Ok, I'll play along.
I pile too and hoard as well. I have all 10 of Meg Cabot's "Princess Diaries" books. I still watch Ally Mcbeal reruns (actually I have it on DVD and can watch it over and over and still cry when billy dies) |

I tell my husband I'm scrapbooking anytime I'm on the computer when mostly I'm reading the boards or on facebook
I drink 88oz of diet coke almost every day! I have more craft supplies than I'll ever have time to complete, but I continue to shop and read blogs for inspiration on new things! - Oh and I DVR Days of our Lives too! |

these are funny!
I'll admit that...... I'm obsessive. I am with everything in my life. I worry about what other people think, even if I act like I don't and I will compete in anything, even if I don't want the prize |

ummm....let me see.....
I hide food around the house. Sometimes I don't even eat it, I just don't let everyone else eat it. I am totally addicted to iced tea from McDonald's. If we are out I make up some reason I have to have some right then. I have only gotten gas like 1 time ever. Even when I wasn't married I would meet someone at the gas station who would pump it for me. Now Garret always does it. Sometimes my parents do. lmbo |

oooh! Me eeee tooo! I never make calls. I talk to my mom and my sister but that's it. I hate talking on the phone. Garret got tired of it recently and told me I had to order the pizza, so I just ordered it online.

I could care less what state of disarray my house is in. My mom was a clean freak and drove us nuts with her anal ways-so I made a vow long ago that as long as we are all happy that I could really care less how big of a mess our house is. Drives my mom NUTS-I have to admit that even at 37-I get some weird satisfaction over her disapproval.
We have passed on many chances to own a bigger house because I like having us all living on top of each other-thankfully we all feel the same way. I appear to be way more put together to the outside world than I really am. I really just have to add one more... I am a HUGE flirt...like HUGE-my husband says if you leave me alone with a member of the opposite sex for over 5 minutes I can make him do whatever I want...he seems rather proud of this character trait of mine...haha.

LOL! Well, I was talking to Garret's gma and she said she hasn't gotten gas in over 50 years! LOL! Grandpa always does it for her. lol! So I am apparently not alone, which is good to know!
We only have one car, so if Garret is at work I can't go anywhere anyways...lol |

Whenever DH asks me how much money I spent on something I always round down ...so if I spent 99 dollars I tell him 90 lol..I have no idea why I think that matters but it makes me feel like I didn't spend as much! lol
I once sat on the kitchen table for 2 hours with Avery until DH got home b/c I thought I saw a snake under a newspaper in our living room..turns out it was just a belt!

I don't fold laundry or make beds either, lol.
I'm a horrible eavesdropper!! Like baaaaaddd. When we go out to dinner we usually don't converse very much because I'm too busy listening to the conversations going on around me. Sometimes I catch myself wanting to add my own little bit of advice/opinions/thoughts to other people's conversations. My kids make their own breakfast almost daily and unless it's candy or pop/soda.. I rarely object. They often make sandwiches for breakfast, pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles, etc. I'm a digi scrap hoarder!! I have stuff in my collection from WAY back when Gina Miller was at Scrapbook-Bytes that I just cannot bring myself to delete.

I use fowl language around my kids WAY TOO MUCH...but figure I am a sailor, so I am excused 3. I try not to have my kids have sleepovers because I alawys feel like my house is not clean enough and don't want to kids to think it's a pig sty! and really, it isn't that bad we just don't have enough space for 6 people in a 1200 sq foot house! {we live in gov't housing} I have to add one more.....DH and I are both computer addicted...when we get home, I get on my laptop, he gets on his desk and we ask the kids what movie they want to watch {but I do make sure they get feed and baths in between!} |

I have about 50 in my collection and still going strong. 3. I am an organization freak!! Everything has to be organized and put into plastic bins! If they aren't, I can't stand it. LOL |

I'm also an incredible piler. I am NEVER 100% free of piles. I figure that this is a step up from when I was a kid and my sh*t would be all over the floor. Baby steps. During "The Great Craft Reorganization of 2010" I kept moving piles to different places while I rearranged things, instead of just going through them and putting things away throwing things out. But at least my piles are only in my craft space, lol. Small victories right? I hate doing laundry, and putting it away. But when it comes out of the dryer I fold it downstairs and then bring the laundry basket up. Then I live out of the clean basket. Jordan HATES IT. I also forget that I put laundry wash until I'm going to bed. And I don't care if the dryer keeps my BIL awake downstairs. I have more craft stuff than I could ever hope to use (both IRL, and digi). But I HATE getting rid of stuff. I have boxes of things downstairs in the laundry room, just to satisfy Jordan's need for the area to be cleaner (see above - piling). Despite this, anytime I'm in a craft store, I buy more stuff. Even if it's just 1 more thing, it's 1 more thing that I rarely need. And I can ALWAYS justify it.

