Innocent Confessions?

Maddie · Coach

-Today I really wanted a donut but didn't want to be seen carrying it around the dining hall so I put it in my pocket. Then I didn't finish it and I didn't want to be seen putting it on the conveyor belt that takes away the trays so I put it under the table.

-I went on a road trip last weekend and ate nothing but fastfood all weekend. Literally, nothing.

-I'm wearing Uggs, no makeup, jeans, a college sweatshirt and messy hair right now.

-I stole pot from my roommate. She was being a bitch and totally deserved it.

I'll try to think of more.

-im wearing a cowl neck sweater that has a hole in it

-i dont know how to swim

Christine · Coach

-I love my FH to death, but sometimes I'm happy when he works late (til nearly midnight) because it means I can just eat cereal for dinner and watch HGTV and SATC reruns as much as I want!

-I can't stand this particular guy I work with, but I am always polite enough and always professional when I talk to him. Well, he sits across the hall from me, facing away, so I sometimes give him the finger and make faces at his back.

1. I've felt really icky for the past couple days, and the only thing that sounds good is Salt & Vinegar potato chips and chocolate chip pecan cookies. Of course now I feel sick because I've been eating crap on an otherwise empty stomach.

2. FH's friend is coming over for dinner tonight and I'm not looking forward to it: He's bringing his new super-hot and very tall Brazilian girlfriend that barely speaks any English. See #1 and #3 for why this sucks even more than it normally would.

3. I have no desire to shower today, so instead I'm posting on ST while wearing my PJs and a clay mask on my face.

4. I have had a wedding nightmare almost every night for the past month. Though they have dropped off significantly since we switched locations, I had a particularly bad one 2 nights ago involving me having to fly to Portland to confront the coordinator at the old location to get our money back .

To sum it up, I'm sick, doudy, dirty and sleep-deprived

Maddie, your donut story cracked me up! It's totally something I would do!!

I watched My Fair Brady last night. I'm so embarrassed.

I hate my MIL's cooking. Whenever we visit, she insists that we take all kinds of food home with us. Rather than make a big deal about not wanting it, I take it and give it to a homeless person on the way home.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

You girls are hilarious!

I don't have good ones that I can think of but...

At work we cannot have food outside the lunchroom but I bring cookies, chips, bottled lemonade, you name it, I'm eating it! I don't know why I get so hugry at work! Probably just the fact that I can't eat when I want to.

I was asked to come into work today but I said I couldn't since I would be busy painting and moving into my house. I'm still sitting on my ass in my pajamas!

This was a while back but in school, me, my sister, and our friends used to draw caricatures of our classmates and put word sayings with them! (We kept them to ourselves, no feelings hurt!)

Lilykind · Hermes

In high school, I would write witty sayings on the bulletin board (it was cork) by my desk (my desk was against the wall) and doodle. I got pissed when people scratched them out so I would rewrite them...this went on for my whole sophomore year.

I didn't bring in my lunch today...I have like 15 Lean Cuisines in my freezer to be eaten, but today seems like a day to go to Wahoo's or McDs for lunch. I need to take advantage of the fact that I'm going to be out of the office for part of the day because I have a doctor's appointment. What's an extra 15 minutes?

jacL · Coach

I just made instant mashed potatoes with [fat free] sweetened condensed milk mixed with water because I am out of milk. They turned out ok...but a bit sweet!

Shit, now I just realized there is a no-milk version listed on the back of the box!

my armpits stink and I have class tonight after work, so no time to wash up or change

my homework still isn't done, and I don't feel like doing it now

I gained 10 pounds in the past 3 months and I feel like a fat ass. I just ordered a backup wedding dress in the next size- just in case. (And no, I'm not pregnant....although at this rate people will probably start thinking I am)

Luv2Shop · Kate Spade

As soon as I get home I get into my husbands huge sweat pants and a giant sweatshirt. I tell him it's cause I want to be cozy and cuddle in our pj's but it's really cause I want to hide my fat!!

I job hunt on the internet like A LOT at my job.

I can't even finish one whole cheeseburger for dinner but you can be sure I have room for dessert.

* I'm cleaning out my closet & I really don't want to part with a terrible disco shirt that I own
* Because I'm cleaning out my closet my kitten is going NUTS - meowing at me constantly & she is really on my last nerve. This is why I can't have real kids
* My husband is getting a bonus Friday so i've been spending money like we already have it - this has resulted in me having $56 in my checking acct.

