Friend Makin' Monday: Spilling My Secrets

You may know that I am obsessed with making friends. Since I haven't been able to make as many here in Utah as I would like...I had to go to the next best place. The Internet! What a blessing to have all of my favorite people right here in my computer every day! My life would be super sad and lonely if not for the Web!

A bunch of my friends have been doing this Friend Making Monday thing and so I thought I should look into it. It is fabulous! Kacey at All That Is Good puts out a directive each Monday...it may be to answer a question, share a picture or a story. She is all about making friends and supporting each other. I love that!



What kind of friends would we be if we didn't confide our deepest darkest secrets with each other? My sister made the comment the other day that from my blog I sound like I have it all together. Well, do I have news for you!: I am so not!

So today's task is Confessions!

1. I have a weakness for Ice Cream and last week I ate an entire box of Lil Drumsticks (that's 10 cones) that are 140 calories a piece. 1400 calories.

2. I googled a bunch of old boyfriends recently.

3. My kids watch too much TV.

4. I am prescribed (because I need them) to 11 magazines and I just ordered another one.

5. I have recently become unorganized and it's driving me crazy yet I can't seem to catch up.

6. I recently threw away a bunch of my kids toys because I was tired of putting them away.

7. I hide candy from my family

8. I don't like Edward! *connie ducks*

9. I'm afraid of water (lakes, rivers, oceans).

10. I still want another baby....

By the way...something HUGE is going to announced here tomorrow....so you might want to follow my blog so you don't miss the announcement!

  1. I LOVE your list. I laughed at the google comment because I have done that before too. I also subscribe to multiple magazines and still want more, but hey, they are so cheap when you subscribe to them, it's worth it. And could your big announcement be about the Bachelorette? :) I heard through the message boards what the drama is going to be about :( I am hoping it is not true. They are saying one of the beau's (one of my FAVORITES) is going to leave, but might be coming back later. We'll see...... can't wait to hear your big announcement. :)

    Have a fabulous day!

    Oh, and PS: I hate Edward, too. :)

  6. Connie...dear....one of the few that comments on my blog regularly - I don't know about you - HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE EDWARD? How can his sparkly shinny self not make you swoon? *sigh*

    Oh - you added me to your blog roll - WOW! Just saw that. (I get side tracked easily - sorry)

    Hmm....I should do a confessions post - that sounds a LOT better than a weekend wrap up - Thanks a Bunch for the idea.

  7. I laughed out loud as I read this post because I have so many things in common with you!!!

    I have eaten way too much of MANY desserts! I have googled and in other ways searched for old boyfriends (no stalking, though). My kids watch too many movies. I have thrown toys away when I've gotten tired of picking them up. I hide candy from my family, and I do not like Edward either.

    Are you sure we're not twins separated at birth???

  8. I want another baby too! Is that your announcement? Maybe it has something to do with an ENTIRE BOX of Drumsticks!

    I don't really like Edward either. Only in the movie...kind of.

  9. Mini drumsticks? Oh..yummy! I am going to have to look for those. And I've totally done #2 also.

    Great list and Happy FMM! I'll tune back in tomorrow for your big announcement!

  10. Good list Connie! I google my old boyfriends all the time. It's just curiosity, right? I think you should have another baby if that's what you think your family needs. I love babies...

    Have a super day. I'm so glad you joined the party!

    XOXO

  11. Ahhhh, what no love for Edward! I can't get past that. Well, at least that's one less person I'll have to fight for his love! lol. Great list!

  12. I'm eating a bowl of ice cream as I type this. They were lil' drumsticks and I am guessing it wasn't all in one sitting (even if it was, don't tell us) I think it's fine.

    Your announcement. You ate at that Bistro on your latest trip to Denver... didn't you?

  13. We were so meant to "meet" through our blogs!!! We have so much in common...except I am not afraid of water (I actually think I may have gills! lol) and I haven't gotten in to Twilight so I can't say if I like Edward or not. But other than that...I could eat large amounts of ice cream at any one time, I receive more magazines in the mail than I care to admit, I have googled old boyfriends, I hide candy (but from the the hubs since I don't have kids), if I were able to have kids I know I would probably always want "just one more" and I also know I wouldn't be above tossing toys! :-)

    See? We were meant to be friends! :-)

  16. How do you read all of those magazines AND find time to blog AND be such an awesome mom?!

    You must have 30 hours in your day!!

    I've googled exes before...it's fun!

    I hope hubbys exes google him and see that he's married to me (oh yea, and that he's a doctor in psychology).

    And, who's Edward??

  17. Woohoo so excited to find out what you have to tell us tomorrow! Also, I have done that much eating in one sitting before. Actually my snacks ARE usually 1400 calories on a daily basis! LOL! :) Your list is great!

  22. Geez Bobbi! Don't get your panties in a wad! I didn't say that I HATE him...I just don't like him. He doesn't do anything for me.

  24. Ok, I have begun to warm up to Edward. Second viewing of the movie just last night..Give him time. My girlfriend and I realized we need the housewives (aka 30-something) version of twilight not the high school version.

    Love the list...

  25. you googled old boyfriends! I love it! and you ate all those ice creams?! that makes me feel better about the 3 sonic blasts! It's kind of nice to see that you're not alone on things you know? However- you don't like Edward?!!! I guess I'll let it slide and still be your friend! thanks for joining us! I love new friends!