This is the BEST THREAD EVER - It is making me feel so NORMAL!!!!
Besides all the ones you mentioned...... 1. I have to watch cartoons to sleep - Preferably boomerang .... If we travel or have to stay in a hotel, I DVR cartoons, like Johnny Quest, Scooby Doo and watch them DVR on the computer 2. Hotels give me the heevie jeevies. I think about all the dirty people who slept in the bed and it makes my skin crawl. I bring my own blankets and pilows and sleep above the covers... I also check by the wall for bed bugs ... I blame 20/20 for their coverage of nasty hotel rooms and black light discoveries. This makes my hubbie laugh. 3. I think I am secretly a hippy... I would totally be ok with NEVER shaving again, eating products only from stores like Whole Foods and not wearing makeup or jewelry. As well as having nothing but ugly German shoes in my closet. And maybe just a little bit of a socialist. This goes against all the beliefs of not only my family my uber conservative, friends as well. (military life!) oh ya and..... I secretly LOVE Teenie Bopper books my daughter reads - Like I have the Poison Wood Bible on my nightstand and just went out and bought the Lightning Thief, so I would read it before the movie - I love it so much more - Also just finished GONE and Blue Bloods .... Its pretty sad! |

I wash, fold, and put away laundry almost every single day. I can't stand laundry in my hamper. I'm wicked OCD about this. When I come home from a trip, I unpack and put away everything immediately, and start the laundry.
All my beds are made up, pillow shams, throw pillows and all by 8 am every single morning. I have a super strict routine in the house, or I can't function. Skating days make me crazy because I'm not here to do dinner time. I will drink diet pepsi at any time during the day. Or night. I drink probably 4-6 cans a day. Like Stephanie, I LOVE real life crime shows. I watch A&E almost ALL DAY every day! I swear a lot I speed all the time when I'm driving. If the speed limit is 100 km/h, I figure I can go 120 at the least. I cannot get my vehicle to go the speed limit. If it's 50, I go 60. I am addicted to FarmVille. I avoided that game for 2 years, I just started back in December, and I can't stop playing it! I own a Slap Chop

I have the mouth of a sailor (and I'm not a sailor so I can't use that excuse ).
I probably have some form of ADD. I can never just sit down, and do something from start to finish.

1. I am a flaming liberal. I have a lot of Facebook friends who are staunch conservatives and they keep sending me invites that make me bark out loud. I keep contemplating posting a status that says, "Hey guys, I support gay marriage, and think Obama is amazing. So no more of those Sarah Palin for President group requests, OK?" but it seems a little rude.
2. I have been working with a person I strongly dislike for 2.5 years now. I have pretended for those 2.5 years to really like her and agree with her, etc. because when you are on her bad side, it's really, really bad. Hateful, even. She had no idea how I felt.... until last Wednesday morning when I finally let it rip. My work life is not fun right now. I am able to do my job in a way I haven't in the last few years, but I am very much persona non grata. My boss supports me, though. I don't think I could have done it if I hadn't known that not only was I right, but that she'd support me. I have to meet with this person alone on Wednesday morning (regularly scheduled meeting, every week) and I am almost making myself sick thinking about it. 3. I'm afraid of fish. Be they live or dead, I'm scared of them. At our Wal-mart, my dog's food is across from the fish tanks. I hate getting it. Run in, grab it, get back out. 4. I've never drank coffee. I have maybe had one glass of hot chocolate. The idea of drinking something hot skeeves me out. Now pop... easily 4-6 a day. I drink caffeinated until about 3pm, then switch to decaf for the evening. Nonnie, have you read "The Hunger Games"? My 13 y.o. gave it to me and I loved it. Great book! |

These are great!
1.) I hate talking to people on the phone and sometimes even IRL...if it can't be done by e-mail or over the internet my hubby has to take care of it. I wont even make doctors appointments or order a pizza. 2.) Sometimes when my inlaws take the kids so I can have a design work day...I sit around in my sweats and read and watch movies. 3.) Since I am trying to lose weight, I have a set calorie limit; so sometimes I workout extra just so I can eat "bad" foods. |

OMGosh me too!! I dont mind talking on the phone if I know the person but if it is a stranger or if I have to call to make an appt or order pizza or something I avoid it at all costs. Usually have my husband call for me.

