Hey everyone! Is it just me or does time speed up exponentially in the summer months? It’s like the cold, winter months go by at super snail pace, but then the warm months where everyone wants to relax and have fun in the sun whip on by!
Oh well, it’s the first Wednesday of the month so you know what that means- Confession time!
Food Confessions:
- I confess that I totally ate a peanut butter sandwich for dinner two nights last week. I just wasn’t craving anything and it seemed like the most logical, no-effort meal.
- Until last week I hadn’t ate at Subway in over 3 years! Although it’s good, it’s just never a restaurant that pops into my head when I’m out and about. Apparently the $5 footlong isn’t a thing anymore either!
Beauty Confessions:
- Ya’ll know I’m all about makeup and beauty trends, but tightlining (applying eyeliner to the upper waterline) freaks me out.. I cringe when Youtubers do it on camera and shudder at the thought of doing it on myself.
- I’ve never used an eyelash curler. Never. I’ve been blessed with long lashes that have a natural curl to them so I’ve never seen the necessity.
Random Confessions:
- I always have the best intentions to go to bed early, and then it’s like all of a sudden my brain goes into overdrive remembering all the things I need to do/finish. Before I know it I’m laying my head down on the pillow 2 hours later, exhausted.
- I make lists just so I can cross things off of them. Haha this is weird, I know.
Pet Peeve of the Week:
When people hold up traffic in the passing lane. I mean is there anything MORE annoying out there?! Every time I travel somewhere there’s always that one car that does nothing but ride in the passing lane the entire time, and holds up traffic because you know there’s always 74 18-wheelers you’re going to get stuck behind in the right lane, so next thing you know you’re going 35 on the interstate. All because of that one annoying car.
Humor/Funnies
Hope you all have a great Wednesday!- Cara
Linking up with Humpday Confessions, Wonderful Wednesday, What’s Happening Wednesday, Wow Me Wednesday, Thursday Favorite Things, and Think Tank Thursday
Couldn’t agree with you more about people who are casually cruising in the passing lane on the highway! It drives me (and my boyfriend) insane! Lovely confessions post for the month, Cara! It’s a great way to learn a little bit more about the blogger!
Haha, it is definitely a pet peeve of mine for sure! I always love reading these by other people too! 🙂
Subway is never a restaurant that pops into my head either, but my husband LOVES jersey mikes and subway so he is always eating it!
I was sitting here eating it kind of like wow, I forgot how good subway is, but I just never think of it! lol
Cereal is my go to for when nothing sounds good. I make lists all the time. Makes me feel good to mark stuff off. Like I really accomplished something.
Oh good I’m glad others share my quirk with marking things off lists haha! My mom loves eating cereal too!
I do the list thing too!! I have to feel like I’m accomplishing something! Mind games for sure! I don’t crave much in the way of food in the summer. Much too hot.
I agree! It’s like I never want anything real heavy or greasy, and a PB sandwich just really appealed to me! lol 🙂
Ok, I haven’t had Subway in SO long I had no clue that the $5 footlong wasn’t a thing any more either. And YES to that fine meme! Fine never means fine! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Yes, I was pretty bummed. They were like ma’am that ended 2 years ago. I’m like wow, I’ve apparently been living in a bubble- lol!
Is there really no more $5 footlong???! What? Next thing there will be no more $5.55 hot-n-ready pizza at Little Caesar’s. I actually at at Subway today but I’ve been away from the USA for two years so I don’t know what the prices are anymore, haha!
Yes, it was such a bummer! It’s kind of like how all the dollar menu items are almost $2 now. & you just reminded me I need to eat Little Ceasar’s soon! haha 🙂
Hahahhaha the fine scale is so true!!! I haven’t had Subway in forever either. I prefer Jimmy Johns or Which Which. And now that they don’t even have the $5 footlong thing going for them? Probably never step foot in there again lol. I’ve had peanut butter sandwiches for dinner before. It is a viable option and totally legit! And nothing enrages me more than someone that wants to go super slow in the fast lane. Ugh!
Yes, I was so bummed. I’m like well I WAS going to become a loyal customer again but… haha The fine thing is sort of an inside joke with my husband. He now knows when I say I’m fine, I’m totally not fine. 😉
I get the same feeling you do about the eyeliner! It could actually infect your eye applying it like that! YIKES! I love your idea of a thought free meal! I have done the same… many times!
I pretty much have to make PB&J sandwiches all the time for my kiddos for lunch, so I was like hmm I think I’ll have one for myself! 😉
Girl, not weird! If I do something that wasn’t on my to-do list, I’ll add it to my to-do list just to immediately cross it off. 😉
Lol! I do the same thing!! Glad to know others do it too, now I don’t feel as weird. haha 🙂
Ugh! Left lane hang-outers are the worst! Then, when you pass them, they give you this look like, “What?” Grrr…
I, too, have to be careful not to indulge in a second wind right before bedtime. I can’t allow myself to do anything. Seriously, a harmless little “I’ll take a moment or two and put away some clothes” turns into a two hour organizational task. I’m all about tidying up, but during the hour or so before bedtime, I have to remember to just say no! LOL!
