everyone has a secret.

Sometimes I wish our life was very different.

Sometimes I wish things would never change.

Sometimes I wish to go back in time and do things differently.

Sometimes I wish I could jump ahead and just peek at the future.

Sometimes I wish I could be more daring. Less inhibited in certain ways.

Sometimes I wish I could keep my mouth shut.

Sometimes I wish I could wave a magic wand and make everything better for everyone. No, I always wish that.

Love to you! I hope you enjoyed my confessions this week! Share yours if you dare.

self timer.

So, me and Miles were playing around with the self-timer setting on the camera the other day and now anytime I go to take his picture he points to the mantle and says "Table! Table!" He won't let me take a picture of him unless we use the self-timer! So funny! He loves to see the flashing green light and hear the beeping! My baby.

I thought this little tidbit would go perfectly with today's confession...

I LOVE HAVING MY PICTURE TAKEN!!!

I'm sure some people think I'm vain for feeling this way but those of you who know me understand that, sadly, the opposite couldn't be more true. But I don't know why I just love being in front of the camera! My inner DIVA  comes out!

for wednesday.

A little confession really quick on this early early Thursday morning. (So, early in fact that I'm gonna call it wednesday.)

Ahem...

I REALLY REALLY wanted a nose ring for a while when Drew and I were in the band. LOL Thank you to my sweet sweet MIL for talking me out of it!

(Ah, these pictures bring a smile to my face! See my handsome hubby drumming his heart out? Hot. That was the best part of being in the band.)

Join the fun! Only a couple days left to spill your guts!!!

Hoping you still love me after this weeks over!

three months sober.

Thanks for voting! And while those of you who guessed gossiping and talking with my mouth full are correct in a way... I do have those horrible habits but I have yet to conquer them... As far as the swearing goes, eh I tried that for a couple months, just wasn't me. Swear words sound absolutely ridiculous coming outta my mouth! (not to mention they're not very lady-like ) So, without further adieu...

The correct answer is...

Thumb Sucker. I was a 26 year old thumb sucker! Ha! I can not even believe I just typed that! I'm just letting it all hang out for you guys! But hey, I conquered it over 3 months ago so YAY for me!

I tried so many times before to quit but like any bad habit the thumb called to me.
When I was stressed. Tired. Hungry. Just before bed. On long car rides. On short car rides. It was bad. And its not like cigarettes or alcohol. You can't just throw away your thumb. It's attached! Not that I'm justifying my childish behavior or down playing how extremely hard it is to quit smoking or drinking! But seriously, this was my Everest!

The worst was trying to go to sleep at night. Man I nearly went crazy with insomnia. It took about 6 weeks before I could go an entire day w/no "cravings."

Wow! I'm a mess. But hey, it's over now and I'm never going back. I really don't want Miles to be embarrassed of his thumb sucking mama. I'm sure he'll find plenty other reasons to be ashamed of me! (please god not mom jeans. never mom jeans.)

So there ya have it. My big secret. Well, one of them. ( A girl's gotta have a few secrets right?) I think that's quite enough for today.

Oh! Check back tomorrow and take a gander at what we turned this beat up old ladder into!!!