I'm afraid of the dark and have to have a nightlight.
I sometimes skipped sentences when reading aloud to my son at bedtime so I could get him into bed faster - he can read now so that no longer works. Quote:
I also don't like to talk on the phone with strangers - I loved it when I found that I can order Papa John's on-line. I hate public speaking and ended up with a job where I have to talk in front of groups. |

Well after Cindy's suggestion to come read this thread, I apparently need to make 3 confessions of my own...
1) I LOVE iCarly and I'll go a step further to say I think I'm developing a crush on Carly's brother Spencer - he is so oddly hot. 2) I cant keep clothes on my kids and I secretly think it's genetic because I hate wearing pants, especially undies when I am just sitting around at home. 3) Selena Gomez' album is probably playing on my ipod WAAAAAAY too often lately. 4) I too am laundry challenged. I'll wash and fold and then leave piles of folded clothes sitting in my living room without putting them away for days at a time. Sometimes too, I stop in the middle of "doing laundry" and leave clothes just sitting in the washer or dryer until I get motivated to start again when I have to wash and "fluff" the loads over again. What a waste of energy. 5) Finally, this one is a really deep dark confession - I have a level 53 mage - nuff said. Ok so I couldnt stop at 3 - guess I needed to get some things off my chest. R

I'm a huge sucker for mindless reality tv. I started watching Jersey Shore on Friday and I liked it so much I watched the whole season. I have huge frustrations with my lack of a career. I never in a million years thought I'd go from graduating from college with honors to being a housewife. I honestly hate going to events where I get asked "so what do you do?" or "what have you been up to?" because I feel like the biggest loser in the world for not having something cool to say. *sigh**cue mid-life crisis at the tender age of 27* |

O Lord..here we go!
1. I never iron, but I would rather go nude than wear an article of clothing with a wrinkle in it. I will start the dryer 5 times if I think the clothes aren't wrinkle-free enough or if I forgot to get them out in time for the buzzer. The clothes MUST be hot and still nicely free of wrinkles before I take them out. 2. I am totally happy living out of a laundry basket. I hate using chest of drawers and I usually just keep the clothes I wear most in the nearest basket so they are easily accessible. 3. I can drink infinite amounts of water from the bottle, but I cannot drink the same amount of water from a cup. Something about knowing exactly how much I am drinking and seeing the empty bottles that makes it seem worth the effort for me. LOL 4. I cannot watch a movie alone. If my husband doesn't want to watch something with me, the thrill is gone. It seems worth the time to sit and watch if we are doing it together. There's something about sharing every experience with him that I am obsessed with. 5. I watch close to 20 episodes of Roseanne reuns per week. 6. I drive very fast. If the speed limit is 70, I go at least 85. Oh, and I've only had my license for 1 year and 3 months. And..I'm 30. 7. I am overwhelmed very easily. If I feel like I am not able to give 100% to something, I get so discouraged and I feel anxious. Such a curse. There are so many more, but...I guess this is enough for now!

you girls are cracking me up! and you are all seriously sick in the head. i didn't relate to one single one. (*cough* i'm a liar *cough*)
1. i am a compulsive windex user. i use it on everything. it's an illness. (omg. i'm going to poison my family.) 2. i've lied about my kids age before when getting into disneyland to save the $20. (omg. i'm going to prison.) 3. every blue moon, i pawn my children off on my parents so dennis and i can go out and eat yummy food. we feed them sandwiches and soup before we go. (omg. i'm going to hell.) 4. i'm a flaming right-winger. i want to get a permanent sign in my front yard that says "capitalism is practiced here". (omg. i rock.) LMAO!!! 5. i use the word "douchebag" far too frequently. Last edited by lizzyfizzy; 01-25-2010 at 04:21 AM. |

lizzie your lawn sign made me laugh. i love capitalism too. i'm really NOT a strong right winger in a lot of respects. but i do LOVE capitalism, a lot. If i could, i'd marry "the man" and we would have little corporate babies :P
also, I love protein, like i think that protein is the most important thing possible when it comes to eating, and i'm very defensive of meat... i actually got into a fight with a vegetarian today. really. (i feel bad about it too, maybe all this meat is giving me TOO much umph) man, i sound like an old man from the fifties, give me capitalism and a steak please - rare. :P i could confess so much more, but i'm soooo too grumpy to get into it! also now i'm hungry and thinking about shopping.... |
