1. Would you rather be on ABC's Extreme Home MakeOver or TLC's What not to Wear?
Hmm...that is tough. I wouldn't mind a home from Extreme Home MakeOver just because they always turn out beautifully and are finished quickly (and free!) but I think I'd probably have to choose the what not to wear. I don't think my fashion sense is horrible, but I could use the help with new ideas.
2. Do you have any tattoos?
I have one tattoo. It was during my "rebellion" stage...as much of one as I had. (I was a good kid) It's of a pink hibiscus and is about the size of a quarter in a place that's super easy to hide, except in bathing suit. I was 18 when I got it. I would never have gotten one now, but what's done is done. I don't hate it, but it will be interesting to see what it looks like when I'm 60 haha.
3. Do you tell your kids about things you did growing up?
I don't have kids. And Lily...she doesn't care. Like I mentioned before, I was a pretty good kid. If I ever happen to have a child and they have the same experiences I have, I'll be pretty happy. And that's not to toot my own horn, I really just stayed out of trouble.
4. If the traffic signal turns yellow, do you stop or speed up?
It really depends.
Am I far away? I'll probably stop.
Am I running late? I'll probably speed up.
I really hate red light runners, and we have a lot down here so I try to not be that person. Who wants to get in an accident and hurt someone else or myself because I couldn't stand to wait 2 minutes to get through the light?
5. What's your preference: chocolate or chips?
I'm not a huge chocolate fan, I'm more of a chocolate + something else kind of gal. Give me chocolate covered pretzels or trail mix so I get my salty and sweet and I'm a happy kid! Flipz=Amazing! I think that's why I love peanut butter cups so much too...yum. You should check these little guys out:
They're better than the big ones my my lowly opinion!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I confess that I can be a brat sometimes. Not too often, but if I feel strongly enough about something and someone is fighting me, I put my heels in the ground and dig in...hard. Normally, I'm pretty just go with it. But, I had a moment like that recently. Sometimes, I need my little bratty vent time and then I can deal like a mature adult. I apologized to the one who got to witness this, but some days...it happens.
I confess that as much as I love fruits and veggies, there's nothing more satisfying than a cookie/cupcake/ice cream sometimes. I've gone a little overboard with the sweets lately, so I'm trying to bring myself back down to moderation. The only way to break myself is to stop for a while and then slowly allow myself to come back around to moderation. I have to stop eating sweets?! For this nonsense, I blame Christmastime (even though I love it..don't be mad Christmas). It was a friend's birthday last night so I did have a little piece of cake. I will not, however, bake any wonderful goodness in the form of cakes/cookies/cupcakes until I've broken my sugary spirit so I can go back to normal. Oh for that day to come! Hurry! Cadbury Eggs and Girl Scout Cookies are out and I want them so bad, but I need control back first!
I confess that I haven't been on my game this week. I don't know what it is about travelling, but it seems to beat you down. Maybe it's the flight...maybe it's the energy exerted snowboarding...maybe my body is exhausted from keeping myself warm in sub-zero temperatures. I don't know. All I know is I have been struggling this week. All I know is, today, after work, I'm running 10 miles and my body is so excited and can't wait. Seriously. I'm happy..on the inside! My first run this week...holy cow.
I confess that I brought up Lily being in a couple of our wedding photos. John got mad at me and said no. Why not? She's part of the family. I feel a little guilty about wanting it so bad since I know it's a huge deal and a covenant made before God and I wouldn't bring Lily to church...but I can't help it. I'll just put the dress on for our girls wedding dress dinner and have someone else take a picture of me later with her...mwahahaha.
I confess I've been a little dry this week. Probably goes back to that lack of sleep. I just couldn't resist my snarky comments at John's softball game Tuesday. Tonight there's another game...will I feel the need to laugh when someone almost gets hit by the ball or loudly cheer for the other team to trip? Only time will tell.
I confess if you couldn't already tell, I need sleep to be nice and function, and, as you've probably read before and can see from some of the other confessions today. If I do not catch up this weekend, I might be in trouble. Just sayin...
What are your confessions?
