I admittedly don't take good photos and I know this place isn't a popularity contest but... I go back to HDBD to see how many people have liked DS photo. And it's usually not as many as the posts near by. And that makes me sad sometimes. And I then I feel unpopular.

this is why I don't post pics of DD anymore. Everyone else will have 36764314 likes and I have like 2.

Don't worry. Sometimes I compare how many likes my photos get compared to others too. And I notice some people hardly ever like my photos which makes me think they don't like me (which they probably don't)I like everyone's most times.
Along the same lines, My confession is that I've thought about making a poll to see if I am liked or not. Lol silly because not everyone has to like me and that's life. But it's nice to feel liked and accepted.
I like you! And you like my whipped cream recipe so that's makes you even cooler!
yeah, i will admit to being a bad "liker" of cute pics -- I rarely do it, just because I feel like all the pics are so cute it goes without saying. I like a lot of stuff when I agree with opinions or think something is funny though!
My husband went to go get KFC for lunch, I think for the New Years I am going to have clogged arteries.
I am secretly glad that Connor absolutely hates the 'annoying car' that SIL got him (to get back at my husband who bought her kids a car that didn't turn off years ago).
I know I have read this on here but I secretly dream of us giving our dog away. I love dogs but she is SO needy. She also has a really high level of anxiety. She rips things up when we are gone a few hours and pees on the floor when she meets new people. When we crate her at night she whines. It just gets old. And I think she would be less anxious if we walked her but I have other things to do with my time and frankly I don't want to. I kinda feel stuck with her now. I would never get rid of her for these reasons and I find myself liking her like 15% of the time. I just wish some nice person would adopt her though I know DH wouldn't stand for it. Oh and I am the only one who tries to train/discipline her. DH is TERRIBLE at doggy discipline. We've had her 5 years now and she has become more of a hindrance to me than something I enjoy. I feel bad even writing that and feel like a bad person for having these thoughts but these are my confessions...
1) I think every single one of the babies on A13 are ridiculously cute but when I look on other boards, all I can say is "they are dressed cute" or "they have cute headbands".
2) I get whiskers on my chin that I used to get when I was pregnant. I think I might be becoming a man.

Haha! I have one chin hair. I pluck it but it just keeps coming back. My h mocks me incessantly for it.

Nov siggy challenge: animals eating Thanksgiving food
Lots today:
- I haven't been bumping due to the holidays and literally having house guests every day for the past three weeks. My brother leaves Sunday and H and I get the house back.
- hemorrhoid surgery is The Worst. Don't do it. I remember my mom screaming from the bathroom every time she went for like a month after having the surgery when I was in high school. And I've had horrible hemorrhoid procedures too. I confess it's my "get out of jail free" card from ever having to try anal. Win.
- my tree is still up
- I bought a skirt this morning that I almost fit into because I know I'm still losing weight and will fit into it by vacation time
- a frame fell off our mantle this morning and shattered. I was secretly glad because now I get to switch up the art there now.
- there are (non-perishable) groceries in the trunk of my car from Wednesday because I've been too lazy to bring them in
I'm sure I'll think of more )
ETA- ugh, sorry for the horrible ipad formatting.

I never had a good excuse before, it was always "I just don't want to"
I confess that I am all too excited to have an excuse to get out of trying anal now.
Thank you so much @chicagobroad26 , I am forever indebted to you.
I confess I underuse the love it button with photos, but probably overuse it in other areas. It's my way of saying "I agree" without actually having to post anything.

I've had several surgeries in the past and never once had death even crossed my mind. I'm preparing for a huge surgery and all I can think of is dying. I don't want to leave my son motherless.
Someone posted this on my other BMB last week and the consensus seemed to be that they never go away without surgery. And all of those babies are now over two. This was not the news I wanted to hear.
@LibbyLouHoo your other BMB is still active?! That's amazing. Mine (June 2011) started sucking well over a year ago. Makes me sad. There were so many awesome ladies over there. They all ended up doing the Facebook thing and I just didn't....
I confess I acted like a 14 year old when I read the phrase "rectal surgeon"
I also confess that one time after DH and I had a go of it, I said "i wasn't a real big fan of that" He looked so confused. HE DIDN"T EVEN KNOW HE HAD GONE UP THE OTHER CHUTE!! How does that happen????!!!??

Thanks so much! I'm trying to but with each passing day it's getting harder! I meet with the surgeon on the 16th to schedule.
Dead Dead Dead @ChicagoBroad26@melissad23 both of those admissions are hilarious. I am literally sweating trying to contain my laughter at work. I don't know how to explain to the old bookkeeping ladies here in the office with me that i'm talking about anal on the internet.
@smiles21866 try not to feel that way because you'll only make yourself more anxious. I'll admit I was feeling that way when I got my tonsils pulled, especially after the Jahi McMath situation mentioned above. You've had plenty of surgeries before & just concentrate on the fact that you'll feel so much better .

Thank you it's always scary but I guess once you have kids, it gets scarier. On the positive side, I NEED to get better to be there for Alex! Eta:wording
I have another confession: I haven't had my hair cut since June. I've been coloring it at home thanks to the eleventy billion new post-baby grays I now have, and I'm embarrassed to go to the salon because I think I've been doing a crummy job coloring it.
In a parallel universe, pre -baby me is squirming with shame.
I've got you beat, I haven't cut my hair since the first week of April!! I really need to make time to do this!

And now I feel dumb for posting this. ">
I feel the same way
@jaime52005 I think it has a lot to do with what time of day you post on HDBD. If it's at the end of the post, I always notice way way fewer "love its." And I've noticed you're almost always posting at the end. FWIW I think your daughter is super dooper cute!! That hair and those cheeks!!! My goodness!!

I agree. The first page.. even the first half of a page has way more 'love its' than the next page and so on.
Also, I try to love everyone's pictures.. but if my internet is crapping out and if it keeps redirecting me to a different page I usually stop for a bit and try again when the internet is better.
I know I have read this on here but I secretly dream of us giving our dog away. I love dogs but she is SO needy. She also has a really high level of anxiety. She rips things up when we are gone a few hours and pees on the floor when she meets new people. When we crate her at night she whines. It just gets old.

I relate to this. Our cats and dog were our babies before our son was born, and now they are simply pets. And annoying ones at that.
#2: if I open the dishwasher after dinner (with clean dishes from yesterday) and see that there is still room for the new dirty dishes, I don't unload it and just rewash the clean ones along with the new dirty dishes.

I am also on the Downton Abbey boat. Yay!
Not sure if this counts as a confession, but I am also a member of the illustrious PPHC.
I found my first-ever gray hair, plucked it, and showed it to DH with a frantic "What color is this??" He thought it came from one of the dogs. Nope!
Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
