They say confession is good for your soul, so here we go with some real-life confessions from around here.
1. I {unintentionally} drove around in a minivan with expired registration for NINE MONTHS. And I only realized because Greg went to pay taxes & registration on a company vehicle and couldn’t because our personal vehicle was so overdue. (The registration is paid and I’m thankful I never got pulled over!)
To my defense, the clerk mailed the registration renewal to an address that didn’t exist, so I got that corrected.
2. I used to believe leggings were not to be worn as pants. But then I started wearing them (with long tunics!) and I apologize for my uneducated assumptions.
3. I went to Walmart on Friday and ran into a friend and our conversation got me so excited and distracted that I forgot half of what I’d come to get. So I went to Walmart again Saturday.
4. I love my brown boots that I bought at Zappos outlet store years ago. So I ordered the same brand in black from Zappos.com last week. They cost $115, but I figured if I loved them like my brown ones it would be worth it. I did not love them, so I returned them. And then bought $30 black boots from a local store. I believe I love them. Um, win-win-win.
5. A Facebook friend posted about “Hidden Figures” and mentioned he actually liked this Kevin Costner movie. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve been trying to think of a Kevin Costner movie I like and can’t come up with one.
6. I offered to pay $2 to whoever could find our TV remote. It’s the one that allows us to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime. Cate and Ben looked for awhile, and then Ben found it AND SPLIT HIS EARNINGS WITH HIS BIG SISTER. I’d say that’s a parenting win all around.
7. I asked my 9-year-old girl for fashion advice before going to a dinner party recently. Her advice was solid, but a few days later I bought a full-length mirror for our bedroom.
Any confessions from your real life? I’d love to hear them in the comments!
I LIKE THIS POST….Confession 1: I wore leggings to church this past Sunday. Tiny polka-dotted ones, with a long tunic dress-like thing and an open vest over-thing over the dress with ankle boots. It was stylish. My hubs loved it. I felt a tad awkward but I will do it again! Confession 2: The nativity scene and snowmen are still on display on two side tables. Confession 3: The guest room has all the Christmas decor awaiting to be put in bins. Please don’t come visit me yet.Confession 4: One day this week I never even stepped one foot out the door. recluse Confession 5: I binge watched ‘my 600 lb life’ and got depressed.
I better stop here.
Hooray for leggings worn respectably as pants. I’m wearing some again today. 🙂 Just keep celebrating Christmas – it matters all year around anyway! And I’m an extrovert, but I love getting those days where I don’t even have to put on shoes! Thanks for sharing your confessions!
