Confessions, Part II.

i also think about usher vs. J.T. dance-offs.

Because it’s never NOT a good time for a stream-of-consciousness (with pictures to match) post–or free-wheeling with a double negative--I bring you another batch of hot-from-the-oven-that-is-my-brain confessions.

—————————–

1. I lied just now when I said stream-of-consciousness. I actually have a Color Note on my phone where I keep track of things I feel like I should confess as they come to me.

2. From phone to Instagram. Every time I check IG, I also check my photo array. I become overly concerned if it is too brown, too boring, or lacking in diversity. [I swear, I eat more than just oatmeal. Not much more. But more. ]3. Sometimes I think I buy and eat celery solely for the moment I reach the crispy, even-more-bland-than-celery-already-is heart.

It is my favorite part.

4. I tweeted that this cold kabocha was going to be part of dinner. It wasn’t. It was part of that post-dinner, still munchy fifteen minutes after you’ve washed your dinner bowl.5. Yes, dinner bowl. I rarely use plates.

6. The rest of that kabocha was eaten as an after midnight snack, with Mango Peach + Olive Salsa and dijon mustard.7. Because I don’t care what nutritionists say, I eat at all hours of the day (and night).

8. I intended to drink the last serving of my Good Belly Coconut Water in a wine glass to class things up, entirely for social media show. Instead I relished in the opportunity to drink straight from the carton.

9. Usually, I don’t actually eat my ‘proats’ as you see them in blog and Instagram photos. Obviously, by the time I’ve taken the (excessive amount of) pictures, they are cold. Also, I like to take it in my travel bowl [slash] mug and eat them at my desk in those last quiet moments before school starts.

So I take something that looks fairly presentable, like this……and reheat it at school, where it ends up looking a lot more like this.

10. When I was in middle or high school, someone told me I looked like Claire Danes. This was in the My So-Called Lifeperiod, so I can’t say that I was anything but indifferent about it. But, um, if I look anything like her now, call me pleased as (pretty) punch.

and i will happily take a side of hugh dancy any time.

11. I really wanted to eat some Peanut Butter Toast Crunch one morning. However, I had a fabulous blueberry apple theme (including Bob’s Red Mill apple blueberry granola) going on with my proats, so I ate it separately. [But not after first putting it on top of my proats...and then removing it.]12. Months ago, my book club read Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? The hold list for it at the library was too long, so I bought it, read the whole thing with the book open at a 40 degree angle so as not to crack the spine, and then returned it.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, I used a giftcard.
