Confessions

Admit/Confess/Divulge. Whatever you want to call it.


1. I drink diet Coke like a fish ( I know. Shocker. Have you seen my food storage? )




2. I don't iron



3. I've flirted my way out of a speeding ticket



4. I've never seen the movie ET



5. The older I get, the darker I like my chocolate


6. My daughter killed our friend's beta fish we were supposed to watch while they were out of town 5 minutes after it was dropped off at our house. She got a wooden spoon and "stirred" it. We spent the next week jumping from one pet store to another, with dead fish in a Ziploc baggie, trying to find one that looked just like it. The girl never knew



7. I drove with some friends on a whim to the Grand Canyon and three of the five of us thought it would be fun to ride in the bed of a pick up. A few hours into the drive, in February, we started to realize it wasn't such a great idea after all



8. I'm deathly afraid of heights and extremely claustrophobic



9. When checking out at the grocery store, I put my items in a specific OCD, neatly stacked and arranged order onto the conveyor belt



10. I got bucked off of a horse riding bareback at the stable next door to our house in Pennsylvania. I picked the one horse that wasn't broken in yet. My parents didn't find out until about 10 years later. I've had back problems ever since



11. I remember the combination to my elementary school lock. 19-34-12. I still have the lock


12. I would rather drink hot dog water than eat sushi


13. I haven't read a novel since my first child was born ( Who the heck has that kind of time unless you're a man and can lock themselves in the bathroom for 30 minutes uninterrupted? )


14. I actually enjoyed my c-section and recovery WAY better than the

( ehem ) "other" option. I especially enjoyed the 4 sometimes 5 days, if I could swing it, "vacation"


15. I can't wink


16. I color my hair

17. I still have leg warmers I wore in the mid 80's in my drawer. I'm saving them for an 80's night sometime

18. I discovered a whole new wardrobe now that clothes I haven't been able to wear in about 4 years finally fit again. The bad news is peasant shirts are now out of style.


19. I'm turing 38 on Saturday and like smelly lotions from Bath and Body Works

( how's that for a hint?)

I have a few questions...which locker is yours at the gym...now that I have the combination? When are we going out for sushi/hot dog water with our husbands? (I couldn't agree more) And I need to know the order you place things on the conveyor belt at the store...I have a very inquiring mind.

LOL! I'm going to give away my OCD secret!

So the order is.....let's say we're at Walmart..... I stack my box stuff first and like items are stacked together. Multiple canned items are put in a row based on the content. All corn cans together, all tomatoes together etc. Then I have my toiletries, again, they have to all be together if I have multiples. Then produce and eggs. Any coupons I have go on top of the item which saves time from the cashier who will have to just go back and make sure I actually purchased the item. All of my ad-match stuff is the last that I put on the belt to give me a chance to get everything else on and get to the cashier and tell them the price. Milk is always last.

And I'm game for going out....I can handle teppanyaki!
