Friday Confessions

by Lauren on January 25, 2013

Even though it’s Friday and most of you are psyched for the weekend, I’m still having a hard time understanding what day of the week it is.  Right now, my weekends are filled with work so I’m guessing my “Friday” will end up being your Monday.  No worries, I’m adaptable.

I haven’t posted a Friday Confessions in a few weeks but I’m determined to stay on track with these.  If not for you, for me.  I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to confess a slew of random thoughts, even if no one truly cares.  One of the perks of writing a blog I suppose.

Confession #1-

Guys, I don’t know who I am anymore but I’ve been staying up until 1am and not waking up until 9am.  It’s glorious!  I feel like a normal young adult.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see anything upsetting with a 8pm bedtime, but living in Chicago, I realize that most of this city doesn’t really get started until after dark.  It was rough for the first few days but THANK GOD for the endless amount of Starbucks in this city.

Confession #2-

I did this ab workout today and almost didn’t finish.  It’s been a few weeks since I’ve really worked my abs and my goodness, I could tell.

Confession #3-

I tasted 12 different varieties of wine my first night working at the wine bar. My boss informed me that the only way I will be able to recommend and learn the wines is to taste them. Of course I couldn’t disagree, but I really wasn’t planning on getting lit my first day of work.  I think I’m going to like this job.

Confession #4-

I bought this rose/gold watch the other night and I’m in love! God love dear Chelsey for putting up with my indecisiveness as I contemplated between the white or the black for a good 25 minutes.  Ultimately, I’m happy I went with the white, but I’m already planning on going back tomorrow to get the black as well.  A girl can not have enough accessories right?

Confession #5-

I’m all about the Of Monsters and Men station on Pandora right now.  For 6 solid weeks, I couldn’t take it off The Lumineers, but I think I’m over it for now.  I do need a little more variety in my music query so if anyone has any suggestions, I’m taking requests.

Well, that’s all I have off the top of my head.  Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

 

Question: 

Are you a night owl or an early riser?

We are snowed in and I am SO glad you just posted that AB workout. I am about to do it right now because I cannot get out to workout! Thanks girl!

Andrea @Pencils and Pancakes January 25, 2013 at 4:44 pm

That watch is HOTT!

“Are you a night owl or an early riser?” Hmmmm, I think that’s an unfair question for me working overnights haha. But I find I’m most productive in the evening/nights!

That watch is gorgeous :) And I went from being a complete night owl, to an early riser, and now falling somewhere in between. I still tend to naturally wake up at 6 without much of a problem, but the difference is that now I’m no longer passing out at 9. It only becomes a problem when I have a few nights in a row of not getting to bed until 1…

I love the watch!

I’m an early riser but this cold weather is making me rethink that at the moment.

Katie @ Talk Less, Say More January 25, 2013 at 5:26 pm

I highly suggest Ben Howard. I’m obsessed and told one of my coworkers and she sent me a text the other day that she’s now obsessed as well. :)

Lauren January 26, 2013 at 12:56 am

I am obsessed with Ben Howard. Oh girl, I have been all over that station for months! :) It’s fantastic right?!

Anne January 25, 2013 at 6:01 pm

I am a freakishly early riser too!
Hopefully I can relax that as I integrate into my new city too! It’s hard to make friends with people your age when you’re falling asleep before you even get to the bar :)

Lauren January 26, 2013 at 12:56 am

Haha truth!

kim@hungryhealthygirl January 25, 2013 at 6:16 pm

Totally an early riser! I LOVE that watch and thanks for sharing the ab workout….I’m in need of changing things up in the ab department.

Clare @ Fitting It All In January 25, 2013 at 6:25 pm

1. you ARE crazy! I’m sleeping until like 7 or 8 and staying up until 11, which is crazy for me! Haven’t pushed it as far as you yet:)
2. i want to try that workout

Lauren January 26, 2013 at 12:55 am

Haha, I’m still easing into it. :)

Erica @ For the Sake of Cake January 25, 2013 at 8:11 pm

Love the watch!

Emily @ Hungry Delights January 26, 2013 at 7:57 pm

The watch is gorgeous. I am loving rose gold at the moment. Your bar job sounds super fun.. nothing better than your boss encouraging you to drink wine!

I love that watch! I am not really a night owl or early bird. I am probably in the middle.

Sara @ sarasmiles January 27, 2013 at 7:56 pm

Holy moly my abs hurt just reading that sequence! Now is the time I would usually say “I’ll have to try that!” but I don’t think I want to…
Of Monsters and Men is what my pandora station is set to too! Best to listen to when making dinner.
Sounds like Chicago is great!!

Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl January 27, 2013 at 9:12 pm

Gorgeous watch! And the white will be absolutely perfect for this coming spring and summer. It will be here before you know it! :)

Sarah @ making thyme for health January 28, 2013 at 3:46 pm

I loved the wine tasting part of working for a restaurant. It really does allow you to choose your favorites and make recommendations.

I like Mumford & sons on pandora and Phillip Phillips. Although the latter plays country in the mix which is not my fav.
