind of excited that our trap finally worked and we caught the pesky coon eating our yard
• and then I felt bad for it because it looked so pitiful in the cage staring at me
• I am not excited to go to NOLO for the first time Sunday because its for work and I will not get to explore much more than the courthouse
• but its the Fifth Circuit so that makes it a little better
• I currently have three online baskets holding clothes, shoes and such waiting for me to buy (hubs I have not actually bought them, but would like to?)
• I workout so that I can eat yummy food
• I sometimes get annoyed by people who complain about their weight but do nothing about it.
• I've been less than nice this week to well everyone. Blame the meds.
• I thought about kidnapping the dog next door (Seinfeld style) so it would not keep me awake for the 2nd weekn in a row.
• I thought about entering Mrs. Texas for more than second. Then realized people would think I had lost it.
• All I want to do is sleep tomorrow, but its photoshoot day for my titleholders and I only a tad jealous they get pampered.
• I often feel closer to my blog friends than my friends that live let's say in my city. Thank you to all of you who have welcomed me into your lives. Even though we have never met, I feel close to you all and love all your constant support and prayers.

What's your confession?

Sometimes

Normally I would dishing about what's ok with me this week, but I would lying to myself if I decided that all was ok. Because sometimes life is just meh. Yeah I said it, meh. Not great, good, or even ok, its just meh.

Sometimes you just need to crawl in bed at 8pm with your pup (dressed as a ladybug) and watch TV.
Sometimes, no matter how you try to explain it to them, your spouse will not get your work stress.
Sometimes you just need to cry to get it out.

Sometimes you will feel all alone even when you're surrounded by people.
Sometimes eating two heaping scoops of chocolate ice cream are just what the doctor ordered.
Sometimes your hair and face will be a hot oily mess no matter what you do.
Sometimes when you are craving pumpkin cream cheese Einstein's will still be out of it.
Sometimes what you want most in the world seems to be the hardest thing to get.
Sometimes you just have to trust in God and follow the path he has set for you. (even when its hard)
Sometimes life is just meh.

Happy HalloWednesday

Via fabulousk

Ah, it's  my favorite holiday. I mean who doesn't love candy, dressing up, cute kiddos in costumes? A day when you can wear black and orange together and no one thinks you belong on the worst dressed list. Yes, people I love me some Halloween!

I wish I could show you how cute my house is decorated, but alas I failed this year to have enough time to deck it out. I will, however, be home in time to dress up the pup in her costume and pass out candy in our neighborhood. But, if I had decorated the house it would have included:

So, what are your Halloween plans? Costumes? Parties? Trick-or-Treating? Do you bob for apples? make monster hands with popcorn? Everyone have a safe and wonderful Halloween and I expect great pics up tomorrow!

Fall{ing}

I'm Fall{ing} for so much right now. I'm loving this weather. It means tights at work, my suede boots and scarves! I love a good scarf!

I'm falling for hubs all over again. He has been such a trooper lately with my hectic and stressful work schedule. Last night was the first time I beat him home in a long time. Not complaining per se, but it was nice to be able to actually come home and cook him dinner for once. (and fold laundry, put away dishes, etc...) I felt very wifely.

I'm falling for colored pants! yes, you heard me correctly, colored. As in jade, cranberry, royal... Loft has the cutest skinny pants, ankle pants in an array of jewel tones.

I'm also falling for coffee! (ok, so more for coffee). Lately I pray I make it to work without falling asleep. So coffee has been my savior. I kow hubs thinks I should make it at home, I mean we have a coffee maker and coffee, but that requires me to remember to set it the night before and then put it in a travel mug, etc... And when I workout at 5am that does not work... See, just easier to get it at work or on the road.

 

Most of all, I am falling for fall TV! Call me old, but I still love me some Gossip Girl, Grey's & Two Broke Girls. I have just not gotten into any of these new shows. I never got into Modern Family, but I hear its great. I am however, in love with Nashville! Give me some Hayden P. any day of the week.

 

Now, I know I should be happy that New York is still standing, but hello why on earth did we have to cancel the new episodes of many shows last night because of the storm? Sorry East coast, but I wanted me some GG and 2brokegirls!

 

Ok, so that is what I am falling for this Fall.

Weekend Recap

Yes, I know its late in the day, but this morning was a rush of activity. Our trial team leaves in less than 24 hours to head out to well trial. So last minute everything is taking place. So my weekend, other than working, involved the one night of the year where hubs and I get all dressed up....

Nope, not costumes, but formal attire for us. We done our best and head to Steeplechase Deb Ball. Bowing, white gloves, drinking and dancing! I have to say hubs and I know how to clean up! We danced the night away and felt it in the morning.

 

 

The rest consisted of: football watching, pageant prepping, working, and eating... lots of food! Hopefully this week will be tad less eventful at work. Hope everyone has a great Halloween! I know I stoked for lil ones all dressed up and eating a lots few pieces of candy!
