A while back, I did a coffee talk post, which was just a rambling of my musings and some confessions. I’m back with part 2 today because your comments were so fun the last time.
–I am an incredibly anxious person. I get worked up about things and have the hardest time letting them go. I mentioned in my last post that when things are unfair, I harp on them. Always have, pretty sure I always will.
–I am really terrible with money. Like, really terrible because money burns a hole in my pocket. Thank goodness for DG for being great with money.
–I just really like to try new food. Recipes are fun for me to try, but I sometimes get overwhelmed when I get home from work to try to cook something new. And on the weekends, I generally don’t have the energy to cook and clean up after myself.
–Tuesday, I had an aawesome day at work but a not so fun afternoon when I got home. Coupled with that, I burned every part of dinner (on accident). So, I ate sea salt caramel gelato and chips and dip for dinner. Being an adult isn’t so bad.
–I gave up sodas last year prior to the wedding and substituted with sparkling water. Recently, I’ve been drinking a lot more caffeine and I don’t like it. So, I’m starting to get back into my sparkling water again.
–Remember how I said that I am bad with money? I don’t like to have regrets with purchases, but I also sometimes have buyers remorse. Recently, I’ve been making myself wait on purchases, and it’s eliminated a lot of buyers remorse.
–I don’t watch a lot of movies because when I finally sit still, I either think about everything else I could be doing or I fall asleep.
–Speaking of sleep, you know how they say it should take you 15-20 minutes to fall asleep? Yeah. No. I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
–Recently, friends have been asking me when I see DG because of our schedules. DG is in season for soccer. I work a part time job after my real job. I see him for maybe an hour each night. We eat dinner around 8:30 or 9:00 during the week so we can have dinner together. It’s a hard line because I miss seeing him, but I also appreciate that we can support each other and our passions.
–I never anticipated being in a house at my age, much less in the suburbs. Sometimes, I daydream about moving somewhere else. You know where I see myself? Charleston.
–This is my favorite time of year. I don’t have to run the air conditioner and our house just stays cool. What I don’t love right now? The pollen.
–I want a necklace to wear that says “I’m not the person my in-laws think I am.” Not sure what I’m talking about? Read here.
–I don’t love Starbucks coffee. I would rather have Dunkin’ Donuts.
–Painting my own nails is a better stress reliever for me than getting a manicure or pedicure. If I’m painting my nails at home, I can multi-task. If I go to the salon, I can’t.
–I get embarrassed by how little I knew about the world prior to going off to college. It was such an eye opening experience for me.
–I appreciate each of the relationships I have with my parents. I didn’t always get along with my dad, but as I got older, I started to understand him better and it changed our dynamic completely. My mom and I have always been close but we are so much alike, we drive each other nuts after a while.
–I really need alone time. One reason why I get so overwhelmed with my schedule is when I can’t have some quiet time to myself. Last week, I was really stressed out and I couldn’t find any time to run. This week, I got in some pilates and running and it made a huge difference for me.
–Vagueness bothers me. Especially when people post it on Facebook. Either come out and say what the problem is, or don’t say anything at all. And personally, I don’t think that kinda stuff belongs on Facebook. But whatever. DG and I have family who the only way we find anything out is if it’s posted on Facebook.
Alright, y’all… what about you? What’s on your mind today?
P.S.
Who doesn't see themselves in Charleston? Seriously, my fave town in SC by far. So with you on the movie thing. Soon as it comes on I'm like hmmm I could so get ___ done now! I think FB should have sensor for vague, open ended posts….lol it would really be nice! Have a lovely day lady!
I wait on purchases too…well most of the time, usually like a day or two but if its on sale I have to pounce!! Gary is the same way with movies, I however love them! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
Love this post and how honest you are. This year I made a resolution to be better about my finances. It is hard sometimes (especially when you work at a store with tons of cute things!!) but it is worth it in the end. I just tell myself, if I don't need it or love it, I'm not buying it. My in-laws live 2 hours from Charleston and I hope to go there next time we visit them. Speaking of in-laws.. You are a lovely young woman, I can't imagine why anyone would think otherwise about you. I agree with you about FB too. Or when people air their dirty laundry on there. Anyway, I hope that you have a lovely day!!
Agree with you about the money burning a hole in my pocket!! Totally disagree about Starbucks though… girl I could live off of it. G loves Dunkin but not me! So no change with your in-laws I'm guessing? Ugh, makes me sad. They are missing out on SUCH a great daughter-in-law
The pollen is killing me right now! I am the same way in that I need down time everyday to myself. I can't stand Starbucks coffee either unless it's the sugary ones and those are just bad for you so I don't.
I agree. I love not running the A/C this time of year. I get anxious too for sure. It's something I'm working on but yeah, my hubby and I both do and then feed off of each other. We need more Dunkin Donuts here in San Antonio. 🙂
I'd rather have Dunkin Donuts coffee over Starbucks too, but I love Starbucks' specialty drinks so I frequent both 😛
I am the same way in regards to manicures and alone time. When I paint my nails, I'm so focused on not making a mess that I can't think about the 10000 other thoughts running through my mind. It's very therapeutic for me. I'm no good with money either, I try to be but it never works out. I hate you're in that situation with your in-laws. Even though I've never met you, from reading your posts, you seem to be a genuine, caring, sweet person. They are missing out!
I love Dunkin' Donuts coffee too! And the vagueness thing – YES. Kills me. I hate when I see people post up things like that. It makes me uncomfortable in the worst of ways.
Another great post! I agree with you, I have to have my me time (it keeps me sane) and I can't get enough Dunkin Donuts, it's a bad habit. Xo, Stephanie
