Pretending To Be Perfect (Subtitle: Whoops!)

Friday, February 1

thankfully my kitchen doesn't look like this anymore!
Let's get real.

Sometimes it can be fun pretending to be perfect. But the truth is, I'm not.

I've learned a lot of things these past two weeks, and had a lot of "whoops" moments.

Thought I'd share my top five with ya whoops moments of the week with ya!

1. "I'll have dinner ready by 5" doesn't mean start at 4:55. Whoops.

2. I should really buy some stock in a paper towel company. Bought a roll of paper towels Friday and it was gone by Monday. Whoops.

3. Creative DIYs are not my thing. I tried to be thrifty and do handmade curtains, but ended up in a crying mess over it. Whoops.

4. A "clove" of garlic is one little piece inside the thing of garlic you buy at the grocery store. When a recipe calls for nine cloves of garlic, it doesn't mean you buy nine huge things. Whoops.

5. To the sketchy guy who pounded on my door at 6:30 PM when my husband's not home. Sorry, not going to answer. Oh wait, you were delivering a package for me and now I have to walk to the leasing office to get it? Whoops.

What were some of your "whoops" moments this week?

I did not know that about cloves of garlic either! And I have also done number 5 a few times :/ have a good weekend!

Nadine Mathews said...

I have a problem having dinner ready on time when I tell someone a time. It happens to the best of us my dear :)

C said...

Ahah! Mistakes that we all make girl! I still haven't entirely fixed the dinner-timing issue yet :( WHOOPS times 100!

PS don't cry over curtains! :(

Haha this is hilarious :) I tried to cook a perfect dinner for us.. Fail. Burnt the beans and had to throw them away. Burnt the chicken and you couldn't barely taste the BBQ sauce on it because of the burnt black invasion :) whoops.

Ashlee @ Laugh with Ash said...

haha I totally didn't know the difference between a clove and head of garlic either! I was cooking with whole heads for at least a year before my HUSBAND of all people told me.. how he didn't notice the extra garlicy food for a year.. I don't know.

Kindra said...

I can totally relate to the cloves of garlic thing. Just about did that one day until my fiance told me what a clove was. haha

Gwen said...

You just bought too much garlic, right? You didn't USE all nine?

I'm so not good at DIY. I'd never even try to do the curtains. I'm sure my mom thinks she's failed me. LOL

Kelly Rothermel said...

haha!! :) I've done both the garlic thing and the sketchy man at the door turned delivery man. My biggest whoops was probably the time I was sure my odd neighbors (who are no longer my neighbors) were staring at me through their window. I stood peeking through the slats of the blinds for like 10 min. wondering who in the world does that. When I woke up the next morning and looked out the window, I saw they had placed 2 dolls (like Raggady Ann and Andy) right on the window ledge... can you say paranoid? ;)

This all made me giggle! We all have those whoops! Moments and its better to just laugh at yourself!

Logan Cantrell said...

haha I'm the same way, I never answer the door when Ryan isn't home.

Melissa said...

hahaha, I liked reading this post because they all sounded like things I would do too or have done! I totally looked up what a "clove" meant one day!

Sybil@PeaceitallTogether said...

Thanks for sharing your whoops moments! Sometimes I think I'm the only one that has them. Mine lately have been related to sending an email to the wrong person...very wrong. I rarely sew anymore because it seems like such a good idea at first, and then quickly turns into a train wreck!

Heather @ From Here to There said...

I go through papertowels like crazy! Too funny about the garlic! We all have to have our "whoops" moments and I imagine once you get married, they triple in size as you get accustomed!

Tanika Rice said...

Whoops #1: Thinking my daughter would be okay without a diaper for 2 seconds so I could get her in the tub. HA. Nope. Peed on the carpet.

and I have done a lot on your list. FUNNY. :)

Anna TTIL said...

That's too funny! I've accepted the fact that I'm not really a DIYer for most things. We have quite a few kitchen misadventures around our house.

That's What She Read said...

FAVORITE POST ALERT! I read my book while blow drying my hair and forgot to move the blow dryer and my hair started smoking. WHOOPS! :)

Jackie said...

I wouldn't have answered the door either...delivery or not!

My whoops of the week: Telling myself on Monday that I would have unpacked the rest of my stuff by Friday. Well, it's Friday and you know what hasn't been unpacked? Anything that was still packed up on Monday. eek.

Lynette Marie said...

Ahahahahahah SO FUNNY. I'm terrible with dinner. "You just wanted a grilled cheese for dinner, right? For the third night in a row, right?"

Also, I let a guy knock on our door this morning too because I'm too afraid of answering the door when I'm home alone. When I finally did answer the door because I felt bad, he said he was hear to fix our heat. I panicked and was like OMG GET OUT OUR HEAT IS FINE YOU CRAZY CREEPY WEIRDO, DON'T KILL ME. Thankfully I said that in my head though, because turns out he just had the wrong apartment and didn't intend on killing me after all. Whew.

Leeann @ Join the Gossip said...

Lol the whole clove thing always confuses me too!

And I'm pretty sure that's CURRENTLY what my kitchen looks like ha!

Jess said...

You are so funny! Lol about the garlic. Girl, I have way too many whoops to name this week! :)

Veronica Lee Burns said...

haha these are hilarious!

Stephanie said...

Number 4 cracked me up! Yes, a clove is the one portion of the full thing (I think the full thing is called a 'head of garlic' but I could be wrong...). I have many whoops moments all the time so it's nice to hear I'm in good company. :)

xo,
Stephanie

Sarah Notes said...

I'm laughed to myself for the whole post because I'm pretty sure I've done all of it, too...whoops! Makes life more fun, right? :)

Paula @ Beauty Through Imperfection said...

I have been known to be guilty of all of those when we were newlyweds (2-3 years ago) except number 3... i would never attempt to make my own curtains. mainly because I know I'd end up a crying mess.

;)

Emily said...

i refuse to answer the door when i'm home alone! i mean, that's not a whoops that is just being safe, right? ;)

Courtney said...

I didn't know about cloves of garlic either! Thankfully my friend was there to save me before I put 6 huge hunks of garlic in my recipe, haha.

Tara said...

Haha I did the garlic thing and while doing it i was thinking "who has time to do this is takes forever to mince all of these!". Needless to say after lots of mincing I found out what a clove meant :/. Whoops! You aren't the only one!

Meg O. said...

Um, yeah. I have TONS of those moments! Love this post!

Elizabeth Mayberry said...

sounds like my life! ha. good thing no one is perfect!

Becca Moss said...

You are absolutely hilarious! I don't blame you for not wanting to answer the door without your husband home though! Stinks that he was actually just delivering a package.

Jamie J said...

HAHA.. super cute! I would have loved to have tasted the garlic-y food.

Corrina Christina said...

Ha , I'm the same, If I don't know who's calling. I'll hover around the house trying to spy on who it is.I also won't open the door without my makeup on :-)

Ginny @ Buttergirl Diaries said...

Haha! This reminds me so much of me. I'm the same way with dinner. It takes me forever and I start late. My fiance and I almost NEVER eat dinner before 8:30. It's just becoming normal.

I also never answer when I'm home alone. Nope, sorry. NOt going to do that. Also, solicitors don't really exist anymore with the internet. They are almost becoming a thing of the past.

:)
