confessions on a lovely valentine's day

So they say confession is good for the soul. I feel I must share some things with you that have been guilting my mind and weighing me down lately. Bear with me as I bear my bare soul.

1) I gained a pound last week. I didn't do my DDR at all, I was sloppy with my points, and I finished off a bag of salt and vinegar lays potato chips all by myself. And it was good.

2) I loved the movie "Blades of Glory." It's retarded and juvenile and it rocks my socks off. Normally, I can't stand Will Ferrell's brand of humor. But this one made me chuckle.


3) I used to bite my toenails. I don't mean like last Thursday, I mean like last decade. Or maybe earlier. I was probably 10 or 12 and much more bendy.

4) I have a crush on Zac Efron. There, I said it. And I don't care who knows it.


5) I don't know how to charge a battery. I've been taught countless times, but if it ever came down with it, I still don't remember which is positive and which is negative and if you're supposed to put the two positives together or the opposites together?

6) I've never been to IKEA. I don't think life will be complete until I change this. Same thing goes for the Claim Jumper restaurant.

7) I don't own a pair of pantyhose. I hate them and I think they need to be banned.

8) There are approximately 40 blogs that I check almost daily. Hello, my name is Amie, and I am a blog addict.

9) I love my mother-in-law. Even though she's slightly crazy.

10) I have well over 475 burned movies. Don't tell the po-po.

11) I own a black push-up bra and it makes my 'girls' look excellent.

12) Dear Mom, I'm sorry I just spoke of my 'girls' in public.

13) I used to weigh 200 pounds. Sad, but true.


14) I've sold and made a profit on things I've gotten for free. <----that one's particularly embarassing.

15) Last night for our anniversary, we did a Cold Stone Creamery run. I blew my diet and ate the Chocolate Fantasy (Ghiradelli's chocolate ice cream with Ghiradelli's chocolate w/ caramel bars crushed into it, with chocolate chips) I had the Love It size. And it was good. And it gave me a tummy ache. But it was worth it.

And now for something completely different.

Hubba Bubba is working today, so my 6:00am good-bye kiss is all I'm getting for the next 24 hours. We'll celebrate tomorrow by opening all our family Valentines and hopefully crashing another stake's Valentine's Dance. Amie likes to boogie.

Here is what I made for the kids' teachers this year (inside is a decorated bag of Valentine M&Ms):

Have a good one everybody!
