10 Confessions
Because MooncatBlue told me to
(she threatened to send chupacabras to steal my underwear if I did not comply so what choice did I have.)
- I am deathly afraid of seahorses, I know this is not logical in any sense but when I see images of them I want to faint. This fear adds an element of risk to visiting aquariums.
- I am not a patient person. I might appear patient but I have to work my hardest at not yelling “come on, get the lead out” at any number of people and situations. When I manage to control this part of myself and behave in a calm and patient manner, I feel nothing less than victorious. This happens 37 times a day.
- I will do anything to avoid washing silverware and will let it pile in the sink for days until we run out of spoons or Trevor comes home and washes them (whichever comes first)
- I will also do anything to avoid putting laundry away, I will happily wash and hang and fold laundry but will feign any number of illnesses to avoid actually putting the stuff in my drawers. ha ha, i said “stuff in my drawers”.
- Sometimes I hide behind my camera.
- I only shaved one armpit last week; I was taking a bath before bed and was extremely tired. It was not until an hour later that this occurred to me. I am ashamed to admit it took me another 24 hours before I bothered to “even things out”.
- I will not throw out underwear until the elastic is shot; this is the point where I cannot tell the waist from the leg holes and invariably end up putting them on all crookedly and have to cut them off because this is easier than taking off my pants (see impatience, #2).
- I’m on Facebook and sometimes I even post things there.
- I don’t act it but I am really pretty angry about having asthma and about missing out on so much these past few years because I couldn’t breathe.
- I might be blogging again. I say might because if I say I AM blogging again but have a hard time blogging and change my mind then I end up feeling badly about it. But I think I have found my spark again, I just don’t want to scare it away by talking about it. Oh wait, did I do that just now? Shhhh.
If you would like to confess then consider yourself tagged (if you are having a hard time with motivation let me know and I can send mooncatblue’s chupacabra along to steal your underpants since mine were not worth stealing).

Have I ever told you I adore you? I do. I like you more than cheese. Really, it is quite possible you could be my long lost sister. Heh. Except I am much braver about sea horses. Muskellunge, not so much.
this is far too clever to imitate.
These were great – now I might have to play along.
OOOH I hate putting away the laundry. HATE it.
i missed your blogging. i hope you are back for good.
i will confess something to you.
i have 2 of your old blogs printed out and hung on my fridge.
i read them often, and read them aloud often to guests.
one was about the freedoms you wish for your children.
one was about letting go and eating cereal because it’s good to eat what you like.
What great timing! Just the push I needed as I had been planning a confession blog post in my head but, I confess, have not done it. About your confessions – you are indeed patient. You are one of the most patient, positive people I know (I am now able to say that I know you, and I am RIGHT about this
Also, I so hope you keep feeling the need to hide behind the camera so we get to see what you see through your lens. :big-smile:
You are the most delightful person I do not know in person that I know.
I love you in all of your seahorse-fearing Julieness. Lisa
It has been nice to see you back.
You have the ability to make me smile!
Thank you
Anytime there is a chupacabra involved, it’s best to comply.
I love you, and i am STILL chuckling!
Love so many of these answers! Glad to know someone else is fighting their impatience as I am…ha! Get the lead out! Funny stuff.
I just completed an interview with Inspiring Mama/Jubella Blog and you are one of my answers. Don’t think you know the inspirtaion you are.
Glad you are breathing again!
