Ten Little Confessions



I got this crazy ten little confessions idea from Wendy Miller of All in a Day’s Thought. I hope these are little enough not to shock you, and big enough not to disappoint you.

1.My husband brings me coffee from freshly ground beans every morning. When he is gone overnight, I tote the programmable coffee maker into the bedroom and set it on my desk across the room, so I can wake up to the smell of coffee brewing.

2.I spoil my four cats beyond reason, talking baby talk to them and letting them climb wherever they want. They even jump on the bathroom counter and drink water from a cup there.

3.We lived in Illinois six years before I shoveled snow the first time, and that was only because my husband had broken his ankle.

4.I not only snort when I laugh real loud; I also snort when I’m disgusted.

5.I love to slide across the kitchen floor in my stocking feet.

6.On my end table I keep several stacks of different colored 3 x 5 cards with encouraging Scriptures written on them. Every day I pick a stack that matches the outfit I’m wearing, and confess them aloud.

7.Some days I get really wild and say Scriptures from cards that don’t even match my outfit!

8.I am not fond of cooking. My favorite cookbook is one containing recipes of 3, 4, and 5 ingredients.

9.My favorite sport is dining out. Shopping comes a close second.

10.My hair is not this bright red; its natural color is auburn, which went bye-bye when I was thirty-five. My youngest granddaughter’s hair is the same shade. YES!

Which one of these surprised you? Have you done “Ten Little Confessions” on your blog?

P.S. In case you missed my big announcement, go HERE to enter a drawing for 35 office products.

  1. great post! although, being in the "fashion industry" (big tongue in cheek lol) I might have to rethink being cyber-pals with someone who doesn't ALWAYS match her scripture cards to her outfit. tsk, tsk!

    You're tons of fun, Jeanette!

  18. Hi Jen -

    I also like #9, except I'd reverse dining out and shopping.

    Confession time: I'm on auto pilot in the morning. If I get out of my routine, it takes me twice as long to get into my day.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

  19. I don't know that I could come up with any more confessions. After getting tagged to list "25 random things about me" by my DD on Facebook last year I was pretty much confessed out. But I'm definitely with you on #8 and #9.

    (I can't figure out how to do a short link and don't know if this will work, but my 25 random things can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?v=app_2347471856&ref=name&id=638447751 )

  20. I love you even more now. You are pure joy. Do you know that? I love that you slide across the kitchen floor in your stocking feet!!! Your cats don't even know how good they have it. I can just see you talking baby talk to them, that's so sweeeet. But my favorite is you reading scripture that matches your outfit. If you haven't already included that in your book, please do so. You are a riot. OXOXOXOXOXO Happy Valentines day sweetie!
