Here are my confessions..
- I am deathly scared of someone breaking into my house when I am alone. Too many episodes of America's Most Wanted when I was younger. Oh and yes, we do have an alarm system. Totally irrelevant.
- I sometimes feel like a 1950's housewife.
- I thrive on routine. Spur of the moment plans make my heart race.
- I unintentionally gave up drinking. I will still have a drink here and there, but barely drink anymore
- I was the pickiest eater growing up. I would only eat chicken, KD and Diet Coke.
- I find it hard to make girl friends. So I have a small number of close girl friends.
- I have the humour of a 12 year old boy. See:
- I sometimes wish I was taller...but then again I like being small
- I hate public speaking. Even for our wedding speech, Mr.D said everything
I also have trouble making girl friends. WEIRD.
ReplyDeleteWe had that poop book at our university house & we talked about poop far too often.
I also dislike spur of the moment things. It takes me a while to get used to an idea.
I'm with you on the people breaking in thing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with public speaking - yuck!
ReplyDeleteI also wish I was taller but then again decide nope, I like being short :)
I am 100% a creature of habit - anything unplanned freaks me out a tad, then I remember to try and take a deep breath and go with the flow - I am trying on that one!
I have a fear of being chased - maybe that is why I started running!?
That first one on your list has been my biggest fear since I was, oh, I don't know, 4 years old. I used to love watching cop shows(well, still love those..) But I have a terrible fear of someone breaking in when I'm home!
ReplyDeleteI like this edition!!!
ReplyDeleteI will respond to each point:
- I am totally not worried about someone breaking in. I think it comes from growing up in the country where we never locked out doors and left the keys in the ignition of our vehicles...
- Yah the lack of cooking might be why I don't ever feel like a 1950s housewife!! And the whole going to work everyday...
- Routine is my best friend... I hate last minute plans (not the plans themselves but just the lack of time to prepare!)
- I have also given up drinking. It is intentional though and will only last for another 6 months!! Seriously, even before getting PG, I drank way less than I did even a few years ago.
- I wasn't a picky eater growing up- I am more picky now though!
- I find it hard to believe that you have a hard time making girlfriends! You are so easy to talk to and very approachable! Anytime you want to hang out, let me know!!
- Humour of a 12 year old boy: sometimes? I can be a bit prudish though (i.e. I hate farting!) Haha!!
- I wish I was taller too!! Mostly because I come from a family of tall people so I feel short! Even you thought I would be taller!
- I dislike public speaking too. J said the entire speech at our wedding too and it is one of my regrets that I didn't say anything. I think I was more worried about crying though than the fear of speaking. Oh well!!
my husband and i have seen that book many times and we are always tempted to pick it up. i am all about routine, spur of the moment can't handle them at all! newest follower :-)
ReplyDeleteI hate public speaking too but Eric hates it more so I tend to do most of it! Once I get into a groove I'm OK but I do tend to talk really fast!
ReplyDeleteI refuse to speak at our wedding (when it happens!) I honestly choose my classes based on what ones I think will have less public speaking projects! Nothing gets me quite as flustered!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I totally want that book!

ReplyDeleteI randomly ready your blog today and totally understand the fear of someone breaking in - we had such a bad storms here last night that I'm not sure what I was hearing - it's always someone with a knife - too much CSI.
Love routines - but trying to stray off the mark - I left at 7a.m. for work instead of 6:30 a.m. whooo hooooo.
someone told me once that you should only have as many girlfriends as fingers on the one hand.
True friends are hard to find - anyone is lucky to have you as a friend. What a strange rule about the fingers?
I love public speaking - strange but true - but I'm absolutely terrified of the dentist - can't begin to understand the fear.
As for the 12 year old humour - I'm there!
love you! Remember the laughing until we cried when we went camping - trying to get on the float. OMG people must have thought we lost our minds. Thanks for the thought provoking blog today... now i'M GOING TO A BIKE RIDE IN THE RAIN.... BREAKING MY ROUTINE!
Test- I think it might be my work IE that won't let me comment on your blog because I think it's working now!
ReplyDeleteLove this post and love that your mom left that comment! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was taller too. :) I totally hate public speaking, thought I would cry during our speech at our wedding but actually got through my parts! :)
I confess I'm afraid of someone breaking in to my house to! Not that I have anything to take.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised to hear you have trouble making girlfriends are you seem so so likeable to me! :)
ReplyDeleteMy confession is that more often than not, I forget to lock my door. So no one has to break in, they just have to turn the knob. Not smart since I live alone and all!
Haha, I refused to do my own vows for the same reason. Also, I saved speech for the last class in college before I graduated and even took other irrelevant classes to avoid it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I sleep with my cell phone by the bed in case someone "cuts the phone lines." You never know. I've seen it in movies!
I like my routines too, a little too much. I don't have a lot of girlfriends either, I was a tomboy growing up and found it much easier to get along with boys. I was a picky eater when I was young, but I'm much better now. Although there are still somethings I won't eat.
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of these confessions, it's crazy! Especially the sticking to routine, and only having a few girlfriends. I find that quality over quantity rules when it comes to girls because it's hard to find...
