Confessional # 4

You know the drill by now.  Read, laugh, gasp, nod,  shake your head but don't you judge me!  : )

1.  At 1 pm Liam is still in his jammies.  I do not plan on dressing him.  Not one bit.  He is going to wear his jammies allllll day... and so am I.  He might even wear the same jammies to bed tonight!  (No... no... that would be too much... he'll get a fresh pair.  I promise.  LOL)

2.  I have become a little bit obsessed with The Pioneer Woman's blog/website.  I think she is awesome and I love her posts and I secretly fantasize that my blog will grow in popularity as much as hers has and I will start writing cookbooks (eventhough I am yet to post a recipe on here) and appearing on talk shows.  She is like a rock star of the "mommy blog" set.  http://thepioneerwoman.com/ - check her out.

3.  I always say I hate being pregnant... which I do... but there is one awesome thing that happens when I get pregnant... I get gorgeous nails. I love them.  They are long and strong and the tips are so white they look like a french manicure.  I confess... I love my "pregnancy nails" but you should still very sorry for me and listen to me whine incessantly!

4.  I love Pinterest so much.  It's like crack to me.  I am utterly obsessed.  I do actually use a lot of the pins I find... like recipes and organizational ideas but I also pin tons of things that I know are totally pointless; recipes I will never cook, crafts I will DEFINITELY never make (I am decidedly UNcrafty), decorating ideas that would only be suitable for a home 4 times the size of mine and clothes that I would never wear in real life.  I don't know why but I just can't resist pinning them.  It's almost like internet hoarding.  "This MIGHT come in handy someday so I MUST have it!" (eventhough when it were to come time to use the idea I would never remember that I had it pinned on one of my boards.)  Wow, that's actually exactly like hoarding. 

5.  I am really cheap.  If you know me, you know how cheap I am.  I like to call it "thrifty" but it's "cheap" and I am just going to own that from now on.  I am cheap.  I like to use coupons, find the best deal on everything, hate paying full price for things and getting a good deal is a high to me. I am cheap, cheap, cheap... and I believe wholeheartedly that my family and I have a better quality of life and nicer things because of that fact.  I don't waste money so we end up with extra and I get nice things for the price of lower quality products because I know how to stretch a dollar.  We aren't rich and I don't see any point in pretending that we are or trying to live outside of our means.
 (caveat:  I am not cheap when it comes to others.  I tip well, buy nice gifts and never conveniently "forget" my wallet at lunch.  That's a whole other kind of cheap and, for me, that is unacceptable.)

Join my blog, people! It's the blue button over there ------> on the right.  It says "Join this site". It is sooo nice to see that 50 - 100 people read a post (and that some in other countries are even reading)  but I am dying to know who you are. You know all of my deep, dark secrets so show yourselves!!! ; )
