Fess up.
As the book says, most bloggers take the time to water things down, hone, delete and reshape so that posts are not misconstrued or taken out of context. So, here are a few of my confessions, straight out of my mind and without the benefit of a mental filtration system.
1. I’m addicted to chocolate chip cookie dough (the homemade variety). I feel like such a stereotypical fat chick when I say that, but it’s true. My weight loss downfall? Chocolate chip cookie dough. Thankfully, keeping the essential ingredients (chocolate chips, vanilla pudding mix) out of the house works wonders, because it’s not worth packing up kids and hauling them and myself to the grocery store just so I can glom on some cookie dough and magically put on a few ounces of weight overnight.
2. I kill goldfish. I tried several times in my pre-teens and teens to keep goldfish, but the little finned bastards always kicked the bucket within a month. I think I did it all right: a decent size fish tank, filtration, correct treatment/conditioning of the water, and so on and so forth, but without fail any goldfish I purchased would go belly up in less than six weeks.
3. I don’t bite my nails, but I do have a bad habit of picking at the skin on the inside of my upper lip. Then it feels raw and jagged, which drives me nuts, so I pick at it some more. Then it scabs up, which drives me nuts, and around and around I go.
4. I am incredibly rude to telemarketers, especially those that continue to call back even after they’ve been told to kindly fuck off. Depending on my mood, I’ll a) put Alyssa on the phone to babble to them b) pick up the phone and then hang it up c) say, “Hello?” in a pleasant voice, and then once they respond start screaming obscenities at them.
5. I refill my plastic, store-purchased water bottles (this is very bad for you).
…Your turn? Confess something!
Hey, I pick at my lips too. It’s horrible. I pick and pick and can’t seem to stop. It’s kind of gross, but I really can’t help it.
This is pretty interesting. I like reading peoples little secrets. I should do something similar one day.
I do the same bloody thing to my upper lip – and have for over a decade. I’ll leave it alone for months at a time, but it never heals properly.
I used to do the refilling water bottles thing until a local “OMGHEALTHALERT” news piece scared me off of it. I just bought about a dozen of those stainless steel water bottles, and refill those instead after a run through the dishwasher.
Yikes I thought it was only bad if you let them bake in the sun??? Off to read!
Wow I refill water bottles too! I never knew it was bad for you. Like Ranee, I had only heard that it was bad to leave them in the sun.
