MN--whenever my H buys rice, this is what he buys, even though I always use the bag of boil/simmer rice.
Mine is Probably flameful but,
I made an appointment I probably don't need today, to get out of doing a work Habitat for Humanity. I should feel bad about this, but truth be told, I am not because a) I didn't want to drive an hour and a half each way to get there on a Friday, b) none of our senior partners will be there, so it's not the teambuilding experience it is supposed to be and c) we have actually had people come into our office (not realizing we were "closed") and I have justified my being here.
I usually have a box of boil rice bags stocked up because I suck at cooking and if H isn't here to cook for me and I'm being super lazy, I'll eat it with just a little butter, salt, and pepper.
I've been known to do this for quite some time now.

I almost always use the boil in a bag rice, or the frozen steamable ones. I don't have time to make real rice.
I'm considering going to lunch now (It's 10:30 here). I'm hungry, and I'm tired of trying to do 3 people's jobs.
I'm totally annoyed that my VTI called in sick. I think he's faking, just to use his 2 sick days you can use after you're forced to take a personal. I saw his car at the grocery store yesterday when I was meeting a client there. I can't write him up though, because there is no way for me to prove it, since I only saw his car, and not him.
We must be bored if our "confessions" are about rice, hehe.
Lol, yep.
I'll also confess that since I'm getting paid 3/4 of what I deserve here, I'm only going to be here 3/4 of my 40 hours. I already come in at 10am, and yesterday I just walked out at 4:30. My bosses can kiss my ass. I wouldn't mind getting fired, but there is no way they can do that since I am the only one here. hahaha
If it weren't for my rice cooker/food steamer, my rice would be from those bags, too. Or Rice-A-Roni boxes, which we still buy when on sale.
I love my rice cooker! I use it for so much more than just rice! I steam spinach and pot stickers in it all the time. I've even made lentil soup in it!

I don't have a lunch today again so I'll be going out. I know I should probably get something healthy since I'll probably be eating like crap all weekend being out of town, but I really want a greasy burger and onion rings. Decisions, decisions.

I'm starting a few new environmentally-savvy practices in my life, and it's making me physically scared. It's like, if they don't fit into my lifestyle and I have to give up after I try them, I'm letting myself down and I'll feel really guilty.

I ate the PB&J that M made me for breakfast and I'm thisclose to ordering Chipotle online, even though it's a drive to get there and I'd have to walk into the building crutch-free.

Be kind to yourself...at least you're trying. My confession is that I'm hiding in the bedroom eating candy because DH is still downstairs and if I go down, I'll have to talk to him and I don't feel like conversation yet...I'm not a morning person.
There's a certain coirker that I'm really hoping does something big (in a bad way) in front of the right person/people. I can't take much more of her and it's getting harder to ignore her (she's on the other side of the cube wall from me). I hope her lies bite her in the ass.
The only thing keeping me sane is my iPod so I can drown her out.

I met myself halfway and went to Firehouse Subs. Turkey, swiss, and sauteed mushrooms on wheat, so not the best but not the worst. While I was waiting for my order and playing with my iPod, I remembered a better confession that will make me sound like I belong in Jr High.
I may have downloaded the dumbest game app ever but still play it here and there. It's called "Hide the Fart", where you are the man in the middle of people at a bus stop and you have to wait for vehicles to pass by to fart so they don't hear it (they shoot you the side eye if you let it out before a car passes). So ridiculously stupid but I can't bring myself to delete it off yet.

We're doing some web design stuff at work that is super time consuming and tedious. My CW offered to clean my house if I'd do her share of the work. As much as I want a housekeeper, I don't want a CW cleaning my house.

So I got measured at Victoria's Secret two days ago because none of my bras fit since I've lost weight, and they were having their semi-annual sale. I got a "Very Sexy" black and white lacy bra, and even though my girls are little, it makes them look damn good.
My confession is that I REALLY want a reason to get naked/show someone.

I wish there was a way to duct tape or chain hubby in the kitchen to clean it. I am sick of cleaning it especially when I did a big clean of it the day before.

Just leave it there and eat sandwiches on paper plates for dinner until he cleans it up himself.

I love my rice cooker! It's the best $25 I've ever spent. I make rice and steamed veggies a few times a week and the cooker does the work, plus keeps it warm for later.
This is more of a vent, but I hate photos of kids with food on their faces. It's not cute. It's disgusting and looks like the V word which I shall not say. I hide anyone on Facebook who posts that crap.

I can't stand seeing anyone with food on their face - even on TV. When we watch Man vs. Food I have to hide my face all the time because the way he eats is disgusting. ::gag::

Blech!
I've never seen that show before. The previews scare me off because of the nastiness he's willing to put in his mouth, lol.
