Confessions

1. Last night I didn't wash my face before I go to bed because I am The Lazy, and when I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, my first thought was not, "UGH. Must wash face immediately," but, "Excellent. I don't have to reapply eyeliner."

2. I bagged up our recycling over the weekend and set it in the middle of the kitchen floor, because if it's in the middle of the kitchen floor, we are TOTALLY going to move it, right? WRONG. We have been dancing around the four bags of cans, bottles, and cardboard that are sitting literally in the middle of our kitchen. They kind of even block a cabinet.

3. Ness peed in her crate in the middle of the night last week, and only YESTERDAY did we get around to washing her bed. We had the bed and the slipcover in plastic bags by our bedroom door, which basically means that our bedroom smelled like a urinal for a week. In his defense, Preston has had a cold and can't smell ANYTHING, but in my defense...yeah. I have no defense. Other than that I have no sense of hygiene? Based on the number of times I floss every month, I would say that YES, that could definitely be it. But really, cleaning Ness' pee-soaked bed was number 789,234,693 on the list of things I wanted to do when I got back from class. And Preston could have jumped in and done it at any time. Or, we could have, you know, communicated about when we were going to clean the bed.

4. I subscribe to Gwyneth Paltrow's newsletter, GOOP, and I am NOT ashamed to admit it (ok, I'm a little ashamed).

5. Last night was a new Make Me A Supermodel (which everyone should watch to see my best friend Margaret's friend Colin!), but I didn't get home until after 10, so I decided to watch the rerun at 11. So Preston and I are watching, and it looks like Colin is struggling and might get eliminated. And because I just couldn't stand not knowing if was going to be elimated for ONE MORE SECOND, without telling Preston, I went on Wikipedia in the middle of the show to see who was eliminated. And then continued to act like I had no idea what was going to happen for the rest of the show. As in, Preston and I actually had conversations about who we thought would get eliminated, and at no point did I say "Oh, RIGHT. I ALREADY KNOW. Because I cheated."

6. This morning I was going to wear my nice khakis, but then I put them on and realized that I really should iron them before I wear them. So then I took off the khakis, folded them and put them back into the closet, and put on jeans.

7. I have ironed three times in my adult life: once for an interview, once before a conference, and once because I wanted to iron the tablecloth. And I am not even a little bit kidding. If it has to be ironed, I just don't wear it. Or I do wear it, and look very wrinkled and mildly homeless. The latter probably happens more often.

8. Just to address the elephant in the room: YES I should be writing my paper instead of blogging/doing anything remotely fun.