(2 bills paid early - why oh why do i do this??)
*I cooked salmon for the first time ever Monday night & when I bought it I thought it was like buying catfish or something, so I got (and cooked) 3 pounds. That is A LOT of salmon. So we had salmon again last night & there is still leftovers.

Maddie - your pot theft is what is cracking me up

Maddie, your donut story is hilarious!!

- Yesterday I ate a whole bag of raspberry milanos for lunch. Damn...again! (though it hasn't happened for several months). But I figured "calories in vs. calories out" so I had a very small dinner and then worked in the yard for several hours. Hopefully I'm about even.

- I don't wear any eyeshadow (only mascara and liner) because I can
never figure out how to apply it without looking awful, and it always seems to fade quickly. I'm 38 and still can't do this.

- I can't kill bugs. I cannot use a shoe, broom, or what have you to actually *make* them be dead. I have to spray Raid on them and then leave the room because I can't stand to watch them die in agony. Then my husband has to remove them when he gets home.

That's all I've got right now...

I had a big Dr. Pepper float for lunch.

It burns me up to no end that my in-laws spend so much time giving their time and money to needy people in other countries and to poor inner-city kids but they hardly ever make time to come see their grandchildren. And they live in the next town over. And it's always on their terms. And I can't say anything at all because, as my husband puts it, "You have to take the good w/ the bad."

I once wrote a girl's name I didn't like on her desk in magic marker. She got in trouble. (this was in 2nd grade)

I scraped my hubby's new BMW against the curb and acted like I didn't know it happened.

I once saw my idiot neighbor fall off his ladder, but I ran inside the house before anyone knew I'd been outside and had seen him. He was fine. I was only 15, if that makes it justifiable.

In sixth grade, I typed a letter to my friend saying "Here's a list of all the people who hate you" and then proceeded to forge the signatures of all the popular people I could think of. She never knew I sent it. I told her I got a list of all the people who liked me.

theotherjess · Chanel

-I made a bad grade on a group project because this kid didn't do his stuff. I sort of yelled at him and now I feel bad . I was sort of in a bad mood and wasn't very nice today.

-I have yet to fill out a single scholarship application for college.

-I haven't been to the gym in three months.

-Lately I've been finding all these entertaining notes on the floor that I read to my friends. I bent down to pick one up today that was maybe a foot away from someone's backpack and I think it was their homework. It was folded up in a wad though, so I just threw it on the floor in the hallway outside the classroom when I realized it didn't have anything juicy in it .

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

I HATE cell phones!!

OMG, I so did that too. Only I also wrote her phone number. And when someone said they saw me do it and I got sent to the Dean, I denied it and he believed me because I was a good kid and she wasn't.

NCshopper · Hermes

My confessions:

I'm too lazy to add. Even small numbers that aren't hard. I still either a) use a calculator, b) use my fingers, or c) use this thing called a "Touch Point System" to add the numbers. I just added 35+16 using a calculator because I'm too lazy to do it in my head.
I ate apple pie for breakfast this morning.
I consistently let my gas tank go past the E before I fill it up again. The low gas light doesn't come on any more, so I know one of these days I'm going to be screwed, but I'm too lazy to fill up more often.
I hate HATE where we live. It's come to a head all of a sudden and I can't stand it here anymore. Although I love having a house, I'm feeling like it's a big burden right now because we can't just up and move.
I have $33 in my bank account today.

That reminds me of my biggest secret!!! I haven't even told my mom, and that is rare for me.

He doesn't even have it anymore but would be sooooo steamed if he knew this happened!!

I was backing out of the driveway one morning and I didn't even look behind me. I slammed into hubbys truck!! I swore the sound had to wake him, but it didn't! I think I hit his ball hitch cause he pulled in backward in back of me, so it did no damage to his car. I put a huge hole in the back bumber of my car! When I came home that night I told him someone hit me and run in my work parking lot!!!

How the story works out, a few weeks later I got rear ended and that and the damage from the hit were fixed at the cost of the person who rear ended me!!!

I don't know if I will ever tell him!!

Bastet · Kate Spade

Hhmmmm... nothing as amusing as Maddie's donut and pot theft.

I call in sick to go to job interviews.

I'm terrified of mascara and have never worn it, yet I stick contacts in my eyes every morning.

"The Ring" scared me so much that I had to unplug the TV to go to sleep the night I saw it. (I was in law school at the time, so prob. 22 years old).

In high school, I used my journalism pass to look up people's grades, especially if I didn't like them.

I accidentally said the f-word in front of my boss. Twice.
