So it’s Wednesday and since I had no clue what I wanted to post about today, besides maybe my new Blog Layout (AKA Confession # 1: I actually just accidentally deleted my Theme on WordPress last Friday and have NO damn clue how to put it back together. . . .so new Layout it is!), I figured I should finally jump on board the “Humpday Confessionals” band wagon with Kathy over at Vodka & Soda! I meant to take part last week but work got in the way #TheNerve.
With that being said. . . . lets re#hash my week and all those embarrassing moments it may or may not have included.
Confession #2: On Sunday . . . I went to Michael’s Craft Store, then to Joann Fabrics and then back to Michael’s Craft Store (again) all in a 1.5 hour span over saving merely $1.10 on a paint marker. #FuckingCoupons. This isn’t the first time it’s happened and if Hobby Lobby had been open (and had a 40% off coupon as well), I probably would have stopped there too. I have an obsession with craft store coupons. I plot out my every adventure when attempting these endeavors making sure to always stop, shop and re-stop where the coupons will offer the biggest benefit. I am NOT however a “Crazy Coupon Lady” better known as someone probably aspiring to also be a “Crazy Cat Lady” but just lacks enough cats to fill the quota. I do however enjoy saving 40% off on over-priced art materials that I typically need for Etsy orders and when these stores mark everything down as it is, it’s a complicated mission to say the least. I would like to be clear when I say that I don’t clip coupons from the grocery store. I will not buy 4 tubes of toothpaste just to save myself $.40. That’s what Costco is for. #Noobs.
I also wish my Husband’s Grandparents would FUCKING STOP politely abandon clipping coupon from Krogers, Meijers, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, and every other local food chain in the area for me. (They clip each one out individually, deliver them to our house weekly – Literally EVERY Coupon). I will NEVER use them. . . I feel bad throwing their hard work away. #ButIDoItAnyways. I will however confess to enjoying some Kohl’s Cash here and there and often dabble in “edible mailers” (McDonalds Coupons, Pizza Coupons, Biggby Coffee Coupons delivered to my doorstep- I made up the term “Edible Mailers”. #FeelFreeToUseIt). OH and lets not forget the Bed Bath and Beyond Coupons- The Only Coupon Worth Collecting. I will turn a car around bitches!
While my husband found 15,678 reasons to text me “Where Are You” while I was on this crafting crusade, I didn’t feel the internal desire to text him back a fake excuse, nor did I feel he deserved my actual excuse as it could be deemed [crazy] by any normal man.
- Did I feel bad I was gone for 2 hours? Nope.
- Did I waste more than $1.10 in gas obtaining this sale price?
Absolutely. Maybe? - Did I add additional (and unnecessary) miles on to my soon to be over, leased Jeep? Shit Yes.
Fucks Given: 0.
Confession #3: I may or may not have totally over-quoted an Etsy inquiry in opposition to another shop’s listing in hopes to avoid the customer’s excessive order in question. . . . only to wake up and realize the customer thought my quote was a “steal” and processed the order anyhow. #FML Now I have to make 400 individually personalized (and stamped) vintage luggage tags for some crazy amount of honey jars at some bitches wedding. I seriously did NOT want to take on this order right now. #Lazy. I thought by over-bidding another shop by $40( who also has the exact tags she’s looking for) that she may realize this and tell me to “F Off” – Clearly she’s not a bargain shopper like myself and in turn, I got the order anyhow. This lady is also a self proclaimed “wedding planner” – Aren’t they supposed to price shop for you?? Great Odin’s Raven am I happy I didn’t hire someone to over-spend for me while simultaneously charging me to do so. #IdiotBrides While I’m never one to turn down an order (I seriously LOVE My Etsy Shop) I do, however, have a thing against certain items I list in my own shop as they are more difficult to make then others. . . . I would take them down but they seem to be the items that everybody wants. #OfCourse.
Confession #4: It’s been 8 days and I still can’t figure out how in the hell to add “Pin It” buttons to my photos on my blog. This is the hardest confession to give as I work in Social Media and should be able to figure this shit out. . . . I can only find like 100 blogs that post “How To’s”. Anyhow, can someone out there PLEASE help me?! #Thanks.
So there is that. Glad to get all of that off my chest (got enough on here already #HumbleBrag #DontCare) . . . now on with the rest of the week! – What are some of your confessions? Make sure you stop on over at Vodka&Soda to Link Up with Kathy and share some of your own!
Oh and make sure you stop by to check out my “bedroom makeover” tomorrow, while I confess (#5) I didn’t really remember to take pictures BEFORE we started remodeling, it’s still something I’m rather proud of, so results are all you’ll be getting! Happy Hump Day!
Cheers!

I actually hate those damn pin it buttons… they get in the way of the pictures, it’s annoying!!!! People can still pin without them. But a lot of the cool kids have them so what the fuck do I know?! hahaha
