*insert segway babble here....blah blah blah, SEGWAY! Bam.*
This past week my little blog has seen an increase in traffic and followers. I am so honored that you want to read about my crazy life. I thought maybe I would confess some things to you all, so we can all get to know each other better. You know....get really personal....make it embarrassing... laugh, cry and sob together? Anyone? No??? Bueller? Buelller? Ahem,
1. I confess: Right before I step into the shower I suck in my stomach and squish all my little areas of fat. I flex my arm muscles and generally check everything out to make sure I don't have fat creeping up anywhere. That might be vain. Or crazy. Or just plain weird. I am thinking it is all three.
2. I confess: I know every Justin Beiber song my heart, and would for sure attend one of his concerts alongside all the 12 year old girls in a heartbeat. What can I say? I have Beiber Fever... a BeLIEBER if you will.
3. I confess: Sometimes at night my husband starts to faintly snore and I smack him, or shove him so he will quit. He never knows what has woken him up, and I always act oblivious, even though it was me. guess now he knows... sorry honey!
4. I confess: I have a really hard time with prayer. Sometimes my thoughts go so fast that I am jumping from one thing to another, or I annoy myself with ASKING for so many things for myself. Other times I fall asleep. I wish I could slow down and really learn what prayer should look like.
5. I confess: I am jealous of other bloggers who have a gazillion followers and seem to be witty and funny in every. single. post. And look amazing in all of their pictures. I mean come on, seriously?
6. I confess: Every time I get into an elevator I start imagining several escape scenarios in case a serial killer or ninja enters with me. You can never be to prepared you guys.
7. I confess: I still hold my breath and do the alphabet in my head when driving through tunnels. That is just sad, I know. But I can't help it. It is like I am brainwashed and HAVE to do it.
Are we still friends? Or do you hate me now?
I love puppy stuff! And the frames are totally artistic. If you can do a labradoodle mug, I'm totally buying one for my hubs!
ReplyDelete#3 completely cracks me up because my hubby REALLY snores A LOT and I shove him and hit him, but he knows it's me. And sadly, it doesn't help.
ReplyDeleteLove the mugs, the line looks artistic for sure. Can't wait to see more collars and such! You have almost 500 followers and always look great too! :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I have to confess that this post made me change my Pandora station to Justin Bieber ; )
ReplyDeleteI too am jealous of those witty, adorable, thousand + follower having bloggers... but I think you are pretty darn awesome!
Definitely an artistic choice : )
Um girl, to me YOU are one of those bloggers with a gazillion followers and commenters. (: I also have to say that your mugs look great... I like the line you painted because it looks handmade and not computer printed. I can't wait to see your stuff when you open up your etsy shop. Yay!
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm very excited about your etsy shop. Sounds adorable!! And a quick little story for ya...when I was pregnant I was not able to sleep well (duh) and one night my husband started snoring. I nudged him & nudged him, but he kept snoring. Keep in mind it was pretty darn quiet, but I was already wide awake so any amount of noise was irritating. After several nudges I started crying & the very next snore I heard caused me to punch him. He stopped, rolled over & fell right back asleep. I felt so bad I told him about it the next day & to this day he gives me a hard time about being abusive while he sleeps. HA ha! He thinks its the funniest thing ever. Boys & their snoring!
ReplyDeleteHahaha your confessions just made me laugh out loud!! I totally do the same thing before I get in the shower - and if I'm taking a bath and laying there - it's even worse. I can't relax cause all I do is pinch the fat wherever I feel it when I'm sitting!
ReplyDeleteAlso - I am totally there with the blogger thing - I'm super jealous too! I like to think that if I didn't have a full time job, I would totally dedicate my time to the blog, and would have at least 3000 followers by now - wishful thinking!
Xoxo :)
I love the mugs the way they are! Can't wait to see your shop! So I totally do that before I get the shower haha! My husband snores too, I do the samething . . . oops ;) I confess I have a hard time with prayer sometimes too! I feel bad!
ReplyDeletenope, the mugs look fantastic with the "messy line" or whatever. it's a GOOD messy line. haha
ReplyDeletewe deal with our men snoring the exact same way. i say, "sean!" really loudly and then push his head the opposite direction with my hand or hit/push, like i you said, his side until he wakes or moves which always stops him.
he, on the other hand, whispers, "...kandice" and then i wake up and ask, "yeah?" and he goes.... -pause- "...nothing, nevermind"
#3-the snoring gets worse the longer you are married. I do the pull the pillow out real quick and fake asleep when he realizes he was woken up. still works:)My husband also talks in his sleep and I like to mess with him and alter his dreams by talking back and telling him to watch out for the alligators. He still doesn't know why he's always dreaming of alligators. It's the little things:)
ReplyDelete#4- Have you read The Help?? Aibeleen in The Help writes all her prayers down. I get distracted if i start praying for someone but I find if I write it down, it seems more official. I can also look back and see what and who I was praying for:)
#6- Every room I enter there is an escape plan in place within seconds. I have food and water stashed in a random room at work that I could prob live in for a couple days should the need arise...
#7- Guilty of holding breath, while putting car in neutral and revving engine for my boy who gets a giggle out of it. One day I may pass out, eek!
besos!
Aw Ashley dont be jels! I love your blog!!! Haha but im NOT a belieber, sorry. And as for the frame thing on the boxer image, it looks artistic..truth be told :)
ReplyDeleteWhy is justin bieber a confession? ;) never say neverrrr
ReplyDeleteahh i complete agree with you about being jealous about other bloggers who always looks so damn perfect in every pictures! grrrr. Oh and i still hold my breath too when i'm going through tunnels :)
ReplyDeleteI'm your 500th follower! Yay!!! From one newlywed to another. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha this post is absolutely hilarious! Lots of love for you xxx
ReplyDeletethis ninja thing is hysterical!
ReplyDeletei have the same problem with praying!
ReplyDeleteAnd can you do customized coffee mugs??
I think the mug is definitely artistic, love it!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud about your husband snoring, lol...too funny.
Prayer is hard for a lot of people. But I don't think it matters how "well" you do prayer, because I am also envious of people who can pray amazingly well. I think all that matters is that you get your prayers to the Lord in one way or another--He knows what's in your heart anyway so as long as you take time to talk with Him that's all that matters :)
I am also jealous of other bloggers...would you be mad/happy/embarrassed/impressed that I'm jealous of you?! Your blog posts are always funny and cute and I love reading them!!
The mugs look great! What kind of paint do you use? It looks like something you'd find in a store (ok, I guess that's exactly what it is, but whatever...)!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more :)
I can't wait to see your etsy shop. It sounds like it is going to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteYeah we are still friends... probably even better friends now because 90% of the things on your list I still do too. Man, we are awesome.

