These are my confessions

Let's get right to the thick of things.

1. Just about my favorite part of the whole movie theater experience are the previews. I get more and more excited as each new one plays. It's weird.

2. I thought Taylor Swift was singing about "Starbucks lovers" rather than a "long list of ex-lovers."

3. I think I'm lactose intolerant and I'm going to deny it hardcore. That smoothie I mentioned? Two hours later my stomach felt like a geyser ready to burst. Now that I think of it, that sounds gross. But it wasn't like that! I promise. It was just all this gargling. Today, I had cereal for breakfast and two hours later the same thing happened. Seriously though, I can't be. I will live with the terrible uncomfortableness for hours in order to eat and drink dairy. Let's see if I can go three for three tomorrow!

4. You know how some people are really great with movie quotes? I'm really great with Disney quotes. Like I can repeat the whole Lion King movie verbatim. I'll often say quotes from the movie under my breath in conversations. It may come off as crazy but eh, my friends love me.

5. Growing up, I taught myself how to use the Microsoft Office Suite. I spent hours just dicking around on it. It came in super handy at college and I'm like the Excel guru at the office. That's pretty cool, but I think about all the time I wasted invested. It feels kinda cool though when everyone comes to you with questions. It just sucks when you have eleven million things to do.

I feel like I was a little too "I'm wicked awesome!" in that last one. So tell me. What do you rock at? Anything you wanna confess to?

Top Five Tuesday - Funny Stuff

Sometimes, you just need a minute to laugh. When it's one of those days, or weeks, you want to smile and laugh a little out loud. Here's a list of the top five things that've made me laugh recently.

1. This picture. I literally laughed out loud for like a minute.


2. I write Ryan lunch box love notes most day and last week I gave him a few math jokes. Like this one: "You know what seems odd to me? Numbers that aren't divisible by two."

3. Pretty much anytime Disney can be brought up in a conversation. I especially love browsing the interwebs and finding gems like this:


4. Getting lyrics wrong and having absolutely NO IDEA until years later. Then when you're purusing the top 100 songs from the 90s you realize it's "How Bizarre" not "How Was I" by OMC. Not kidding, I found that out last week.

5. This Kevin Hart skit gets me every time. I wonder if Ryan can relate, since he's only an inch taller. 


What's made you laugh lately?

My Disney Fascination

Growing up, I saw pretty much every Disney movie there was to see. I love 'em. They're awesome. The music, amazing. I'm obsessed. Slightly. When I see things on Pinterest that relate to Disney, they immediately make me smile. 

On Thanksgiving, when  my mom brought over a game that had us match "thank you" to its corresponding language. What was one I got? "Asante sana" which is Swahili. Why? How? You might ask? ASANTE SANA SQUASHED BANANA. BAM. The Lion King. To. The. Rescue. Thank you Rafiki. Or should I say, asante sana. 

As I sit here, I've listened to the following songs:

"I'll Make a Man Out of You" - Mulan
"Be Prepared" - The Lion King
"I'll Make a Man Out of You" - Mulan
"Reflection" - Mulan
"Tale as Old as Time" - Beauty and the Beast
"A Whole New World" - Aladdin
"Once Upon a December" - Anastasia
"He Mele No Lilo" - Lilo & Stitch
"When Will My Life Begin" - Tangled
"I See the Light" - Tangled
"I Won't Say I'm in Love" - Hercules
"Colors of the Wind" - Pocahontas
"Part of Your World" - The Little Mermaid

And I'm browsing Pinterest reading things like this:




But now, I must go and stop listening to Disney music because I'm almost positive my husband's going to kill me.

What brings you back to your childhood? Is there anything that makes you smile when you see or hear someone mention it?
