I love having a lot of garbage.
I know, not politically correct of me. Not green of me. Not polite. Not small and tidy.Not very ladylike.
I like to have a lot of garbage because it means I have a big life.
Christmas was at my house this year and the next garbage day I wheeled that baby to the curb with PRIDE. We were fat with garbage. (I feel the hate mail starting…. Erin can we still be friends?)
I love buying a lot of food.
same reason- it means I have a big life.
I love when I am at the grocery store and people look at my grocery cart and say “are you having a party?” And I say “Everyday.”
I love overdressing
I love when someone says “Big day?” And it is a slow Tuesday.
Don’t look in the mirror – just wear it. And never apologize or explain.
If you don’t own a tutu you are taking yourself too seriously
I eat behind the wheel of my car
Just yesterday I ate a whole avocado and a slab of roast beef at a red light. Balanced. Good for me. And time saving. Likely worthy of a ticket.
I noticed the car beside me staring. They must have been hungry.
I love being interrupted
I love it when people drop by. And open my fridge and interrupt my busy day. It soothes and satisfies my ADHD.
My mother looks younger than me
And I love her anyway. Mostly.
I force my children to eat everything on their plates
and I make them shower. And choose some form of exercise. And worship me.
Call me Satan. I can’t help myself.
oh and I grab their tushies. Always have and always will. I have stopped biting them recently though.
I hate shopping
this is strange because I am very girl.
But I hate shopping for things.
Collossal waste of time.
And of course “you want me to pay what for that?” And let’s not mention the pesky salesgirl who thinks you only will buy it if she says “I have this in 8 colours.” Ummm- I don’t want to look/dress like you.
But I magically want to have everything I need in my cupboard.
This makes for frustration.
I love hardware stores
so many solutions under one roof
and sometimes the helpful and knowledgeable boys who work there who get excited about the darndest things.
I love it when I have something someone needs
if someone calls and says “Do you have a road map of the Berkshires?” or “do you have any bad 80’s bridesmaids outfits? Do you have six lemons? Any pink feathers? A magic wand?
If I can say yes, I am so happy.
This makes for storage issues.
I buy kleenex boxes because they are pretty
It hurts me to buy the brown ones.
What are your dirty little secrets? Come on you can share, we all have them….
yes
I have done all these things but not once
– I like when someone asks me where I bought something and then find they go buy the exact same item.
– I once realized I ran the dishwasher without the soap but had already put the dishes away….and did not bother to reload. We are still alive, so I guess it was not that bad.
– When my daughter was a baby (non verbal ) I accidentally dropped my cell phone in the toilet – but I blamed it on her when my husband had asked what happened.
oh ….that felt so much better…..
well we had a hailstorm- I am sure it was for that reason……
We just ran out of swedish fish last night….the world halted for a moment.
yes- I love the feeling that the pantry is stocked and I panic if there is no assortment of fresh fruit and jubjubes in the house.
I have a problem managing my money. LIke if I had $20 left and I had to pick between food or buying something I would be online shopping in an instant.
I hate shaving my legs and only do so when necessary.
I love having enough food in the house that if we somehow were forced to stay in our home because of some sort of forced quarantine, we would still be eating well and not have to resort to noodles for every meal.
ummm – I thought shaving legs everyday was normal? You don’t want to know me without that.
I come from a hairy tribe. And Haagen daz is in a small tub so I see it easily as an individual serving!
– I also shave my legs everyday… YES everyday( winter spring summer or fall) only in illness have I let it lapse… I cannot stand the feel of stubble in my pants, and getting into bed at night, I can feel it rub the sheets… eww
– eating a large tub of Haagen Daz is acceptable, and I stand by it
🙂
OMG that is nothing. I do that every day. Likely on this blog.
Are you my soulmate?
(except for the stick-shift thing, bed-making, and smoking thing)
Its a really long story that involves not knowing how to cite sources properly when you write an essay for a final exam in Art History. See? I had good intentions…
I like you big time! excellent list. Thanks for sharing
– I prefer driving stick over standard, and I drive better than my husband does
– I love my sheets bleached and tucked army tight, and my husband does not ! really pisses me off
– I still cant quit smoking, correction I can quit- alot -and I have such self loathing and shame ….I hide it
– scared to drink alot I have a mother brother and a father ( on the wagon) who are all alcoholics.
– I would stay in bed all day and read if I could
– I have a new friend from another mother who I know is a lifer
-people always mistake my shyness for snobbery
– I LOVE to shop, like therapy, even If I dont buy anything just to wander and get lost
I love hardware stores for the same reason – the same applies to drug stores. The promise to fix everything!
And I am the same about loving the have just the thing for someone – not only at home, but also at work, which makes me job awesome most of the time.
I don’t have a lot of secrets because I have a big mouth an little impulse control.
she will tell if you share a few secrets……..
I’d love to know how you accidentally cheated on an exam! 🙂
that was funny!I cannot imagine it to be true but that was funny
Oh, this one is painful.
I feel like a very unconvincing transvestite in girly clothes.
I see them on the rack and just wish I had the girlytude to handle it but .. 🙁
sigh,
Id
LOVE THIS!
I also hate shopping (like HATE), I make my kids eat everything on their plates (and I’m totally going to hell for it), and I love it when I have something that someone needs.
FANTASTIC stuff
ask my book club if I finish many of the books…..
did the girl from grade 6 turn to a life of crime as a result?
Ok. So only if you promise not to tell anyone:
1. I really do think that my gifted students are smarter than me and am intimidated by them.
2. I eat A LOT more than people think I do…like I eat more than my husband.
3. I don’t drink alcohol very much because I am afraid of alcoholism. It runs in my family.
4. I blamed something bad that I did in grade 6 on another girl and she got suspended.
5. I accidentally cheated on a university exam…but the professor took pity on me and didn’t report it.
6. I don’t really like most fruit or vegetables and only eat them because they are healthy. Specifically, don’t tell that one to my kids.
7. I hate most classic novels and have lied about reading a few of them…like Life of Pi, Animal Farm, and Handmaiden’s Tale.
What secrets? I already told you guys where I stash my porn… there’s nothing left to tell, I swear!!
yes but where are your secrets?????
I like you so much, Village… 😉
