Confessions of a BloggerHolic #52 [Link-Up]
Good morning! We’ve got snow on the horizon (well…they’re predicting flurries on Sunday) and all of us are crossing our fingers that it sticks to the ground so we will have a Snow Day on Monday! Yes, I’m getting ahead of myself as it’s only Wednesday. But, I’ve been refreshing the weather app all week long like a crazy person. I guess that’s what you do when you live in eastern TN. (If you’ve got a few minutes, watch this video of a Johnson City teacher singing about Snow Days. It’s exactly how I feel every single time there is even a 5% chance of snow).
And since it’s Wednesday (the day of Confessions), I might as well confess that I think I love Snow Days more than the students do. Even though I tell them that I’m pretty bummed to be missing school. I don’t think I actually feel all that bummed.
Here are some other confessions from this past week. As always, play along in the comments or leave your own Confessions post in the link-up below!
Confession:
The people in the McDonalds Drive-Thru might be my best friends. Yesterday morning, I told them I was from California (on my first go-around when I picked up an unsweetened iced tea). And then on my second-go around (for a Diet Coke), they asked me all sorts of questions about California. Because they recognized me. Because I’m brown. But, also because it’s probably pretty rare that someone go through the drive-thru twice in two hours.
Confession:
I came home from work and crawled into my bed for two hours yesterday. Thank goodness for friends like Nicole who force me to go to Step Aerobics when all I want to do is eat buckets of chocolate and drink gallons of wine.
Confession:
Remember when I surprised my Secret Pal at work with lots and lots and lots of candy back in November/December? Well, she is clearly better at moderating her chocolate intake than I am. She got called in for Jury Duty this week and I watched her class for 15 minutes on Monday afternoon. I noticed she still had a ton of the chocolate I left on her desk. So, obviously, I snagged me a few pieces. Like a thief. Or an Indian giver.
Questions of the Day:
- When was the last time you went through the drive-thru? What did you order?
- What’s your favorite kind of chocolate?
- ‘FESS UP! Tell me your secrets.

Oh my goodness I had forgotten how we used to be at our Chick-fil-A drive through. It was right on the way to mommy and me Spanish 🙂 🙂 and on the way back… I would hit that thing up for drinks and fruit at least seven times a week sometimes twice a day!!
Step aerobics class sounds fun! I haven’t done one in years, but I would love to go back to one!
I went through a drive thru today. I hate to say that because I don’t do it often. But my teen is always hungry and I had a few stops before home, so I indulged him with a burger. I like most any type of real chocolate, in small pieces. I much prefer the fun sized or individual pieces to a big candy bar for some reason, but I’ll eat my weight in those little things in one sitting if I am not careful. That’s weird that your friend had leftover chocolate, I’d have eaten it all long ago!
There are days I wish I had the time to go back to bed, but I’m one of those people that usually wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. If I’m going through a drive-thru it’s probably for my oldest.
I’m doing a little diet competition PLUS a gave up soda for a 21 day fast we’re doing at church. I haven’t been through the drive through in a while; however, I’m dying to drive through any fast food joint for a very large soda!
I love snow days too! I really wish we would have one soon, but it’s in the 50s here.
Have you heard of Ovomaltine? The traditional Swiss chocolate? I love it! This is my confession 😀
Haha I went through the drivethru yesterday because I was craving a McDonald’s smoothie like crazy. I had to scrounge around the house for change to do it!
I go through the drive thru often 😉 I love my fries. And my Diet Coke. The people at McDonalds know me too.
Mmm, I’d steal some chocolate as well. Love it.
I love snow days myself, I wish we had that this year but unfortunately no snow here. Yesterday on my way back from the doctor I had to go through drive because I wanted their chicken nuggets.
Haha it’s not cuz your brown or went through the drive thru twice it’s because you ordered an unsweetened tea. I use the drive thru when I’m in a hurry. It’s so convenient with kids. Favorite candy bars are Snickers, Butterfingers and Reese Peanutbutter Cup.
You are adorable 🙂 I used to be very friendly with the people at the Dunkin’ Donuts in my town… so much so, that I got the inside gossip of who was sleeping together and which customers were crazy. It was kind of amazing.
LOL I love that you snuck chocolate you gave to your coworker. Whatevs. It’s fair game if it’s at the workplace, right? 🙂
Hope you’re having a great week, my sweet!
Oh my goodness, I love this. I would love to link up but I don’t a confessions post yet. lol Awesome idea and sounds like so much fun. I will eventually get that far! Thank you!
Your drive-thru story made me laugh so much. I’m a serial Starbucks stalker – they pretty much know me at the drive-thru window, in fact once they reminded me that I’d forgotten to add the sugar to my latte order. It’s really something when the staff know how you like your coffee better than you do. Lol!
I will fess up that I too….. LOVE crawling into bed in the early evening and just chilling out for a hot second. Rarely happens, but those days as majestic! LOL!
Here in the city of Arizona it only gets chilly during the winter. Snow would be nice but that only happens up north in the mountains!
