Good morning! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Apparently, I’ve missed sharing my secrets with the blogging universe. Either that or I miss doing embarrassing things and having you folks soothe my bruised ego by telling me I’m not all that embarrassing.
So, here we go. Here are some confessions from this past week. As always, play along in the comments and share a confession. Or just drop your own “Confessions” link in the link-up below!
1) I’ve had a 5-day weekend and I’m still not ready to go back to work.
These “Illness Days” that the county gives us are just making me lazy and uninterested in working. As much as I appreciate the time off, there is something to be said about sticking to a routine.
2) Last week, two wine glasses were broken. And, last night, we broke both of our corkscrews.
Do you think that it’s a sign from the universe that I should slow down the wine intake? I ended up using that wooden spoon to push the cork into the bottle. But, maybe the Wine Gods are telling me something. (That it’s National Margarita Day and I should be drinking a margarita instead?)
3) I spent this past weekend in Atlanta and I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten how to be functional in a city.
I have been in the country for far too long. Driving in a city was significantly harder than it’s ever been before. And seeing tall buildings just made me equal parts giddy and terrified.
Questions of the Day:
- Are you celebrating National Margarita Day?
- Are you a city folk or a country folk?
- ‘FESS UP! Tell me a secret.
Now It’s Your Turn!

Never too much wine! 😉 And long weekends for sure made me lazy too 🙂

Oh no, sorry about your wine classes!
I won’t be celebrating national margarita day. I’ve never really been a fan of the drink unless I’m already drunk.

Wine has never been a bad thing, at least I think so and am sooo guilty on also pushing the cork down with a wooden spoon which I think is totally necessary. Loved it.
Love wine! I am a country girl who loves a good city!
Five days off, nice! Cheers to new wine glasses and corkscrews. Xoxo
Love the look into your real life! There are so many perfect photos on blogs and amazing lives and it’s nice to remember that everyone has days where wine glasses break 🙂
i would totally celebrate national margarita day if i wasn’t pregnant with my second ha! put me down for a rain check in 2 months 😉 so glad i came across your blog friend!
LOL! Yep! I think the universe is telling you to calm down with the wine – HAHAHAHAH!
Universe is saying get new wine glasses! 😘
I love these posts!! Hey, every now and then we break a wine glass or two–maybe it’s a sign that you are due to go shopping for pretty wine glasses?! Don’t you love how I can flip the script on this whole universe thing?
I need structure too… sometimes working from home is so difficult because I get easily distracted and it’s been ages since I’ve been in a real office environment.
Xoxo

Long weekends make it so hard to go back tow ork or normal life. I totally get it!
I’m with you on not wanting to go back to work after a looooong weekend! This working for a living can be the pitts sometimes, except when your paycheque comes in and you can buy more wine. There is always a bright side to everything :).
This was a fun post. I’m a country folk and enjoy the peace and tranquility this type of living provides me. I’m looking forward to following your blog and getting to know you more.
Have a terrific day!
hahaha. The wine glasses and cork screws crack me up. I have had weeks like that for sure!

Schools closed due to illness? I haven’t heard of anything like that before! And Atlanta traffic is ROUGH. I hate driving there.
Nah, the Universe is telling you to get better wine glasses and corkscrews! Wine is the nectar of the gods 🙂

Wow illness days?? I’m a teacher and we’ve never had any of those. The flu (or whatever is making your kiddos sick) must be REALLY bad. But I am right there with you… I LIVE on routine!

I don’t think anyone’s ever ready to go back to work! My confession for the week? I finished the whole box of Girl Scout cookies 🙂
This is a great glimpse into reality. Thank you for this! Just the other day, I went to open a bottle of wine with my electric bottle opener which broke. Then after digging into my over stuff junk drawer, i found a manual one. It too was broken. I ended up with particles of cork in my wine from getting a drill and trying get it out, lol. End story: no wine for me that night. Boo.
#2 made me LOL! Before I even read the end of that section I was like uh-oh it’s a sign haha! Don’t worry about it, it’s just broken stuff (or is it…just kidding!) Margarita Day?? Hello, Margaritas! (plural)
Confession time
Today is the first time I washed,folded and put away my laundry in weeks!!!
I like to blame the cheetah for sleeping on it and who want to disturb a sleeping cheetah???
I do not believe I will be participating in Margarita day, though I’m in Texas this month.
I am definitely a city girl, that tried the more country life for a bit, but moving to a big city again, and excited about it!
Secret? Hmmmm…I’ll have to think on that.

