Random Confessions About Myself (Read ‘em and Weep)
- January 25th, 2008 10:41 pm
-I am the worst car passenger ever. I get car sick and anxious. Both of which lead me to giving the driver of the vehicle continuous instructions about how I think the driving process should go down. It irritates my husband to death. I’m all, “BRAKE!! BRAKE!!! That light is red!! OOPS, PEDESTRIAN!*bump*”
- Sometimes in the grocery story, I stick my tongue out at children. Then, when they rat me out to their mothers (and they all do) I put on a straight face on and concentrate on the items in front of me as if it didn’t happen. Honestly, I learned this game from my mother. She used to do it all the time. I can’t help it. It’s so fun. You have to try it!
-When I was in the first grade, I pulled the fire alarm in my elementary school cafeteria. The firetrucks rolled up soon after my innocent mischief. In my defense, it said PULL. What’s a girl to do?
-I adore all things science. I’m very serious about it.
-I’d rather be beaten with a bag of hot nickels than wash dishes. Seriously.
- I was a really prissy child, and that is completely opposite of how I am now. Once, while losing control riding my bicycle, I was given the choice between hitting a car or rolling down a dirty hill. I chose to hit the Buick, because I was not getting dirty. That is so far from who I am now.
- I went to not one but TWO New Kids On The Block Concerts. Danny was mine. All mine.
-Once upon a time, I smoked cigarettes like it was my job. If I look back and simultaneously make use of the broad definitions of job, I guess it was.
-I love to write ranty, rhyming poetry. I’ve been doing this since middle school, and I can’t stop. (I’m feeling one coming on tomorrow since I missed out on Haiku Friday.)
-I met the lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls once in an airport. I was wearing zebra pajama pants, and I only had a barf bag from the plane for him to autograph. (It was empty! I promise!)
Okay, okay. Enough about me, it’s your turn….confess something. Come on, it’ll be fun!
PS. About the voting.

I hate the circus. I hate the smell of the circus. It pains me that as a mother I will have to endure at least one circus until my genes kick in and the kids realize they hate the circus too..

How cute are you?? Laughed so hard at the tongue sticking out, perhaps I’ll use that tactic next time I meet my nemesis at the grocery store. And I kinda got stuck on the concert thing so here goes, I saw Milli Vanilli. I mean really is that so embarrassing? I can’t believe I just admitted that.
Love you blog and I will DEFINITELY be back for more! Oh and your little one is a cutie!

ROFL! I’m soooo happy I found you, you are delicious goodness.
Confessing that I know where all three of my Cabbage Patch Kids are… right now. I can go get them, and name them. I’m 31. I have issues.

Here’s my confession: I did not take cupcakes to school this year for my baby girl’s birthday. I think it’s the only time I’ve missed doing that. It seems that some perfect mothers out there think this is a sin! I never knew it was the law. In fact, I never had cupcakes taken to school on my birthday, and….get this….I LIVED.
I took cupcakes in last year and I’ll probably do it again next year, but by God this year it just didn’t happen. Life will go on!

Ooh how fun! I’m a silent back seat driver. You can only tell by the expressions on my face and by looking at my right foot pressing the imaginary brake.
And as something we have in common: I’ve met the lead singer of the Goo-Goo Dolls too! That’s a story for another time though.
Hmm, a confession?
I went almost a month without shaving my legs this winter.

After I take my daughter to school, I go home and go back to bed. Sometimes, I sleep until it’s time to pick her up. My husband has no idea. I love having the bed to myself.

I love #2. I’d like to try that at work. Maybe to some of my adult customers.

LMAO!!! this was hilarious….”I chose the Buick”–Bahahahahaha!
I actually met Danny from NKOTB in Miami. He was a regular at a store I worked at. Him and his Barbie (plastic and all) wife came to visit all the time… Girl, you ain’t missin’ nuthin’
And I love that “I stick my tongue out at children…” preludes “when I was in the first grade…”

Oh my goodness how funny is the tongue story! I will definitely have to try it, for some reason kids don’t think it is too funny to just wave and say hi in a baby voice - which is what I do with my eight month olds, and btw they think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread! Hmm, lets see though, my first concert was an NSYNC concert..oh yes, those five sexy devils or was it four? I can’t even remember, lol. I also had a New Kids On The Block video, it was definitely the coolest thing I ever owned.

I have to shave every day. Every. Single. Day. I must always be prepared for anything that comes my way, and smooth skin is a good first step, IMO

Ok, the above comment about shaving? It’s mine. Sassy must have signed in when she was over last time. Because here’s Sassy’s confession: She shaves on a monthly basis and often breaks the razor on account of the growth.
Except in the summer. She’s a tad more diligent. Now, don’t tell her I told you.

Have a great day!

That’s so funny, I like the zebra pants and sticking out the tongue too.
For me, hmmmm, I’ll go to the gym, work out and then go eat some fries. You’re supposed to have protein about 20 minutes after a workout right? Isn’t grease the new protein?
Bloghopping.. thanks for popping last night…

I’m such a backseat driver, which is why I drive instead of Erik all the time because his driving just pisses me off.

Wow, where do I start…ok, so…
I am also a HORRIBLE passenger but not because I’m car sick, just because I am. I’m constantly yelling at the driver not to tailgate, stop, Stop, STOP!!…things like that.
I’m so sticking my tongue out at children when I go grocery shopping today. I just have to try it.
I HATE DOING DISHES. I got my own place with friends right after high school. One of my roommates was like 10 yrs older than the rest of us and INSISTED that we wash the dishes a certain way. He would WAKE US UP to do the dishes. I’m scarred for life.
Oh, and zebra pajama pants and a barf bag…LOVE IT! So funny. GREAT POST! Very entertaining

Danny Wood? I can hook you up
My mom was his HS teacher. She chased him all the way to the Boston Public library one day when they skipped class. Him and Donny Wahlberg. They tried to pull the “we’re the New Kids” on her as she dragged them ear-first back into class. Gotta love unhip teachers.

Great post! Love learning more about you! I am so with you on the car thing. I am one of those foot pressed on the invisible break, one hand on the roof, one hand griping the drivers arm….sigh. I’d rather drive…a lot less stressful for all parties involved.

Confessions:
My son said they’re still trying to figure out who left behind the broken cake… Did I also mention I put 180 proof rum in the frosting? I did.
#1: I stick my tongue out at other people’s kids at the grocery store, too.
#2: I hate other people’s kids.
#3: I delivered a broken cake to my 9 year old son’s all boy’s catholic school bake sale. No one knew it was broken and that it had fallen on the floor, because I covered it with lots and lots of icing. They don’t know me at the school, even though I’m the only American mom, I decided to not open my mouth and just hand over the cake and leave.
#4: Last year I snagged a $10 bill a guy had dropped while paying for his cover charge into a nightclub my girlfriend and I were leaving. I gave it to a homeless man who I watched walk to a sandwich shop. No kidding. My friend was mad, but I was proud. Good job homeless man…You taught my friend something.
I love your blog, I just found it this morning…Confession #5 while drinking a beer. I did move to Ireland afterall.

I tear up when the person who has been Punk’d (on the show Punk’d, obviously) finally finds out that it was just a joke. I have NO idea why I do it.

Hi there!
I stumbled across your blog via the bloggie site and I have been laughing my butt off for the last ten minutes! Also, between the NKOTB (they’re reuniting, didja hear?) and ranting rhymes, we have a lot in common!
