Confessions & Car Jams

I'm all about short work weeks and what do ya know? It's time to 'fess up with Kathy already! Grab a bag of popcorn folks, you can't miss this one. 

+ I confess that I love my hubby to the moon and back even though he sometimes looks like he got dressed in the dark. And yes, he does this just to see my face sometimes I swear. Yes, crocs WITH socks (the worst offense), plaid shorts and a jersey....I just die every single time.

+ I confess that I take a ridiculous amount of photos of my furbabies....because well they're my furbabies....they on the other hand just want whatever I'm cooking...

+ I confess that house hunting is no longer fun for me. I unfortunately don't have Kimye's budget and my student debt seems to be screwing me over royally everywhere I turn! To those of you who don't have any of those...welll.... (jk jk)

+ I confess that I've been snapchatting my jam sessions in my car like a crazy biotch. Snap me right now!! (emcap13)

+ I confess that I shattered my no shopping spree record over the Memorial Day weekend...but it's okay because I spent unused birthday gift cards that I forgot I had. Buy all the things!!! Especially the pair of Sperrys I've been shoegasming over. 

+ I confess that I will sit in my car after I pull in the driveway if one of my favorite songs comes on the radio. I just have to listen to it.

Everyone has that one song! And for me, that one song is pretty much anything from the 90's...now time for you to 'fess up! 

Confessions: Wedding Edition

Time to hook back up for a short confessions with Kathy since I'm still on island time and moving very slowly....but let's wedding things up a bit with these confessions!

+ I confess that really nothing went wrong at the wedding aside for a couple of people getting a little too white boy wasted and only added to the stories to laugh at later.

+ I confess that I couldn't get into my dress fast enough....and was staring it down while calming my nerves with many glasses of wine..on an empty stomach.

But when I finally did slip into it...game on.

 + I confess I needed a drink...or two...right before the ceremony...

+ I confess that I had the best bridesmaids a girl could have. From needing a drink, to pinning things where they needed to be pinned and such...they were awesome. Seems like only yesterday that the rehearsal took place!

+ I confess that the officiant could have been speaking in Japanese and I wouldn't have noticed since I was so fixated on Josh and so lost in the moment.

 

+ I confess that I really wanted to punch Mother Nature in the boob for making it rain all week and the morning of the wedding day so we decided to take photos inside. I still can't wait to the professional photos though! 

+ I confess that I have zero regrets about any of the decisions I made during the planning process and the venue and staff were AMAZE-balls throughout the whole night. If anyone is having a wedding in the Chicago area and looking for a reception site, The Abbington Distinctive Banquets is your place!!

+ I confess that I almost pulled a Jennifer Lawrence up the stairs BUT I survived the walk up and didn't end up tripping over my dress! Success!!! Even though my dad was walking too fast and I stepped on my dress several times, I couldn't help but have the  biggest smile on my face.

+ I confess that although I didn't cry a waterfall of tears when my dad gave me away, I did shed some tears and smudged awesome foundation on my dad's tux during the father/daughter dance.

+ I confess that I smashed cake in Josh's face first and boy did he get me back. It wasn't planned at all, we just went for it. I'm glad we did too since it was delicious and I didn't have a chance to stuff my face with a slice of it later on.

+ I confess that while I was all nervous and crying about changing my name, I couldn't be happier to hear "Mrs. G" everywhere I go now. Josh and I have the best families that show nothing but their love and support! 

+ Oh and one last confession...yes I along with my bridesmaids danced to NSYNC's "Bye, Bye, Bye" and didn't skip ONE choreographed move during the reception. Again, I love them so flippin' much. :D

I'm also linking up with my girl Fitness Blondie for Hump Day! Go check her out!!!

I Have A Confession....I'm getting married!!!!

So you're probably thinking...WHERE DID SHE GO? Well I'll tell you....I've been swallowed up by all things wedding! I'M GETTING MARRIED ON FRIDAY! TWO DAYS! Right when you think you have all of your shit together, well yeah you find out that you don't and you're missing all sorts of small things. I.e. a cake topper. Oops.