I’m actually pretty good with staying away from the drive-thru (for a little while..lol) but chocolate is my weakness, especially Oh Henry Bars!
hahah my confession, I changed out of my pajamas, showered, and put on new pajamas lol. It has been a pajama kind of week at my house this week.
Thanks for your honesty- glad to know I’m not the only one who looks forward to naps after work 🙂
I used to rarely hit up drive-thrus, however when I’m starving and I have sleeping kids in the car, I tend to swing by Starbuck.
Hahaha! McDonald’s is my guilty pleasure. Chicken McNuggets and a coke please. Your confessions post are awesome!
Ha! I found this so easy to relate to! Thanks for the post!
LOL! I LOVED the McDonald’s confession. LOL! Also, my favorite chocolate is Toblerone honey-almond white chocolate.
I love this concept! Mc Donalds is a no-no in my world but how observant that they remembered you! lol
I love dark chocolate. The darker the better. The McDonald thing cracked me up!
It cracks me up on your view of a snow day vs. someone like me who is stuck up in Indiana! They’re saying flurries tonight and we all want to cry! I understand the friends at McDonalds, I feel that way about our local coffee shop.
I love snow days too! Love your confession.
Cool post! Come to think of it I have not yet gone through a drive-through this year! And I may just try to hold out as much as I can because last year I went through the drive-through a lot and ruined my healthy diet…haha!
Great confessions! I am totally the coworker that will eat chocolate off your desk if you leave it! They should just KNOW BETTER than to tempt me like that!
this is such a great post. i love snow days too and ALWAYS wish for them, even if they are rarely given. we’re supposed to get snow sunday too – ill keep my fingers crossed for both of us!
The last time I went through a drive-thru was two weeks ago when I picked up my daughter from school early. I ordered a light coffee and small french fry for me and a small french fry and orange Hi-C for my daughter. It was a little snack before mommy/daughter shopping.
I went through a drive thru a few days ago. I ordered a chicken basket meal. It was so delicious! I love white chocolate because I have a thing for vanilla (:
As a mom of a 4 yo I don’t mind the occasional snow day; but last time we were stuck in the house for 4 days…that was 1 day too many!
haha Just loved your McDonalds confession! We just got home from Chick-fil-A right now!
McDonalds fries + Chocolate sound good right now. I’m not gross, I swear! It’s just that salty-sweet thing haha
Hahaha I feel that way when it comes to some of the restaurants my hubby and I love going to! I know the owners by name and they remember who I am. #noshame
Also, I LOVE the new blog look. It’s so cute and YOU. <3
The last time I went through the drive-thru was on Friday. My son was starved after his soccer game so we picked up some food. My favorite type of chocolate is milk-chocolate. But I’ll take any chocolate. 🙂
I swear that I live at McDonalds most weeks LOL. My son is a super picky eater but he will wolf down those chicken nuggets and apple slices as many times as we can go up there.
I actually don’t remember the last time I went through the drive through, but that Diet Coke looks sooooo refreshing!!! Doesn’t McDonald’s have the best pop?!?!?
I used to get a breakfast sandwich when I was in high school once or twice a week with my mom and the drive thru lady knew my mom and i–it was lovely! I honestly think it’s been 2 years since I’ve gone through a drive thru and gotten anything!
Confession? I cant go one single day without eating chocolate and peanut butter! They dont have to be in combination with one another but they must happen!
It is funny how every bloggers life and daily rituals are so different
Haha! That song is hilarious! I remember when I was a kid hoping it would be hot enough for enough days in a row so we could get a day off school… it never happened though, and there was absolutely no chance of a snow day happening ever over here.
PS on the whole wine issue I managed to go for a 8km run followed by fish and chips and a wine (with my friend, who obviously thinks the same way I do) – they cancel each other out, right!?
I’m so jealous of you! I would love to crawl into my bed and stay there for hours and not be bothered at all!

We don’t eat out very often, but once a month usually when I have my midwife appointment we stop and I get a burger, fries, and soda. I am bad about soda!
I am guilty of that drive thru thing. I was in one yesterday, ordering a Bacon Mushroom Melt and a large Coke. Goodbye diet! Haha. I don’t have any particular favorite brand of chocolate, but if I have some, I want it to be the dark chocolate with hazelnuts kind.
It’s been a long time since I last stopped at Mcdonald’s! It’s nice though, when the crew recognizes you, lol. I’d love to have a friend who drags me out of bed to workout!
i love dark chocolate with almond and sea salt.
Haha! I’ve gone through the drive thru twice in a row because I had to do 3 separate orders and they would only let me do 2. soo… I just drove around one more time. 😀 I hope you get your snow day lol
I went through a smoothie king drive thru today and normally I hate it when the person at the window wants to talk to me but today I didn’t… lol #confession.
As for chocolate, anything with a chocolate and caramel mix! Yum!
You are too funny. Love your confessions, it’s something I should try to do more of. They say confession is good for the soul….
