Guess what day it is?

Guess.What.Day.It.IS? Yup, time for Hump Day Confessions with Kathy.

1. I'm super sad that Pretty Little Liars is having its summer finale next week.. c'mon man, I can't handle the suspense.


2. After my friend's wedding ceremony on Saturday, the wedding party had to go take pics all over the city. Well, the weather was super nice, but that doesn't mean I didn't sweat like crazy. Well since Brian was back at the hotel still until the reception, I asked him to bring me deodorant to the reception, which isn't weird, but I also asked him to bring me a spare pair of undies. I crumbled them up in a ball, tucked them inside the Spanx that I took off for the reception (ain't nobody got time for that), and hid them behind the ice bucket in the bridal suite of the reception venue. Nobody ever said I was classy!

3. Speaking of Spanx, I am never wearing that crap again. They are hot, uncomfortable, and make it impossible to use the bathroom. I really need to lose weight so I never have to use them again. As soon as the next month of madness is over Bri and I are rejoining the gym and it's serious business. I need to lose SO MUCH WEIGHT before our wedding, which is now less than 14 months away!!!


4. If the little stem is left on grapes or pieces of leaves are left on cut-up strawberries, I can't eat them. Idk, it just grosses me out.

5. I feel like I can't catch a break lately. I have another infection stemming from all the complications with my surgery/post op problems Got more antibiotics, yay. Oh and I'd like to thank the antibiotics for the awful side effects I've had for 3 weeks now. I left work early yesterday because I felt like death, and I can tell they're getting pissed but what can I do? Oh and I never decided what I want to do for my birthday on Saturday (not that I can do much anyways because I feel like shit) but now it doesn't really matter. A big eff you goes out to Brian's boss for forcing him to go to Texas all weekend, even though weeks ago Brian told him he couldn't go because Saturday is my birthday. And we can't celebrate next weekend either because he's going out of town again for 5 days. I feel like I've had a dark cloud over my head for the past 6 weeks and everything that can go wrong does. Will my world ever brighten up? Grrr

6. Okay and this really isn't a confession, but I just want to share my thoughts about the ALS Ice Bucket challenge. I don't get why people are hating on it. Anything that raises awareness and $$$ for a worthy cause is alright in my book. The ALS Association has received tons more donations compared to this same time period last year. I'd say that pouring ice on people's heads has certainly inspired giving among the masses, wouldn't you? I mean, I'm pretty sure that a greater than 1000% increase in charitable giving is a good thing. Whatever works, I say. And about it being "slacktivism?" How do you know that the people dumping water on their heads aren't donating too? I mean, have you asked them all? To assume that everyone who is dumping water on their heads isn't donating money is an incorrect and irresponsible blanket statement. Also, maybe some people can't afford to donate but still want to spread the message so people with means can donate. Oh and don't give me that crap about it being a waste of water. First of all, it's not that much water. Second, seriously guys, more water is probably wasted taking those long baths bloggers are always raving about, and no one's raising money taking a bath now are they? Nope. If you don't want to participate, then just don't! If you don't want to see the videos, then just don't watch them! If you want to donate to another charity, just do it! No one is stopping you, but making people feel bad about doing what they believe is for good is not nice. #endrant

  2. Spanx is my worst nightmare but I wear it to every wedding or big event because ... I need it haha. But that clean undies story had me dying of laughter. I would have been a ball of nerves wondering if anyone found it the whole time I was there. I woulda chucked it!

    As for the ALS thing. I love the vids, I love the cause. i just hope those dunking are actually donating. Like its a legitimate concern of mine.

  3. I didn't realize PLL was going to be over next week! They always end on the most suspenseful cliffhangers and I can't even deal.

  5. I nodded my head along to this whole post feeling pretty much every emotion you had going on. And because of that--I'm sorry things have been so rough :( Maybe we need to arrange a blogger wine twitter/google hangout party for your birthday! PJS, wine, and gossip! And as for the ALS thing..first of all--I had never HEARD of ALS before the challenge, so I'd say that the challenge did it's job #1. Secondly, around here almost everyone I know has donated in combination of doing the bucket challenge--meaning: say if they don't do the bucket challenge they had to donate $500. If they did do the bucket challenge they had to donate $50. See? I understand what people are saying, but it's based on a lot of assumptions. And also? People will get their panties in a bunch about pretty much anything. Santa Claus himself could be riding around on a reindeer passing out free ipads to everyone in the nation and people would find a reason to hate on that, too. (Sorry for the deleted comment--my new computer does autocorrect? WTF...and well, there were some unfortunate ones in there haha)

  6. People need to stop hating on the ice bucket challenge, it's done what it was suppose to do which was raise awareness and money. That's why it started and it was and still is a success!

  7. I REFUSE to wear Spanx ever again after my last recruitment, so I totally feel you.

    ALSO. I swear if they try to bring those damn ghosts/ghouls/demons WHATEVER from Ravenswood, I will be so done with PLL [okay, that's a sweeping declaration that I probably won't keep, but come ON.]

  8. I am so far behind on PLL, I like to catch up right before a new season starts haha.
    I dont really give a rats ass about the ice challenge, I'd rather donate than pour ice or water over myself, and if all the celebrities who are doing it are donating as well, good for them.

  9. Ahhh I wasn't aware that PLL was breaking after next week already. I JUST WANT ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We will never get answers.

    Spanx! Don't even get me started. Those things are dead to me. They are so uncomfortable and don't even really help much. Stupid spanx.

    I am sorry that you are having a rough time. I hate to hear that. I agree iwth what you said about the ice bucket challenge. I swear, people will complain about ANYTHING and everything! It drives me insane.

  12. I need to get a new pair of Spanx- thanks for the reminder! And whyyy PLL- don't leave us!!!

  13. i think what is pissing me off the post about the ALS challenge is the statement that everyone is saying, "you have 24 hours to do the challenge or you have to donate 100 dollars".

    well, so, i guess i never saw the start of this whole challenge thing, are the ice bucket dumpers supposed to donate to? i just dont like someone TELLING me i have to donate. if i want to donate, i will, it not, i don't. i wasn't nominated but i guess i'm one of the people who is getting pissed off at the whole thing.

  14. Oh, and on a NON-semi-bitchy note, how did you like PLL last nite! email me back, and if you could clarify the ALS thing, thatd be great too ;)

  15. I think the ALS challenge is fun, just not for me. But I don't mind when people do it! I think it's awesome.

    Spanx. No thanks! I'd rather have my gut than stuff it in Spanx.

  16. All of the suspense in PLL is driving me absolutely nuts. I just want to know so bad already ha ha.
    I think that any sort of awareness for any cause is great! Even if it is pouring ice water over your head :)

  17. Bahahahahahha... I'm dying over the undies in the Spanx!

  18. Completely, 100% with you over the bucket challenge! Thank you for putting it into words!

  19. I didn't know that PLL was ending next weeks! :( it's always such a bummer. And I did not know all that about the ice bucket challenge! That's really awesome that it's raised so much awareness and money! I was a little annoyed, but not as much now that I know that.
