True Confessions
I hardly ever wash my face at night because I'm too tired by the time I go upstairs to bed. I sleep with mascara still on my lashes. I have no skin care regimen, even though I've had the same face for almost 40 years. I wear my contact lenses longer than I should each day.
I have the same jeans I wore in college because I refuse to believe that they will not fit again some day.
The other day, at Michael's (the craft store), I tried to shop in the clearance aisle, but a woman in a gigantic wheelchair was blocking the whole aisle. I went around and came in through the other end of the aisle and she moved and blocked me again. I actually rolled my eyes at her and I think I may have let an audible sigh of exasperation escape my lips.
I have been known to change my mind about an item in a store and have left it on a random shelf. Sometimes, I don't return my shopping cart.
I did not have my first kiss until I was a college freshman.
Sometimes, I'll pretend I don't see someone in a store so I don't have to chat. I pretend I'm invisible.
I say to my kids, "Because I said so!" and "You are driving me crazy!" I yell more than I ever anticipated in my pre-motherhood days.
I'd rather read than go to a party.
I judge people by their grammar, both verbal and written.
I am avoiding my transcription job and my laundry.
Every once in awhile, I say something outrageous just to get a reaction from people.
I feel guilty about my broken relationship with my ex-sister, but I can't figure out how to mend it without apologizing, but I can't figure out what I would be apologizing for.
I regret going to Bible College and wish I'd just gotten a real degree in nursing, instead.
I quit taking art and music in high school because I was terrified I'd get a "B" in those classes because they are subjective.
I hide chocolate.
I emailed my arch enemy from college, a girl I caught talking behind my back. I wondered how she was doing and I was all friendly. I ignored her when she asked how I found her email address--just to drive her crazy. Turns out, she's divorced and a small, sinful part of me thought, "Good! Serves you right!"
Now. Anyone have anything to confess?

I do this from time to time. I know the other person is doing it and s/he knows that I am doing it. You just don't always want to stop to chat in the grocery store.
Someday, I may try one of these listy types of blogs that you have just done so well. My daughter does one from time to time, and I have read other good ones too, but lists aren't my natural style.
every once in a while, when the teacher's not looking, i'll let my eyes slip to the paper next to me during a test when i'm confused at a question. i don't really know why i do it. it's not that i really copy, because usually the person got the wrong answer and i'll figure out the right one a minute later. i guess i just like to give myself a boost of confidence.
I confess that I hide Mallamar cookies in the drawer next to my bed. I purposely don't answer the phone when my MIL calls. I have been know to fake a back ache just to get out of doing housework. *Whew* I feel better now. Thanks for the opportunity to clear my conscience. :)
I don't wash my face at night, either. And everyone seems to comment about my great skin, so I figure its working. (I'm 41).
I don't like to be naked and I don't look at myself when I'm naked (which is when I take a shower).
I LIKE THIS TRUE CONFESSIONS.
WHEN MY GIRLS WERE KIDS. I WOULD GO SHOPPING AND BUY THEM COOKIES. BUT THE COOKIES WOULD DISAPEAR WAY BEFORE THEY EVER GOT INTO THE COOKIE JAR. AS THEY GOT OLDER I STARTED HIDING THE COOKIES IN THE JAR. NO ONE EVER THOUGHT TO LOOK THERE AFTER I SHOPPED. HAHA. HOPE THEY DONT READ THIS.
This was a fun post to read since we've all got our deep, dark secrets to hide. Mine?
I love my husband and kids very much, but really wish I had waited and finished college and then married.
When I get Red Hot potato chips I hide them from my son because I want them all for me.
I really do like brussel sprouts.
Yikes -- my grammar must kill me then. I certainly don't think it defines me but so be it :)
Confessions? I judge people when they lie to themselves. It drives me nuts!! :)
I was home sick today and should have taken a nap but I read blogs instead.
I ate almost all of my daughter's Halloween candy and she hasn't noticed yet.
Hey, this is fun!
Yes an illicit sort of love affair that started but never really happened if that makes any sense. A whole year has passed and the feelings are exactly as they were then ,for me that is...trying to understand why.
Yeah i do that too.when i feel unsociable,just dont feel like acknowledging any acquaintance!
i dont like chatting to people most of the time, but i love it when my friends call me out of the blue!
Secret-my bf and i have had sex long time ago, but i have given my mom the impression we haven't or wont, till we get married!!
