I Could Never Quit

Today I am linking up with Morgan from Believe in the Sparks, because (a) I love link ups and haven’t done one in a long time (b) I love this idea for a post and it seemed like fun.

 

I could never quit…

 

Diet Coke. When my feet hit the floor, the first thing I am looking for is a Diet Coke. Because let’s be honest, I am hard core addicted and have no desire to give it up. ever. I love a Diet Coke. This article pretty much sums up my life.

 

My Planner. Lets be real. I could NOT function without my planner. After years and years of searching for my perfect planner, I found it and it happened to be leopard print (like I said, it is perfect and might have been fate). I could seriously never quit my MyAgenda or having a real, hard copy planner for that matter. It just calms me. I love getting a new planner and writing everything in it 🙂 My husband thinks thats insanely boring, but I just can’t get enough of it.

 

Chick-fil-a. Chick-fil-a is my jam. It wins spot number three because its pretty much my favorite fast food place and tends to wind up in my stomach once a week/ every other week. It is just sooo good.

 

Candy. I’m a snacker and I have a really big sweet tooth. I could never quit candy. My reward every week for going to the grocery store is a candy bar, and every meal tends to end in a sweet for me.

 

Kate Spade. I should probably really say, a black leather handbag. Kate Spade is just so classic and nothing screams classic more to me than black leather. You can find me carrying one every day of the week. I don’t really mix up my purse style that much at all. Hince, it makes this list – I just can’t quit.


 
Cereal. Is it bad that so many of my items I could never quit involve food? Like I said, I am major snacker. The indicator in our house that dishes need to be done is when we run out of bowls. We have  over 30 and they tend to only last a week. I would say 1-2 bowls of cereal are consumed by me each day. I really like having a bowl of cereal when I get home from work or when I am about to go to bed.

 
Shopping. Shopping is def. my verb. My niece and I went yesterday for half the day and just walked around the mall. Our mall is an outside mall and the weather was beautiful yesterday, so it was just perfect and so much fun. I could never quit. love to shop way too much!

 
iPhone. My iPhone is attached to me at all times really. I am normally on social media or answering emails.

 
Sunshine. I think I said it earlier this week, but my mood really changes with the weather. I need sunshine in my life.

    I would link up but I would have an identical list. Chick fila, diet coke, my planner, my iphone…nope. Couldn’t quit.

    I thought I could never quit Diet Coke, and I’m not 100% off, but I will say, when I haven’t had it in a while, and then I have it again, the sweetener tastes kinda gross. I have yet to find a diet soda that doesn’t give me that weird aftertaste.

    I could most definitely live off of cereal. Is that cinnamon toast crunch? MY FAVE!!!

    My list would probably start and end with margaritas…. yum!

    Yay! Thanks so much for linking up!! I love that you also couldn’t quit chick-fil-a. It’s just SO good! In fact, I think now I know what I want for lunch today!

    Yessss, CEREAL! Hahah, running out of bowls in our house is an indicator of needing to do dishes, too! I recently was telling my husband, if there was one food item I had to eat for the rest of my life, it would be cereal.

    I can’t quit my planner either, I love having to write things in my hand. I love that yours is leopard print!! There is no way I could quit food, my iPhone, or shopping either. I love the sunshine, but the pollen being created because of it is killing me.

    I keep telling myself I should get rid of my iPhone because i’m so addicted, but lets be honest, that won’t happen. Hahaha.
