Sunday Confessions #2

Happy Sunday!
I'm linking up with Alyx at Every Day is a New Adventure for Sunday Confessions.

Thanks for the super fun link-up, Alyx!

For today's edition of Sunday Confessions, I found a post on Jessie’s blog (Jessie Loves To Run) and thought it would be a great way to share some exciting, or perhaps mundane aspects of my life. To be honest, Jessie got the idea from Alex’s blog (The Run Within), who got the idea from another blogger named Tazmin. That’s getting confusing but I’m sure you get the idea. This post idea is definitely making the rounds.

So here goes…

Alphabet Survey

A is for Age: I like to say 29 (forever). Truth is I'm 33 years old young. I've named this year "My Jesus Year".

B is for Breakfast today:  Hazelnut Raisin manna bread topped with Almond Butter.

C is for Currently Craving: Nothing at this EXACT moment. Recent cravings include: Potatoes. Spaghetti Squash. Soup. Chips. Rice. Sushi. Americano's. Chocolate. Raspberry Linzer Squares. Nothing Pumpkin :P I am not easily led into temptations (except for chocolate).

K is for Kids: One incredibly sweet, intelligent, loving little boy.

L is for current Location: Ottawa, Ontario. Canada

M is for the most recent way you spent Money: Purchased one of the last two tickets to an upcoming yoga event with a live DJ.

Sunday Confessions

Sunday Confessions is something that a girl named Alyx started on her blog, Every Day is a New Adventure.  Thanks so much for the link-up Alyx. I really hope my grammar passes the test :P



This has nothing to do with Usher

Now it's time for me to get a few things off my chest...

Confession #1: While my 7 year old {aka "The Taste Tester} was away this weekend, I basically did ab-so-freakin-lutely NOTHING! I didn't do any yoga, or to the gym. I didn't do any grocery shopping or go to the mall to "browse". Heck, I didn't even do the dishes! NOPE! Not this girl! Instead, I went to bed realllly late and slept in reallllllly late. I read blog after blog online, FINALLY watched The Hunger Games (and loooooved it), and vegged out with my feet up!

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Confession #2: My health has not been my best friend this year. For this reason, I follow a healthy eating plan that I like to call the "Hell No" eating plan.  I have to say hell no to dairy, soy, gluten, meat, peanuts, corn, and processed foods like oils, salt, sugars, and flours.

Yet, sometimes I have the worst cravings for Starbucks (Americano's, Caramel Frappuccino's, Caramel Apple Spice, Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuciono's), and feta cheese. WHAT?!

Confession #3: I am the eldest daughter in a family of 10. I have one older brother, one younger brother, and five younger sisters.

Sadly, I can't recall the last time we were altogether :( Yet, I have a strong feeling that we will be together again soon. This is what my heart is telling me and I'm a girl who likes to listen to her heart!

Confession #4: I love any movie that stars Woody Harrelson, Ryan Gosling, or Chris Hemsworth (ever since I saw him play Thor).

I've watched Crazy, Stupid, Love about 40 times. Have you seen this movie? I was literally swept off my feet when I watched Ryan Gosling's "big move" with the Dirty Dancing jump.  If you haven't seen this movie, GO! Watch it now!

I've loved Woody ever since Cheers...and I've never stopped loving him! It's not the sort-of-love-crush sort of love, just simply a love for him, as a person and as an actor. Everytime I see him in a new movie, I love him even more. Woody turned 51 this year! I don't like older men. In fact, older men kind of creep me out. Just saying.

Confession #5: When I hear a song that has my name in it (Maria), I immediately fall in love with it. Whether it's Maria by Blondie, Maria by Ricky Martin, My Maria by Brooks & Dunn, Maria by Justin Bieber, Maria Maria by Santana, or even Ave Maria by Franz Schubert, I love them all!

Those are my confessions. 

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you have a fabulous week!

Tell me something that you'd like to confess.
