Friday Confessional

Photobucket




I know this totally breaks my "ONE (1) post per day rule" but I NEED to do Friday confessional and I NEED to do Fat Ass Friday. So I will because I do what I want.

I confess that I have a hate/hate relationship with running. I honestly think of ways to get out of running while running that include:
maybe I could accidentally on purpose twist my ankle
maybe I should just get pregnant
maybe a car will hit me (we are in a building)
oooh alien abduction

But I still run and because I run - I totally work it into conversations with everyone - coworkers, strangers, blog comments. I told the auditors that are here this week I wouldn't be available at lunch because I'm a runner. I told the walmart checker that I needed bananas because I'm a runner.

I confess that I was mean-mugging my bratty kid at 2am and was thisclose to breaking the cosleeping habit RIGHT THEN.

I confess that I'm the worst bloggy friend ever. Like I suck at keeping up with awards and tags and linking my friends. I'm just super scatterbrained.

I confess that if I'm 2 seconds late on starting my girl stuff - I will start seeing "signs" everywhere. Like I'll get a baby shower annoucement and immediately freak out. Or I will see a newborn at the post office and think WTH - are babies taking over?! I'm not pregnant.

I confess that I LOVE presents from my bloggy friends.

Mimi at Living in France MADE me this super awesome notebook

Fiona at A Reader's Random Ramblings sent me this AUSTRALIA stuff from Australia

I confess if you send me presents that I will LOVE your present-sending face. FOREVAH.

Ugh -I'm so not a runner -I would probably think of excuses too ;) And yes -I have the pregnancy paranoia sometimes too. Very cute presents!

Beth said...

Boast it, hot mama- you ARE a runner. And a Zumbafool. :)
I can't wait to hear how the Zumbathon goes!!

Miss Angie said...

Yay! I'm so glad you like it!

And HELL yeah, do what you want, and DOUBLE HELL YEAH if you run (even though you hate it) brag it UP!

Amber said...

I love that you use getting pregnant as an excuse to not run, haha.

And I would totally tell everyone if I was a runner. I kind of doing it with my outdoors stuff, "I need the weather to be nice so I can bike ride" or "I'm buying a new day pack for my High Peaks hikes".

It's OK that we want people to know we are BAD ASS.

I need to have SOME sort of relationship with running...anything that will help me shrink my fat ass.

Mimi made you one too!!! LOVE! She is the bestest. Love all your loot.

Janna said...

Running...what is that? ;)

Isn't Angie's stuff so FREAKING cute?

I confess I need to go get my confessions UP!

Sheila said...

Um....just for the record...if you DO get prego! Pregnant people run too! DUH!

MiMi said...

I want something Australian! Dangit!

VandyJ said...

That notebook is awesomesauce! It's always fun to get real stuff in the mail--not just bills and junk mail.

Kate said...

Ha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks up ways to get out of running, especially while running. I always say- maybe I'll fall down this hill and I won't have to run this week. ;)

Katherine said...

I need to get off my lazy butt and become a runner.

Love that notebook, and I'm the same way when I'm even 5 seconds late!

Melissa said...

you talked about babies a lot to not be prego. Just sayin'

I Lol'd at the working running into every conversation! haha

I'm a worse bloggy friend than you. So at least you have that.

Nichole said...

I love that you are telling everyone! :o)

I love your confessionals!

I hope you love me forever even if I dont send you anything.... peeeeeez

Happy Weekend!

Impulsive Addict said...

Look at all your good loot! Isn't MiMi so thoughtful? I love her.

So I confess that I'm jealous that you're a runner. I wanna be but I have no partner to make me. I suck.

But it was fun sending picture texts today with you and S.

Holy MOLEY you know you're loved when you be getting gifts! :)

How do these people know where you live?? Creepy!

Love that you were mean mugging your kid! LOL

And P.S even if you get pregnant that won't keep you from running...believe me I tried to use it as an excuse to not exercise I guess the docs though my fat ace needed exercise cause they were like you can do whatever you did before you were pregnant..ugh..I did nothing but they wanted me to hit the gym hardcore!
Excuse me I'm a rambler

Raven said...

If I ever tried to run I'd trip on my own foot, fall on my face, and break a hip. I'm just not coordinated enough to be a runner. If I'm going to exercise I need something with handles, like the treadmill.

My kids never slept in my bed, but they liked to sleep on my bedroom floor when they were little. I think they did that until they the youngest was like 10.

Funny, but I have read many blogposts about running the past couple of days!

I am visiting from Mamarazzi'd blog.

:D

Mamarazzi said...

first of all MiMi is awesome. i love that she made that, hilarious!!

i kinda love your randoms while running. seriously...just get pregnant!

Fiona said...

Hey Mimi, keep your eyes peeled for my latest Aussie gift package opportunity. It should be next week sometime :)

stephanie said...

I'm so jel of your running. And I confess to mean mugging Maggie when she wakes up at 5 a.m. or doenst nap. This preggo? Needs sleep.

Samantha said...

I hated running too, then I started doing P90X a year ago and now I've got muscles, so whenever I'm in a group of people, I try to flex my arm muscles a little, so people can see them & then I just randomly bring up P90X.

I always freak out if I'm late too. I mentioned this to my gyno, that sometimes I don't start when the birth control pack runs out and he explained that sometimes it has to do w/the number of days in a month, and it won't always start on the exact day. That made me feel better.

That corgi :) said...

I confess I never know what to expect when I read your blogs but I usually laugh out loud at one or two things you write.

Too cute with you reminding everyone you meet that you are a runner :) Because you are a runner!!!

Cerise said...

My lungs hate running. I feel like they almost beg my feet to trip over themselves so it can all just stop. But I also love saying that I jog. Makes me feel like a fit person. :o)
I'm totally the same way with my girly stuff too. Go into a huge panic.
Love your bloggy packages. How fun is the Aussie one?!

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Fun gifts! Sorry I'm so late in reading you. Hope you have a fun weekend.

K said...

I love that you work running into all your conversations! Rock on!

Jenerally Speaking said...

haha, love all your excuses and how you throw out that your runner! You should tell them your a running rockstar!!
You are definitely not a bad bloggy friend. My weekend flew by soo fast that I haven't even checked since last week! I'm awful.
Love your bloggy gifts! Were they from a swap or are you just that cool? I'm voting just that cool.

K said...

I am totally the same way with my friend, when i was having "issues" everyone thought that was the cause and then you start to think well maybe!!! Thank god they were wrong but still I understand
