These are my Confessions

Why yes, I did listen to Usher while writing this!

~In the seventh grade, I owned a pair of those huge, wide-legged jeans. Remember? Jnco jeans? Like these:

Except I didn't look nearly as cool as this girl does. 

I also may have walked a certain way when wearing them to make the legs flap. Like a giant, dorky flag.

(PS I found this picture on a vintage clothing website. Since when were awful 90s jeans vintage?)

~Ok. So whenever I'm in the car, listening the radio, the volume has to be a certain way. It has to be either on an even number, or a multiple of 5. 

Here's an example: If I'm listening to my fave Beyonce song, and I want to turn it up to rock out, I have to turn it up to 20. If 20 is too loud, I can turn it down to 18, but 19 is off limits. 

I'm not even going to talk about if the volume goes by something other than numbers. There are rules there too.

~For about 2 years, I forgot how old I was. I actually had to add up the years in my head. And those of you who understand my math skills know that that took a long time, and I was still wrong half the time.

~I had Dr. Pepper for breakfast today. And I have no regrets.

~I've never really been a catty girl. 

But there was a group of girls who were really mean to me in high school. Really mean. And the Regina George of their little posse happened to have a big crush on Brandon back then. 

I married him, and have 2 beautiful babies, and look super hot these days. She has a beer gut and is still living in high school. 

I would never say these things to her face, but I am real snotty to her in my head.

~I still read primarily young adult fiction. Yes, teenager books. I've found that fiction directed towards adults is either boring or inappropriate.

I just finished this last night: 

"Daughters of the Sea tells the story of 3 mermaid sisters who are separated at birth by a storm and go on to lead three very different lives. Book 1 is about Hannah, who spent her early days in an orphanage and is now a scullery maid in the house of a rich, powerful family. She is irresistibly drawn to the sea and through a series of accidents and encounters, discovers her true identity. Hannah realizes that she must keep the truth a secret but she also knows that soon she will have to make the choice - to be a creature of the land or the sea."

And I liked it! It was an easy read, and fun to imagine becoming a mermaid. 

~There. I said it. I still like the thought of being a mermaid.