Happy Wednesday to you!
Yes, I think our brains seriously re-charges itself or something. I need to start setting a certain wind-down time so I’m not so exhausted. Happy Wednesday!
LOL at the meme for Target vs. Walmart and the curlers! A peanut butter sandwich for dinner two nights in a row sounds yummy and easy! And I couldn’t agree more about the fun summer months flying by while the dreary cold winter months go by much slower. Enjoy every last ounce of this beautiful summer <3
Green Fashionista
Haha it’s so true! You go into Wal-mart and everyone is wearing pajamas but in Target people are dressed up! Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer too! 🙂
They are actually getting ready to pass a law here about the passing lane in Kentucky. NEEDS TO HAPPEN. its ridiculous when people go 45 in it.
I love a good PB sandwich for dinner. Add in some chocolate chips on it next time to make it ‘classy’ 🙂
There’s a law in TN on it, but VA as per usual hasn’t jumped on board yet… lol Oh yum adding chocolate chips sounds decadent!
I totally make lists just to cross things off of them too! It just makes me feel so much more accomplished! Two weeks ago when I was traveling we got stuck behind someone going 60 in an 80 mph zone and it was SO frustrating and they refused to get over for like 10 mins. I almost lost it!
Lol, I don’t even normally get road rage or anything, but it really is annoying when you’re trying to get somewhere. Plus the cop wife in me is always like “This could easily cause a wreck”-haha
haha that cat telling everyone to go away…that’s me all the time. people ask if i have plans and I always say “yes”….those plans are going home to do nothing but nothing LOL.
Lol! I’m the same way girl, no shame! They don’t need to know our plans involve sitting on the couch under a blanket, binge watching netflix, and eating junk! 😉
Tight lining freaks me out too! I have tried it and have poked myself in the eye with the liner haha I ALWAYS say ok, TONIGHT I’m going to bed early and it never happens! I have such road rage and hate when ppl hold up traffic!
I’ve heard it can cause infection in your eye too which also makes me leery. Nothing’s worth getting an eye infection over! Haha, I did manage to get to sleep at 9:30 last night, but my brain was all, you could go fold the clothes or watch a couple episodes of Netflix..lol 😉
Ditto to subway and drivers! Although, my confession is probably a bigger pet peeve with people that stand on the escalators on the left side so no one else can pass. It’s a big deal here in Washington, D.C.! 🙂
Oh I can imagine that gets old too! I think some people are just seriously oblivious of their surroundings-lol!
Hahah I love this! So glad someone else shares the same pet peeve with me. My fiancé thinks I am crazy for this, but it literally DRIVES ME INSANE!
xo, Amanda | http://www.thegoldengirldiary.com
Thank-you! Glad to know there are others out there who share my annoyance lol 😉
haha I love lists so I can cross things off too, I even will write, eat breakfast, eat lunch, just so I have something to cross off, just in case the other more important things don’t get done, hehe.
Haha, I’ve been known to do that once or twice! 😉
Love this post! Tightlining sounds so creepy! I am the same way with lists! Scratching things off makes me feel like I actually accomplished something. 🙂

It is creepy Sarah! haha It makes me shudder everytime I watch someone do it! And yes to lists! 🙂
Love that first quote!
Thanks!
I haven’t been to Subway in 3 years and the last time was because my husband wanted it–we lived in a remote part of Hawaii and it was in our neighborhood 🙂 and never needed an eyelash curler either and when I tried to use one once it just freaked me out having it so close to my eye! Lol 🙂
Lol! Yeah I always had this fear that clamping them in an eyelash curler would cause them to fall out, which would be pretty horrible! haha
I used an eyelash curler in high school and had still been hanging onto it. I haven’t used it in 10 years (my lashes are long enough for my liking). Yet I still have it!
Yeah, it’s weird how we sometimes hold onto things for so long. I’m the same way with certain items.
I love your beginning quote! Peanut butter is never a bad idea. And subway is my least favorite sandwich shop to eat at. It just doesn’t do it for me. Ugh, so true with the fast lane! Why, just why?!?
Beautifully Candid
Haha, thank-you I do too!
I have eyelash curlers but never use them. Lol. Great post! Nothing wrong with peanutbutter sammiches. And I do the same always rushing around to get everything done before bed.
Yay! Glad you share the love for PB sandwiches too! 🙂
Sometimes tapping in to those childhood favorites (PB sandwich) is just necessary! I’ve been cheating with cereal lately and it tastes soooooo good!
I agree! I love eating cereal too! 🙂
Love your honesty! <3
Thanks! 🙂
OMG Oatmeal Raisin will be the end of my sanity! Lol. That is great.
I totally understand the peanut butter sandwiches. There is no shame in a comfort food for dinner!
Haha, I don’t even necessarily mind oatmeal raisin, but when I expect chocolate chip it better be chocolate chip! haha 🙂
this is cute! love hearing your confessions. never used an eyelash curler? I wish i never started. my lashes were so great until I did…haha, but they’re okay now!
Thanks! Oh gosh, what happened? Now I’m intrigued haha!
