I love reading the daily confessions of Ree, the infamous Pioneer Woman. A true highlight of my morning blog reading. Back in April, Jora posted her confessions and concluded by asking if we had any that we'd like to share for ourselves. A bit delayed, but...
- Although blogging has done wonders for my soul- not so much for my waist.
- If we do not give Jacob a cell phone as he enters the 7th grade, he will be one of the only kids in his entire middle school, without one.
- If my piles of laundry could form a rebellion against me, I'd be an instant goner.
- The other day, I posted a comment on Ree's blog letting
herthe world know that I miss the days when Jacob was Tinky Winky for Halloween. - I own 74 cookbooks - but have yet to purchase an iPod.
- Three of the above include beverage recipes only.
- I actually came to enjoy the Teletubbies.
- I eat bulgar for breakfast, enjoy sipping a glass of fine wine, make my own pizza dough ... but put a bowl of Kraft Mac & Cheese in front of me ... and all of my gourmet/foodie instincts fall by the wayside.
- Sometimes I wish we lived on a farm.
- I've never purchased a Domino Magazine.
- I like Barry Manilow.
Whew... That does feel good.

love it! and you KNOW i agree about 8!
ReplyDeleteTorrie, I absolutely love this. And I love your intention of authenticity. It really shines through in this post. What is it with kids and cell phones these days?? That's going to be a hard one for me when I have children. I totally understand your desire to live on a farm. I grew up on one and loved it. While I love living in LA I still miss the solitude, space, and fresh produce of my parents' farm. Here are a few of my confessions:
ReplyDelete1. I really dislike shopping. I love getting new clothes/accessories, but the act of shopping is such a chore for me. I'd rather be doing anything else and just have the clothes appear in my closet magically. Is that too much to ask?
2. I sometimes think that cheese and crackers are an acceptable dinner (when Gabe's not home).
3. I also like Barry Manilow as well as Kenny Rogers, The Carpenters, Gordon Lightfoot, Jay & The Americans, I could go on for days.
4. I get irrationally upset when there's a change in my routine. Routines are important to me.
5. I've been known to eat copious amounts of ice cream/candy/sweets and hide the evidence from my husband (only to confess later).

This is a great post! It's so nice to learn more about the bloggers and I could have just stopped at # 1 b/c i feel the exact same way. Sometimes I am so busy blogging I don't make it to the gym...not good! And thanks for your very sweet comment on my last post. :)

I can't believe he'll be the only one without a cell. That is so depressing! And 74 cookbooks - WOW! Come to think of it, I've never actually counted mine.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit brain dead and in pain to come up with any confessions, but I will!
I am laughing out loud! Nothing lese to say because I am still laughing !