Hahaha i love thins! I pretty much do all of the same things. I'm super jealous of those blogers with amillion followers too. How do they do it?!?! You're practically one of them now!!
ReplyDeleteI think the line looks fine as it is...it would look to perfect if you had it straight and wouldn't go with the abstract picture!
I entered your giveaway and I really hope I win! Best giveaway ever!

ReplyDeleteLove the leash! also, I totally relate to confession #3, except mine usually is in the form of a kick or bouncing the bed haha.
ReplyDeleteAwww those mugs are SO adorable!! :) haha, and i thought I was the only one who still did #7 and #6 yup I'm there with you. too funny!!
ReplyDeleteLove those mugs!! And that leash is adorable. I wish I had a dog so I could buy lots of cute stuff and play dress up with her all the time...
ReplyDeleteAnd umm hello? You look gorgeous in all of your pictures! So shut it! :)
literally LOLd at the smacking your husband part. I may or may not do the same thing. Hey-that's what wives are for!
ReplyDeletePS-I think Julie @ Girl in the Red Shoes was one of the first blogs I started following and I just love her! She's such a sweetheart and does so many cute DIY projects. Oh-and I gawk over her gorgeous red locks!! Who wouldn't!?

ReplyDeleteAnd you my dear are one of the blogs we're all envious of!!!
I don't know if this will help give you some perspective, but in my mind YOU ARE one of those blogs with a kajillion followers whose hilarious and has lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou're so honest, thanks for your confessions.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing to my hubby, except I wake him up. I'm like, "Babe." He goes, "What?" I'm like, "You're snoring." Lately, he has gotten better about it though lol. Just like other people have said, I see you as of those bloggers with funny posts and lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis cracked me up! Great confessions! (BTW, you totally ARE that super cute blogger with a zillion followers that is always witty and funny and always looks good!)...and you should be so proud of that!

I LOVE your products and can't wait to see more!!! Great work! Loved reading your confessions too...on the prayer thing I keep a prayer journal by my bed at night which keeps my thoughts more organized. It is hard not to right down every little thing, but it's a start. Going to check out some of your new blog finds!
ReplyDeleteHi! I've been following your blog for a while now but just recently started blogging myself! Literally a few days ago I started again! Just wanted to say that I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy reading yours! Have a great Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley! Thank you for the comment on my blog. YES, I am Canadian! And thank you for being so excited about that! haha...it made me giggle. I live out West so not near Toronto.
