Here I am, posting again on a Saturday morning. Today I'm off to the gym (for the first time in forever) and to run some errands. I'm telling you about the gym thing so you can ask me, "Hey did you go to the gym?". Because accountability.
I just can't quite get my act together enough to post on Fridays it seems. Getting Stuff and Things up by Thursday takes a lot out of me. Setting up the link up and all…
Anyhow…
Here's some confessions.
+I bought
these shoes at Famous Footwear a couple of weeks ago because I wanted something slightly dressier than my TOMS (because I do wear my TOMS to school) and I thought these would work. They're comfortable and don't give me blisters and…as soon as I walked into school with them, I realized why they looked so familiar.
One of my students has them. I like her though, so it's okay.
+This is the folder I use for storing all of my "to-be graded" papers. That label has seen better days.
Last year, my students gave me so many Frozen stickers that I had to put them somewhere because kids watch you when they give you stuff. You have to wait if you want to throw things away. The stickers stayed and carried over into this year.
+I haven't had a haircut since February.
+Last weekend, I let my phone die on purpose. I didn't check it from Friday night until Sunday afternoon. It was kind of wonderful.
+I'm very over people pimping out their Stitchfix affiliate links. Come on, bloggers. You're better than that. I bought my own Stitchfix boxes for 6 months last year. No one gave me any credits and I didn't really expect anyone to. When you say you "kept the whole box!" and spent two-hundred-odd dollars on 5 pieces of clothing but "THANK YOU!" to everyone who gave referral credits, I'm not really sure how I feel about you. I almost want to say "Please stop being cheap" and then I also want to say, "If you can't afford Stitchfix, just stop". Also,
read this article about Stitchfix. (Edit: I hold no ill will against you if you tell me about your Stitchfix. I actually like seeing what people choose to keep. Just don't ask me to pay for it.)
+I am incapable of making hard-boiled eggs. Maybe it's because there is probably no other food I'd rather not eat than hard-boiled eggs. They make me throw up. A lot of people enjoy them though, including Scott. So I try. I've tried every method, every which way, and they always end up not how they're supposed to be. I don't understand how I can make so many different foods and desserts with success…but cannot hard boil an egg. It's becoming a problem.
And that's it. Anything to confess? Can you hard boil eggs? Do you wax poetic about how wonderful Stitchfix is?