I was born and raised in the city, but my real self wants to pack up and leave the urban jungle! I would love to be able to live in a quiet countryside. Maybe when the kids are all done with college. I’m downsizing and moving to the country, or the suburbs. Love you posts. It just speaks so much of what is really going on in a person’s life.

Normally I drink wine, but since today is National Margarita Day, I’ll be drinking that instead! I had a four day weekend and it sure was hard to get back into the grove of things on Tuesday 🙁

Uh-oh it must be broken glass weekend, I broke 2 myself..major butterfingers. Bonus, time to buy new glasses
Fun story! Weekends rule, for those that dont work shifts 🙂 and wine, the corkscrews were just tired. Drink some bubbles! 🍾🎉 or open your bottle by banging the bottle of the bottle while it is sitting in a shoe. Just did this and it worked brilliantly! Have a pic on my instagram @lilamakelove
I live in Sacramento and when I first moved up here going downtown and driving in the city always made me nervous. The one way streets totally threw me off and it felt like driving in an obstacle course between the cars, peds and bicyclists. Now I’m used to it but I can imagine how easy and relaxing it is driving in the countryside.
Oh no!! Not the wine glasses! I think the cork issue was definitely a sign to switch to margaritas 😉

I’ve had way too many Girl Scout cookies this week! Not a huge secret but don’t want to stop and think about the calories.
I agree, there’s definitely something to be said for sticking to a routine! Love your snap from Atlanta.

Long weekends are not good for us bloggers. Too much relaxation can make us lazy the whole week. (talking from experience here.haha)
All the Best,

The more you get to go on vacation the lesser you want to go back to work. At least that’s how I feel, lol! I think it’s awesome that you got to rest for 5 days though.
Looks like that 5 day break was pretty relaxing! I wouldn’t want to go back to work either! I think it’s a sign that you have to lessen your wine intake, or maybe you just really need new wine glasses and corkscrews, lol.

I still haven’t visited Atlanta. I would love to visit one day soon… Hoping someone makes me a strawberry margarita for Margarita day.

You worked through TWO corkscrews YOU GO! That is awesome. And I am also quite sure I have lost all ability to function in a city LOL.

I love long weekends, I love the extra time with the kids. I’m a suburbs girl, neither city or country, I’m in between the two.

I completely know what it’s like to have a long weekend and then not be able to adult. It’s like we need to plan a vacation after the vacation just to get us ready to go back to real life lol. Good post!
I guess I’m a country folk but sometimes a city folk. Whenever i am end my vacation I feel like I don’t wanna go back to work too haha!
Anosa recently posted…Bucketlist in Review ~ Travel Edit 3
Haha! That was funny, you might slow down on your wine.;) I am definitely a city kind of person! 🙂
I think i could be a city folk and a country folk, and vice versa or do it both. I like it mixing both.
I love some wine, but I will let pass not participating the Margarita day. I love Margarita…

Don’t feel bad- I live in Atlanta and driving here is always a nightmare! LOL I’m at a point now where if I can’t walk, I try not to go.
Love these! I also had a 5 day weekend. Slept all through.
I 100% celebrated national margarita day! That first confession is so true. I swear no matter how many off days I have, I NEVER wanna come back to work.

I don’t drink but I can celebrate!! I am more of a country girl. I like the city but just to visit or for a trip, that’s it!
This is such a fun idea! Sorry about the wine glass but at least you were drinking wine 🙂
To answer your question I am both a city and a country girl. I’m pretty skilled at navigating around city streets. But driving in Atlanta is always scary. So trust me it’s not just you. LOL!
I love love love the city. My confession for the girl behind the blog is that I just got a new baby kitten!

I swear long weekends are the hardest to kick! The more days I have off, the more it takes to adjust back to real life!
Oh my goodness, I do number 3 often! I thought I was the only one, haha. I get lost too easily.

haha I lived in a really small town until I was 14, then I moved to suburban Kansas City. I don’t think I could ever live in a town that small again! Right outside the burbs maybe…but not super rural.

This is such a fun idea for a post. I spent lot of time living in Italy. Wine is always a good idea!!! Confessions… today ingot nothing done but hanging out with my girls. They wanted to “make dinner” which primarily consisted of Doritos and girl scout cookies but they did want a banana for balance.
I love this link up and also, I can relate as an educator to having days off! Hahaha, I think I get spoiled with them when we do have snow days, etc. Sorry about your wine bottle and corkscrew! That definitely has to suck :/
