ten you challenge: ten secrets

I love bloggy bandwagons. I mean sure there are some lame ones floating around, but I can't resist a good one, and since I have said I have been lacking in blogging inspiration lately, I've decided a bandwagon was necessary at this point. I discovered this one on a fellow Canadian's hope-squared. Be sure to check her out. I emailed her trying to track back where this challenge started with no luck... so if you know, please share!

So let's start shall we? 

{one}

I have full on conversations with Vada. It doesn't exactly help that I live alone and how much this makes me a crazy cat lady. I guess this isn't really a secret. 

{two}

I am terrible with money. Terr.i.ble. This is something I don't even feel comfortable talking about it but also something I really need to work on. I always used to blame it on the fact that I worked hourly and couldn't budget properly with varying pay checks. I'm now on salary and it's time to be on a crackdown budget. There is no excuse for not having a decent savings account at this point. 

{three}

I am a huge victim of retail therapy and impulse shopping (hence number two). I just love shopping. The more I age though, the more I become like my mother and have a hard time spending money. The worst is online shopping because you just don't feel the guilt. Actually just credit cards in general (it's annoying that I need one for work). I need to stay away from lululemon.

I have felt myself slipping on the food department lately. I am not exactly happy about this and would like to think I'll just snap back into it tomorrow. Let's hope this is true because I really hate progressing backwards. 

{five}

As much as I love being single I get really nervous and stressed when I think about wanting to have kids before I'm 30. I'd like to be in a relationship for awhile before getting engaged, have a longish engagement and then be married for a bit before I have kids. Did I mention I want two kids before I am 30? Realistically this just isn't happening. It makes me really sad... I always wanted kids at a young age (my parents had two kids by 26 and 27).

 I've been listening to guided meditations before bed every night for the past month. I really like how easily they help me fall asleep. You're supposed to listen to them for 4-6 weeks before you start to notice changes. I switched the one I was listening to last week, so stay tuned, hopefully I'll have a good update for you all in 4-6 weeks.

 It really bothers me when skinny bitches (sorry) call themselves fat. I'm sorry but if you've never had the Wii or anyone tell you you're obese I think you need to be quiet around us chubsters. I'd imagine everyone bigger than anyone always feels this way when someone smaller complains. But I'm sorry if you  have abs and are wearing something smaller than a size 6 you just need to keep your trap shut. 

{eight}

I'm the biggest procrastinator of all time. I guess this part isn't much of a secret, but I very often up late doing work, making scheduled emails for 8:00am to be in the bosses inbox for the morning. Lately I've learned that a lot of the people I work with are very much the same as me when it comes to working late!

{nine}
I feel like I don't have any friends in Ottawa. One of my best friend's lives here...but my cousin just moved home. It's really hard because since I work alone when I'm here I get lonely a lot. I can't join a ton of sports teams because I won't be able to go a lot with travel. I'm really kicking myself for being that girl that was consumed by my last relationship. I didn't make a lot of sustainable friends in university (they all already had their crowds). I think they need to make a dating site for friends... it'd be good for people just moving to a city, and people that are losers like me and wake up and one day none of their friends are left in their city.

I'll give you one gross one: I often sleep in my makeup I know this has got to change or I'll be a wrinkly old lady.

I will be taking my time with this one...definitely not a 10 day in a row type challenge for me.
