Monday Confessions

Hello friends! How has two thirds of October slipped by without me confessing?! Well we've had a lot of crazy and some sickness going on but all is well today. Here's what I have to confess today...

1. The stomach virus that attacked me over the weekend, I can thank for a 3 pound weightloss. It sure wasn't pretty though...

2. I think shopping at Costco with 3 small children is totally an aerobic workout. I have at least 100 lbs of kid on the cart before I even put any groceries in it! The day I get the 55 lb dog food...forget it, it's full on iron man training! 

3. I confess that I am munching on caramel dip and honey crisp apples as I write. Delish...

4. I haven't worked out since Friday...

5. My husband totally sucked me into watching Walking Dead and I am totally hooked! I usually run the other way from horror flicks or anything not resembling BBC programming! I have to say though, the Walking Dead writing and production is really well done. I used to be in the room and pretend not to be intersted in the show but finally gave in last spring...now I have myself waiting for Sunday nights so I can hide behind the blanket while I watch!

6. Speaking of BBC programming...I confess I have already watched the first 3 episodes of Downtown Abbey Season 4! Yes, yes... that makes me an internet pirate. Forgive me, no one ever claimed perfection... (you can email or message me if you want to know where to see it) 

7. I also just read Below Stairs, a memior that inspired the Downton Abbey writer, Julian Fellows. Of course, I loved it! It was surprisingly well written for a memoir of a person who was considered not upper class in her day. I love her spirit and determination to get an education despite, age, class, etc. I couldn't stop laughing at expressions like "his face looked like the back of a bus." 

 

8. Where's the photography you ask?! I have been shooting a lot lately but need to get to the blogging part of it! I promise friends, more coming later this week!

9. I think that Dunkin' Donuts made a safe bet with the whole "free coffee if the Eagles win" thing...they only managed to get 3 points on the score board yesterday against the Cowboys. I know my dad was smiling but heaven but I of course, wanted my free coffee!

10. I will leave you with some Papaw Phil wisdom...
