Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Let's do lame-ass confessions! It should be fun and decidedly un-serious!

Things that you do/like that are just really corny/dorky and would make everyone else point at you and go "Haha!  Loser!" image

I'll start.  There is a series of semi-comedic vampire romance novels that I read that I love, even though it feels like the same story over and over again.  I've put them on the bookshelf so the pages are facing out instead of the spine and you can't tell what they are unless you pull them out and turn them around.

Re: Let's do lame-ass confessions! It should be fun and decidedly un-serious!

  • I'm afraid to sleep alone in the dark.  When I travel, I leave the bathroom light on and/or the TV (depending on how tired I am).

    And if FI is out late, I'll bring DD in bed with me.  Because, you know, she can protect me from monsters Confused

  • Loading the player...
  • I keep a life list of all the birds I've ever seen - probably a normal activity for a 65 year old man but not so much a 31 year old woman.
  • I have over 40 mint-in-box 1980's Cabbage Patch Kids dolls in my attic.
  • I absolutely cannot have sexy time unless I'm ladyscaped. And yes, I will excuse myself to use the bathroom and do a last-minute cleanup job if i have to.
  • I have to sleep on the side of the bed that is closest to the door.  Partly because I pee often at night, but also because if someone breaks in, I want to be the first out the door to my girls' rooms.  DH can beat the intruder up with our tennis racket.
  • I like to mix different types of cereal together to create a "new" cereal.  My favorites are Cinnamon Life & Kix, Honey Bunches of Oats & Kashi Honey Almond Flax, and Strawberry Special K & Multi Grain Cheerios.

  • When I'm home alone cooking I like to pretend I'm a famous chef with my own cooking show. I'll talk through the recipe to my "audience" (usually my dog or the baby) as I'm adding ingredients, mixing, etc. I'll even throw the occasional "Bam!" in there.
  • I'm afraid to stand near the bed in the dark. I always imagine something grabbing me and pulling me under.

    I also can't sleep if any part of my body, even a finger, is hanging over.

    I can't sleep with socks on.

  • I am completely addicted to Harry Potter and have been to three conventions.
  • I color coordinate Lil's onesies, DH's shirts and my clothes in the closet.  It makes me insane if a purple is next to a green...

  • I still sleep with my Pound Puppy.  He goes on any and all overnight trips with me.  I am seriously dependent on him.

  • This is going exactly to plan!  Keep 'em coming!

    I think I posed this in FFFC once.  I wrote a boy band fanfiction when I was 14 or 15 that I think is still online somewhere.  I will NEVER show it to anyone.  It's so stupid and totally Mary Sue-ish.  I laugh hysterically at myself now.

    You are offically my new hero and I want to hang out with you.  Where are said conventions?  And shall we go to the Hogwarts Theme park opening together?!

  • I absolutely cannot sleep if there is anything covering my feet. It can be the dead middle of winter and my feet need to be out from under the covers. 

    And I will never understand why anyone likes to eat oysters. They feel like a big wad of snotty mucous in your mouth.

    This.  Especially the "BAM!" part.  :::snort:::

     Me too!  Freaks me out!  But I like to sleep with socks on.

  • I am afraid of trhe dark. If I ever get up to pee in the middle of the night, I practically run out of the bathroom after I flush the toilet. I'm afraid that the noise will summon whatever monsters are hiding around my house. I also hate walking past mirrors when the house is dark, thank you Poltergeist 3!

    I also cannot sleep with socks on.

    I cry if I have to touch raw poulty (makes for an awesome Thanksgiving, since I host!).

  • I swore I was going to be this huge star when I was younger so I used to write songs and make my little cousins sing to them.

    OMG I do this too. (except for the Bam! part. LOL) And its my lame confession because I didn't even remember that I do it until you mentioned it cause I don't think it's lame. I used to do my homework like that as a kid. Where everything I did I was "teaching" my class how to do it. It helped me remember it so much easier! 

  • I absolutely can not sleep without full bottomed undies on. Not nude, no thong, all out grannies. Oh and along those lines the one word that makes my skin crawl is...::ugh::..."panties." I'd honestly rather hear the OTHER p word. Why? No idea.

    I've been to Lumos in LV, Phoenix Rising in NO, and Portus in DFW. DH was dragged along to all three and he so lovingly put up with my cosplay and acting like a 13yr old. But, he wouldn't let me name DS Sirius. boo

    And I've been squeeing like a fat kid after a cupcake for the new Universal addition! We're planning a massive trip down there when we can save up some money. We must go together! I welcome all HP fanatics!

    I have a really cheesy HP fanfic online somewhere, too. I just might go look it up now...

  • I have to sleep with covers on my butt. Even if I am hotter than heck, the comforter HAS to be over my butt :)
  • I watch the Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation.  Religiously. 
    I HAVE CHILDREN.
  • When I eat Lucky Charms cereal, I eat all the "luckys" first, and save the marshmallow yumminess for the end!

     

  • I eat my food in groups. Veggies first, then the starch/carb, then the meat. And I can not drink while eating, it has to be at the end of the meal.

    It drives me bonkers that after almost every bite my DH drinks a sip of whatever. 

    I bite the inside of my left cheek - bad bad habit that could totally lead to mouth cancer. I need to break it.

    When meeting someone - I always check out their teeth, inside their ears, their nails and their shoes.

    I also have always had horrible posture. I've contemplated multiple times walking around the house with a book on my head to teach myself to stand up straight. I don't want to have a hunch back when I'm older.

    Ok.  Between this and the HP fan fiction.  You are my new e-bff whether you like it or not.

  • I am a compulsive underwear changer.  Every time I change my clothes, I change my undies.  No "need" to...I just do it.

    I do not let DH get into bed until I have straightened out the sheets, blankets, etc.  Yet, I never make the bed.

    I'm going and I'm dressing up!  You will have to let me know if you make it.

  • I've watched the entire series of Golden Girls.  And Little House on the Prairie.  Every.single.episode.  Three times.  Embarrassed

    This is my husband.  I'm not sure if he has a specific order, but he eats all of one thing before he moves on to the next.  He also really doesn't like his food to be touching.  Too bad they don't make the kiddie-style separated dishes in our dinnerware pattern... or maybe it's a good thing.

    Can I hang out with you guys? My sister asked me what I do now that the books are finished and there is only one more movie. I told her I'm going to go work at the theme park so I can still  get my fix.

  • It really creeps me out when I floss my teeth (I can't stand anything in between my teeth). I do it everyday, but I have to give myself a little pep-talk in the mirror before I can finish the task. I have to psych myself up before I can break the floss off of the container. Lame, I know haha. 

    I listen to Christmas music in the summer...

    When I was younger I had an unhealthy obsession with Barbie. I still have about 30 "collectible" Barbie dolls that are in our basement. I also contemplated doing a "Barbie" themed toddler room for Libby, but that was nixed by DH and his hating the color pink.  

     

  • i like the song "party in the usa" by miley cyrus.

    **runs out of thread ashamed.

    Of course you can come! But, I would work there for free.

    And bring my own costume. Stick out tongue

  • I can't have a mirror in my bedroom because of the bloody mary story I heard in 4th grade.