Let's do a quick rundown of my confessions with Kathy...wedding style.

+ The Knot's seating chart tool will save you a world of frustration. USE IT FELLOW BRIDES. You want to save yourself from accidentally cussing out your in-laws for changing seating arrangements at the last minute because it's such a hassle moving people around? Not with this handy website!

+ Never use Crest 3D White FlexFit whitening strips. You want to know why? Because you'll end up crying to your dentist at 7a.m. saying that your teeth are splotchy white and in my case...getting married in two fucking days. Luckily he's positive that a normal cleaning will even everything out. Apparently these types of strips were only available to dentists a little while ago since you're only supposed to use them directly after a professional cleaning. Yeah definitely doesn't say that on the directions or packaging. I hope they're prepared for the verbal assault I'm about to throw down on them.

+ I've been so stressed out and anxious, my hips shrunk a little. Doing my kettlebell workouts have helped with all of that business too though. I just plank my way through the stress. #sweatingforthewedding.

+ Josh and I are planning on not having to check our bags at the airport so that means measuring out every effing little fl. oz. and only having ONE quart-sized bag each...apparently TSA thinks I'm a magician. I mean come on, at least two bags? All of that space will be taken up by flippin' SPF 70 so I don't turn into a lobster one day into being in Barbados. Rihanna can't see me like that.We'll see how packing goes tonight after the rehearsal...one week's worth of stuff in one carry-on....challenge accepted.

+ People keep on asking me if I'm nervous and I have to say I'm not. At least not for the reason they're thinking about. I mean come on...after 8.5 years I'm pretty positive about my relationship with this guy...I'm more so freaking out about face-planting down the stairs in my dress.

+ Despite all of the last minute hold-ups, freakouts, and the "omg I forgot about that" moments, my team of people have been UH-mazing and reassuring. I can't wait to breakout those dance moves on the big day.

+ I confess I am SO flippin' ready for this wedding to go down. I'm ready to be a Mrs.!! Bring it!!

P.S. I'll try to make a last shout out on the wedding day before I go on a week-long hiatus with the hubs!

Confessing On Hump Day!

It's go time, people! It's the final countdown until the wedding and I have quite a few confessions to make via Kathy's amaze-balls link-up!

Josh and I even picked up our wedding bands! Shit just got real...I know it's bad luck...but I'm SO tempted to just start wearing that shiny wedding band on my finger! I've waited long enough for it! I want to blind people with its awesomeness. Okay I'm done, now onto confessions!!!

* I confess that I think it's ridiculous that we celebrate Easter by eating chocolate bunnies and hiding eggs for kids to find. I just don't understand.

Source

 * I also confess that I will use any excuse to eat ridiculous amounts of chocolate in any form including that of a bunny. Oh and celebrate with Mimosas.

Source

* I just can't handle listening to trainers who are visibly more out-of-shape than I am...like...why should I listen to you? You can't even get your own shit together.

 Source

* I confess that I can't flippin' stand cars who have their whole family tree on their car....REALLY PEOPLE?

* I confess that I still talk on the phone without a hands-free device even though it's now illegal in Chicago. Now I have to be even more distracted for a prolonged period of time while I connect my hands-free device thing as my phone rings...and then...end up missing an important call...

Source

 * I confess that I completely zone out when people start bringing up kids. Yay for selective hearing. It works for many situations. Yes, I do want a family...however when that will be, will be up to Josh and me. You know, the two people in charge of that whole situation.

Source

* I confess that I love all of my bloggy blog friends and I'm trying really hard to keep up with my reading, but my life is consumed of all things wedding right now. Seating charts, wedding favors, finalized schedules for the wedding day, final payments, wedding prep (eyebrow threading, teeth whiting, hair trimming etc..) It's freaking hard to be a woman sometimes...
