Secular Confessions

[3andMe]

Jenny, that's tough, and I totally agree with your advice to dh.

I confess I had a crazy pregnancy dream last night. I was giving birth in the process of moving into a mobile home in the woods. But we were flying to move and a bunch of APA ladies were on the plane with me and started talking about seeing people give birth and like three were saying how they had seen a giraffe being born. It was so weird. giraffes...

[The10Eels]

I confess... I just met Sunrider and Tredhead.. and adorable baby Liam!

Be jealous! Be VERY Jealous!!

I confess that we got some bad news last night. Our next door neighbor is dying of bone cancer. He had liver cancer a few years ago, actually recieved a liver transplant, did chemo, radiation, the whole 9 yards, and 2 weeks ago had to have a PET scan which is typical for cancer patients. Well he just got the news that it has metastasized in his bones. He is in a lot of pain. He is such a nice guy. The same age as my parents (57) and is my dh's best friend. He is deeply religious and came over last night and I was cleaning up the kitchen and the trio were doing an art project at the counter, so I couldn't really get into the conversation, but I could hear him and dh talking about religion and our neighbor is deeply religious and he kept going on about Jesus and God and this morning my dh told me he's very uncomfortable with Steve now b/c we do not believe in Jesus/God and dh doesn't know what to tell Steve. I told him to tell Steve that he's glad he can find comfort in his god, and then just offer to be supportive. Offer to mow his lawn, walk his dogs, whatever. I don't think you need to share religious beliefs in order to be a good friend. Sigh.

That is good advice

[The10Eels]

As you saw, I'm not very tall... and holding the pants up with the legs just skimming the ground, the waist band hit me right across the chest.. lol DH laughed and said I could wear them like those super high waisted jeans that were so in recently...

[AlishaAnew]

It does help. I was honestly crazy busy this weekend (silly camp alllllll the next 2 weeks). We should plan something. . .SOON! Even if the babies stay home with daddies and we go get dinner.

We sure DO!

Thanks for the good luck vibes!! and HA! I WISH! about Audri staying home with DH... It takes all hes got to watch her while I run downstairs to start laundry... I cringe to think of what I would come home to after going to dinner! lol but yes.. we do need to get together!

I confess I just realized after I don't know how long... six months maybe? that I had entered the babies' birthday wrong in the ticker and it was off by two days. I am terrible at birthdays and I have to really concentrate to remember if they were born on July 26th or 28th (I get confused because dh is the 28th of January, and it took me 8 years to remember his birthday and I still have to look at my calendar to make sure). Neither of us remember our anniversary.

Hopefully I'll remember their birthday when it counts. This is embarrassing.

Jealous of APA meet-ups, but hoping to have one myself with Stash and Oscar when they're in town this week.

Thinking Evie is just WAY too cute! I love that picture.

Congrats to Alisha for quitting smoking. That is incredibly difficult and the best thing you'll ever do for yourself and for Evie.

I was going to say this in another thread you posted in but I LOVE your new siggy pic!!!!
I have never seen mountains IRL. That is now a goal in life for me.

[daylilies]

You guys who have never seen mountains totally need to do that. It's breathtaking. I actually haven't been out to see any in a while. Must do that.
Jenny, good luck with your new bc plan!

Oops. I confess I didn't remember what pants were in there other than the capris.
Maybe attack them with a pair of scissors?

I confess I mix up the 26th and 29th of Sept in my head all the time - one is my dog's birthday - she'll be 10 years old this year - the other is the date that TredHed proposed to me. Wearing a kilt, on one knee, in the Royal Gardens at the KC Renaissance Festival in 2002. It's an important date to me - you'd think I could remember which it happened on. I have to go back and look at a 2002 calendar to see which date fell on a Saturday to figure it out.

Ditto the Congrats, Alisha, on quitting smoking. I remember seeing your ticker yesterday and thinking "wow, they make tickers for everything! how cool is that!". I've never been a smoker, but have seen how difficult it can be to quit. My cousin tried 3 times and still may not be successful. My mother quit cold turkey after more than 25 years - and never picked up another one.

You can do it!

[sunrider]

Wahh it sucks no one is near me I like my awesome secular mamas!!!

If only we could have a Secular Mamas Convention . . . That would be awesome.

They were some really cute Old Navy dress pants - one brown pair, and one grey pair..

MIL is going to hem them for me! lol...

That would be like HEAVEN!

I confess ahhhhhhhh! I am back from round one of camp and going back for more! only 9.5 days left. . . .

I confess I am paying dearly this week for last weeks laziness. Yes, its only Monday, but I've been hopping between getting my house looking perfect so it can get appraised at the highest possible price, planning my 10 year reunion and there are things that HAVE to get done NOW, and trying not to get caught up in wanting to think about Vegas... 'cause really, that's all I want to do.

^that is what I like to call a run on... Eat it up grammar police!!!

[The10Eels]

I confess I am so jealous of your trip to Vegas Erin...

I confess I just spent the last hour laughing my arse off at the families on Wife Swap!

[Ky'sMom]

I confess that i have been gone out of town for 4 days picking up my nephew and am too lazy to go back and read all the confessions I missed since I'm not feeling to well because of allergies that I always seem to get when travelling.

I confess that on our road trips, DH and I usually listen to conservative talk radio so we can have a good laugh at the lies and crazy that some of the hosts spew. One kept talking about how sick it was that "the media" was focusing so much attention on Michael Jackson's death and not speaking of major issues facing congress, yet his whole show was about Michael Jackson and people calling in to complain about it, so IMO he was the same as "the media."

I confess my favorite part of the show was when they were speaking about Obama and said he's a hypocrite and an undercover agnostic since he doesn't go to church anymore now that he's become president. I hope it's true.