I am Canadian so in typical Canadian fashion my last drive-thru trip was at Tim Hortons, as was my one before that and the one before that. I go there a couple times a day, I do also occassionally go through the drive-thru at Subway or Burger King but not often as I’m not big on fast food
I haven’t tried any drive-thru! Hahaha probably becauee I rarely take fastfoods. But I have a question – awhat is Jury Duty? It seems that it is a must? or required?
Usually, I go to Starbucks drive-thru a couple of times during a week but the day before yesterday, I went to Taco Bell drive-thru. They were super quick compared to the drive-in.
I totally understand crawling into bed and not getting up! With how busy I’ve been and working out all I want to do is crawl into bed at night!
Got a kick out of your confessions. Got many of my own but I love the chocolate one! That’s how I am about ice cream. It’s just unhealthy. Specially when you offer it to your kids for dessert when the container is almost empty and you’re secretly praying they’re going to say no. Sigh…
The folks in my McDonald’s drive thru know my name and order by heart. soooooo yeah. =]
Love the post!!
I used to work at a school in the US and I LOVED snow days. In fact if snow was predicated, I made sure I went to the store beforehand so that’d I’d have all kinds of yummy goodies and could sleep in, make breakfast, marathon Netflix, etc. Now I live in Spain where drive throughs and snow days are less frequent.
Love this! I share your same confession about post-work naps. Oh, and naps on Saturday or Sunday afternoon too. Those are the best things EVER. I love chocolate too! My colleague across the hall always has a big bowl of almond Kisses on his desk. I have to turn my head away whenever I walk past, or I would eat the whole bowl every day. Struggles.
My sister is a teacher so she always loves her snow days! Hmmm, the last time I was in the drive-thru it was probably for McDonalds. That’s usually the one I hit here in our town.
Anywhere that provides coffee straight to my car (whether it be in sludge or gourmet form) is my favorite place in the world! If i don’t have to drag 5 kids out of the car for my caffein fix on the go, it’s AMAZING
I have never met a piece of chocolate I didn’t like. 😉 I rarely ever go through the drive thru unless I am traveling. lol
aerobics class is somethign that i always wanted to do! been always busy and cant find time to do it! but now that i have an inspiration, i think i should go find some aerobics class!
Last drive thru – Chick Fil A – my daughter has food allergies and this is the only fast food place we can go to. I ordered my normal – spicy chicken sandwich, and her a kids meal. Favorite chocolate – can’t pick one, I love them all!
I love snowy weather! Unfortunately I live in South Africa so it never snows here and our winter is only in June. Boo!
Great post and I literally laughed out loud when I read about your Christmas Pal “indian giver” move. So funny!
I don’t really do drive-thrus because I hate everything about fast food, but I’m totally with you on the gallons of wine. I should probably go do aerobics now.
Its only been about a week since i went through the drive thru, and it was at Dunkin Donuts for a coffee and a bagel. My favorite chocolate is Ghirardelli with the caramel in the middle. One of my confessions is that i hate working out lol its just not for me! I mean…i get my exercise in other ways, but the gym and having a workout routine is bleh.
I am usually going through the Dunkin Donuts drive through…so it is mostly always an extra large coffee with cream 🙂 Actually, I need some right now!
I also like snow days because that means I don’t have to get up so early!! And did you really eat her chocolate? ha ha ha!
How was the step aerobics class? I hear they are fun but I’ve never tried one.
Leaving her candies behind? I think she asked for it lol I would take a few too 😛
Love the secret confessions. But I’m with you, idk if I would still have chocolate left after all this time lol
When the people at McDonald’s hand me over my sweet tea ( and it’s actually good that day) I think they are my best friends too. I love that you excercise. I so need to.
The last time I went through a drive thru was at chick fil a. I ordered the basic chicken sandwich and fries as well as an oreo shake! It was lovely even though it was a ton of calories I didn’t need. My favorite kind of chocolate has to be milk chocolate! And one blogger secret I have is that I am kind of inconsistent with my blogging.
I’m not one for fast food and really can’t remember the last time I had any
I love this!!!!! Your blog is exactly the type of stuff I love to read 🙂 I’ve never been to the drive thru twice in a couple hours but I wouldn’t put it past me 😉 Love your blog!
I am a serial Chick-Fil-A drive thru customer. I order the Kids meal and instead of the toy I get an ice cream cone.
I confess that I am NOT good at moderating chocolate intake… especially lindor dark chocolate truffles. Yumm!
Hahaha too funny about the drive thru!! We have a pizza restaurant legit right around the corner and that’s how it is there with me.
I used to love working in a drive through because I made friends with all of the regulars! People love to chat when you’re handing them food 😉
So how do you manage to get unsweetened tea? I just moved to the south and every time I order unsweetened tea, I get sweet! Lol
We have absolutely no drive throughs in our town here in Norway. So I haven’t been through a drive through in nearly two years.
I actually go through the drive-thru quite often. I rarely have time to cook during the week so we eat out a lot. We’ve encountered some very nice people working there.
The first time I went through a drive through was at a Jack in The Box in the late 1960’s.
