Confessions no. 2

I insist on having a theme song at all times.  The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes is my current theme.  I listen to it every morning.

My postman is fantastic.  I can set my watch by that little man.  People who are superior at their job – two thumbs way up.

There was this woman in my old neighborhood who I would see walking almost everyday for the seven years I lived there.  Her weight never changed from the first day I saw her to the last day I left, but she walked every day despite rain, heat, or snow.   I don’t know her name.  But her persistence was inspiring.  I wonder how many people have inspired others and have no idea.  It reminds me that our everyday actions have unknown ripple effects.

It’s seriously embarrassing how much I miss shopping in Dallas.  I can hardly talk about it.

I now live in Eagle, Idaho.  After almost six months of living here, last week I found a decent mall a million minutes away from my home.  I almost started crying.  I can’t tell you how embarrassed I am writing that. I feel so shallow, but it’s true.

I have this weird thing with moms who eat off their child’s plate.  I can’t approve.  I am so sorry if this offends you.

Once in a while when I’m craving a treat, I trick the kids into saying they want one – just so I can justify it.
Mr. Lewis: “Oh, you made raspberry gelato.”
Me: “The kiddos wanted some sooo bad. I just finally gave in.”  (Best said with a bit of exasperation.)

How is that any different than eating off your child’s plate?

Sometimes when the kids fall asleep in the car, I still keep the radio going pretty loud. I just need the music sometimes.

Just finished The Hunger Games trilogy.  Peeta, Gale, Katniss…what can I say?

Also just finished Shades of Grey Trilogy. Christian Grey?  Enough said.

I have the biggest crush on 50 cent.  Did you see him being interviewed by Oprah?  He was adorable.

I am worried about Taylor Swift dating a Kennedy.  That being said, if they become engaged, I would kill to do their wedding invitations.
