Confessions

So I'm waiting for my new computer to be shipped to me. It is taking longer than expected and I am going crazy looking at all the pictures on my camera and not being able to blog. It will be coming. Until then I am getting antsy. I need to blog about something.


Here are some of my confessions


1. I have eaten three times as much of my childrens' Easter candy than they have. I am ashamed.


2. I have never ever sent a text message on my phone. I don't even know how to. I've received a few lately, which is kind of exciting.


3. I have never ever made home made bread. Never. I don't even know how to work the yeast. I've never even made bread machine bread. But I have made rhodes rolls/bread a time or two.


4. I have been on a reading kick lately. So when Julia comes down from her hour quiet time I tell her she needs to keep being quiet so I can read.


5. It took me 30 minutes to thread the bobbin on the sewing machine I got for Christmas. I know that it will take me that long to thread a different color so everything I have sewn in the past few months has been with black thread. It's amazing how versitile black thread is. Well, I suppose I've only sewn like four things so maybe it isn't that versitile.


6. I cut a pair of old slacks and turned them into black shorts. I folded the bottom up and sewed it totally crooked. I don't care. I wear them anyway. Totally not worth un-picking them.


7. If you call me on the phone I can pretty much guarantee that we will talk for at least twenty minutes. I can go up to an hour (I think I have even been guilty of two). I don't know what is wrong with me. I just keep on talking.


8. I am nearly flat footed (is that a word?) I think it hinders athletic ability because I run really slow. When we would do the 40 yard dash in gym class I would just want to die. The football players would time us and my time was SO slow. It was a cruel form of embarrassment if you ask me. I would just cringe as I crossed the finish line and the cocky football player would yell out my time. The shame.


9. I have back fat and it makes me very angry.


10. I literally cannot walk out of Target without spending fifty dollars. Half of which is spent on stuff that I didn't really need but it was on clearance and I might need it in the future and how could I pass it up when it was just two dollars I mean for that price I had to buy six and in four years Audrey will wear it every day and it was just a such a great deal. Today I found little bramuda shorts that were on sale and of course I had to get matching and of course I had to find shirts to match. It's a problem.


11. I don't really like Oprah. She bugs me.


12. I do like reality t.v. Maybe it's seeing so many people act like complete morons that is just mezmorizing. It's hard to look away.


13. I know all the words to the theme song "Duck Tales." Do you remember that show? "Life is like a hurricaine here in Duckberg..." We used to watch Disney Afternoon every single day. I could probably sing a bit of Rescue Rangers, Talespin and Gummy Bears if asked. "Gummy Bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere. High adventure that's beyond compare. They are the Gummy Bears..."


14. I have been spelling "separately" incorrectly for my piano students for five years. I tell them to play their hands "seperately." Until recently my eyes were opened by one of my students who told me to think of "a rat" "separately". So yeah pretty much humiliated. The student apparently became the teacher.


15. I stay up way way way way too late at night. And then I'm a beast of the field the next day. I have so much admiration for those that go out running at four a.m. and clean their house and do fifteen projects and make pancakes and learn chinese, etc, etc. Though I must say it is pretty impressive that I can get me and the girls up, dressed, fed and out the door in thirty minutes.


16. In reference to the previous confession, I drop Julia off at preschool without makeup and in sweats. I'm pretty sure that when I pick her up her teacher thinks that I am a different person.


17. I just found the anniversary card that I bought for Bryan. Our anniversary was a couple of weeks ago. Even worse, do you know what I thought when I found it? I can't believe I spent three bucks on this thing! Maybe he'll still appreciate it a month late?


Well that went on longer than planned. Apparently I had a lot to get off my chest. Until I am finally able to load pictures on my computer, I just had Kara take more professional pictures of my girls. There are so many wonderful ones that I will officially post later but until then check them out. Kara never ceases to exceed my expectations.
