Grumpy Confessions

Since Kathy hasn't killed her humpday confession linkup, I felt it was my duty to join in. Sorry this isn't very upbeat. Blah.

I confess.. I've been really, really grumpy lately. Maybe it's because my apartment is freezing and outside is miserable. Maybe it's because I don't like coming home to finding sawdust everywhere. Maybe it's because I hate that I have to save up to go somewhere warm and I can't just take off whenever I want. Whatever it is, I've been in a bad mood.


I confess.. I've been questioning a lot of things in my life: people, career decisions, what direction I want my savings to go in.

I confess.. Seeing people complain about 2cm of snow really bothers me. When you have over 30cm of snowfall sitting in your driveway, come talk to me.


I confess.. I was really disappointed that it was an old episode of New Girl on last night.

I might be in love with Nick

I confess.. I kind of just want to go home (from work) and play video games. Because I'm a nerd and I'm okay with that.

I confess.. I've been going to the gym at night instead of in the morning or at lunch. I think I like that best just because I don't have to rush through my workout. I also get to take a quiet subway ride home. It kind of kills the rest of my night though.

I confess.. I need to go somewhere during the February long weekend. Even if it just means getting on a bus and going somewhere alone. The travel itch is getting me. Considering I just came back from Buffalo during NYE, I might be a little obsessed with traveling.

I confess.. I know I'm posting this pretty late in the day. I got busy with work. Sorry.

  1. Awww Alex, I'm totally with you! I've been feeling a little down this week too. If you do decide to travel...New York is a wonderful place and someone by the name of Elizabeth has this great apartment with a couch you can sleep on and eat ice cream and watch movies and have a really fun time with. Just saying. Love you!

  3. I was scrolling through my DVR the other day and I think there's a new episode of New Girl on Sunday? Like before or after the Super Bowl maybe?? I don't know. I read something about New Girl and the Superbowl. I'm a ton of help, I know......

  7. I love hearing peoples confessions! And I totally agree with Kathy...I kinda think it's the weather. You wouldn't believe how many times I've looked at Todd over the last month and said, "can we move?".

  9. I'm constantly looking for another adventure so I know what you mean about just wanting to get away. I think it's normal to feel a little blah around this time what with the weather and all! And I love love love Nick from New Girl.

  11. The weather is getting me down too. I was pretending it was mostly done for the season. hahaha. I had a good case of denial. Then it snowed again today. I had heard about snow in some places that don't normally get it and didn't think too much of it until this morning I was a post about it being 2 inches of mayhem. Pardon? Two inches? That's like not even a dusting. And being from Vancouver it's not like we get crazy Canadian winters like I am sure you deal with.

  14. Confessions 2.3 and 4. AGREED. Confession 5. I do work from home but video games frustrate the hell out of me. Instead I spend most of my day on facebook chat, trying to get work done while also avoiding gorging my face off in the kitchen.

    Looking forward to meeting ya! Though be prepared that I will try to convince you to quit your job to "freelance" aka my glorified term for funemployment.

  15. Oh crap. I haven't seen New Girl yet. I can sense the disappointment blooming within me. Hopefully you'll hear some news soon that can help with life/career decisions soon. Much love! x

  17. I've been really grumpy lately, too....and going to sleep SUPER early because I'm just so exhausted. Ugh, I need to get out of this funk!

  18. A cold, covered in sawdust home would piss me off too.. especially if you have to go and workout right after work.. ugh. I like the Olympics and all but I'm pissed that it's messing with all of our shows!! Nick from New Girl.. who knew he was such a romantic? Actually, Rob DID save the Keno card that I wrote down my phone number on when we first met. (Yeah, Keno... I'm classy like that. Oh wait, I think Keno is a B.C. thing.. am I right!?) and.. he also saved the theater ticket from our first date. I did not keep these things. What a sweet guy.

  20. Love that grumpy cat image! I got a grumpy cat coffee mug for Christmas from one of the attorneys at my office that says "Good Morning? No such thing."

    It's been raining like crazy here where I live (we don't have snow in Guam so I can only imagine how much harder it must be for you) so I've been a bit of a grump too.

  22. Winter makes me a little grumpy, too. Mainly when I'm at the point where I feel like I will never be warm again, and there are snowbanks as high as my shoulder in our yard from drifting snow...
