Here is my Confession…

Oh Saturday morning what you bring me…

1.  I live by the motto, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow…if it’s brown, flush it down.”  Saving the world one flush at a time.

2.  I love folding laundry, doing dishes and vacuuming.  It’s one of the most relaxing activities ever…and feels clean.

3.  I’m terrified to have children.

4.  I have over two dozen vegetarian cookbooks and have used approximately 1 out of every one…having owned them for years.

5.  I am still always worried about food.  Every.Single.Second.

6.  I won’t touch an unpeeled banana.  The texture totally creeps me out.

7.  I hate making dinner.  I think it’s the worst meal of the day.  Every meal should be breakfast.

8.  I have a faint obsession with smooth skin.  I go crazy when I get cut and have a scab/scar that prevents that.

Confession?  Let it out!!!

I wasn't terrified to have children until I had to babysit three yesterday and now I'm wondering why anyone would do it.

Kara said...

Having a kid isn't nearly as terrifying as I had thought. It so much different when it's your own.

I used to do the "if it's yellow let it mellow" rule, but my husband cannot stand it, so my marriage trumps my love of the environment :)

I also believe that yellow deserves to mellow. :) I have been teaching for 6 years and after my first year I began to have doubts about having children. Everyday I see first hand how much work it is to raise them. However, within the last two years I've started to go back to wanting children again.

I love cleaning on Friday nights (dork alert!) After a long week, it is very relaxing to clean up the house while jamming to some music.

Amen to the dinner comment! By that point in the day I am soo exhausted. I LOVE COOKING BREAKFAST though :)

Jenna said...

Children are terrifying- but that could just be a mom talking whose baby got up entirely too early today ;) Usually, she's adorable.

I've been a teacher for 11 years, love kids, but don't want to have them. Ever. I would adopt, though, but not right now. Gotta enjoy my 20's while I can!

I for sure do the mellow yellow bit, especially at night -- I'd be a little embarassed if an unexpected visitor popped in.

Popped looks a bit like pooped. gross.

My confession is that I put a bit of salt in my tea, instead of sugar. And a half spoonful of oatmeal, sometimes.

I confess that I think you are really cool. :o)

I have approximately 10389284081 cookbooks and have used approximately one recipe from them.

My apartment is almost always a cluttered mess and I think about cleaning it all day long, but never do.

I LOVE folding laundry and doing dishes. It's so relaxing and I love sweeping for the same reason. Haha I second you on dinner. I always have trouble figuring out what to make and at least once a week opt for breakfast dinner.

Confession: I just watched Grease for the first time

Kate said...

Ditto on letting the yellow mellow...even if it creeps out my roommates :) I also love to do laundry, wash dishes, and organize things.

Confession: I was tired & FREEZING and totally went on a 1000+ calorie food binge last night. Oops!

Haha I have tons of cookbooks that I haven't made ANY recipes out of, so don't feel bad. I also have intense fears of having kids, and a lot of it is being pregnant and gaining weight, as superficial as that is, it's a very real fear for someone who has an ED or any other food issue.

And as for #1... if you're saving water, more power to ya :). I honestly do that a lot at home myself.

I confess that I can't sleep if I haven't cleaned my dishes and feel really uncomfortable if people walk on my left hand side D:

Mica said...

Hmmm, I confess that I don't like to read blogs with people who are at different stages in their lives. In general, this means that I don't read blogs by people with children because it freaks me out. I also don't read blogs written by people in high school.

melonshots said...

I am also terrified to have children.
Bananas also freak me out.. but I try to eat them...
Yes. Breakfast really should be every meal of the day.
I dont think I had anything but fruit yesterday. muauaha :)
and yogurt/oats/pb!!
oh..perhaps some carrots

BecomingBryana said...

Whoa, I'm scared to have kids too! I dislike practically all kids now, and the thought of birthing is horrifying to me.

As for breakfast, you are speaking my language! That's what every meal should always be :-)

Doris said...

Totally feel you on #5 mehh

Krista said...

I agree with your #1 all the way!!!

I don't LOVE doing dishes and washing laundry, but I definitely don't mind doing them. Totally relaxing. Vacuuming, however - I hate it! I always leave it for Mark. Same with taking out the trash. ;)