They just seemed to not want to grow or be as long as they used to. I probably damaged them by overusing it! haha
Ah ok! I was just concerned they fell out or something (that’s always been my fear haha) I realize this is probably crazy irrational! 😉
YASSSS to your random confessions! I seriously cannot get my brain to shut off ever! I’m a huge list maker too! I just love the satisfaction of crossing things off.
I wish there was an on/off button! Would make sleeping much easier!-haha
I totally do the list one too! You’re not alone. I love the satisfaction of crossing things off.

Oh good! Now I don’t feel as weird lol!
I so hate when people ride slow in the passing lane. It drives me insane! I can not remember a time that I have ever used an eye lash curler either. They kind of freak me out. Lol. That little boy in the picture of trying to stay positive at work is def me lately!!
Haha me too girl! That’s me all day, everyday at work! 🙂
I have been craving pancakes like nobody’s business — I ate them at least three times for dinner last week. I can’t stop ha ha! I tried using an eyelash curler once just to see and it was horrible. I am lucky that I do not need one either. Also, that little boy at “work” so me this week ha ha.
Ahh brinner is the best!! Especially with pancakes involved! 😉
this makes me LOL every time. First of all, peanut butter sandwich is delicious and I frequently have that for supper. Second.. fine will never mean “fine.” One time I said “I’m fine” and I legitimately meant it and my husband looked terrified……. 🙂
Hahah that’s so funny! My husband now knows if I ever say I’m fine, he needs to run for the hills! lol 😉
I know what you mean about wanting to go to bed and suddenly remembering everything you need to do! It’s the worst!
Greta | http://www.gretahollar.com
Yes it is! I really wish there was an off button sometimes!
Love this post! You’re so funny 🙂
Summer is definitely going by too quickly and I don’t like it at all!
Thanks Emma! I agree, it needs to slow down! 🙂
Yeah I hate it when I drive to work and these so called drivers stay in that fast lane and I am like move. It drives your mommy crazy but I am like these people need to have there license taken from them. I think you get your long eye lashes from me cause I had a woman at work tell me she loved my long eye lashes. I told her thanks and my wife loves them, and I love my wife. Anyway that is a story I will need to tell you some time in the future. Love the post. Love you.. Dad
Lol, like that shirt says- Lead, follow, or get out of the way! Love you all too!
I’m the same way, I never get to bed when I wanted to. I love sleep and it still never happens.
I know, it’s so frustrating! It’s like brain can you please calm down? haha
Those gifs are hilarious. I haven’t seen anyone applying eye liner to their upper waterline. I have to look that up!
Hopefully it doesn’t bother you like it does me, I literally shudder looking at it! lol
I love making lists just to cross stuff off! I do it at the end of most days so I can feel like I accomplished SOMETHING that I meant to do. 😉
Haha, I do that too sometimes. And I’ll put really easy stuff like eat lunch, eat dinner on there so I for sure am always crossing off at least something-lol
Those funnies are hilarious…especially the Target/Walmart one. That eyeliner thing freaks me out too. I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier every night this week, and it’s just not happening. Ugh. Then, the mornings just suck.
Funny story, I’ve literally been in bed by 9 pm every night this week, but still somehow manage to not fall asleep until close to 10 because my brain won’t calm down lol. I need to figure out a relaxing method or something.
Great post. Really need to try out a list post.
Thanks!
I haven’t used a curler on my lashes either – it scares me! Haha love these funnies girl!
Thank-you! 🙂
I eat PBJs for dinner all the time! I work late (and commute from NYC to Long Island) so sometimes when I get home I need to eat something that requires zero effort and 2-minute prep time. It’s a no brainer!
I’ve also never used an eyelash curler before; same reason as you. Also they scare me.
Haha me too! I was always afraid it would make them fall off or something-lol!
Love, love,loved this!! I do not use a eyelash curler either!!! And, I loved the pic of the seal and the raisin cookie. Lol. That has happened to me numerous times.
Xoxo,
Angelle

Thank-you! Lol, nobody ever wants to think it’s chocolate chip and then it be oatmeal raisin! 😉
I’m the same way when it comes to food and sleeping. I’m SUCH a night owl. I could stay up all night to get stuff done, but then HATE waking up in the morning. And my go-to meal is soup, so that I don’t have to put in a ton of work. hahah
Yes, I know the feeling! I love having soup in the winter time especially! It’s such a comfort food! 🙂
I have no idea how anyone can tightline! It makes my eyes water just thinking about it
Lol, mine too!! I don’t even think the end result is that different either.
Subway never crosses my mind either…so weird.
I recently started using an eyelash curler because I didn’t need to, but boy it makes a HUGE difference in how pretty the lashes look. Haha!
xo, Lily
Beauty With Lily
You have gorgeous lashes! I guess I’ve just never thought I needed to use one, plus they kindof scare me-haha
Haha! The I’m Fine one is so true!
My husband has figured that one out all too well! haha 😉
I totally agree with your pet peeve! And I like just plain peanut butter sandwiches with Wavy Lays chips:)
