Confessions

In true blog etiquette, I have decided to make a few confessions...so here goes...my very important confessions.

1. I have never watched American Idol, nor do I ever plan to. Yes, I know who Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Jennifer Hudson are. Did I see them perform on the show? No. Can I name anyone else from the show? No. Do I care about any of this? No.

2. Sometimes when I blast the stereo, I feel bad for some of my music selections since there are two young kids that live next to me...and maybe they shouldn't hear Sublime...Eminem, Jay Z...

3. I only know who Snookie and Pauly D are from reading People and US Weekly. While channel surfing, I stopped on the Jersey Shore show, and after 20 seconds, quickly changed it as I couldn't believe this is what television has become...or that people actually live this way.

4. I normally wash my hair every 3-4 days because it is very thick and curly, washing it more often dries out my scalp and my hair. So if I ever tell you I can't do something because I have to wash my hair, I am lying.

5. Real Housewives? Puhlease! I understand this is quit an entertaining train wreck. But I refuse to watch because the name of the show is misleading. Are any of these women actually taking care of their own kids? Scrubbing floors? Cooking dinner? Do they even do community work or serve on the PTA? The show should be called (with maybe a few exceptions) Trophy Wives Gone Bad.

6. Even though I have a dog, I can't stand barking. It drives me insane. That being said, I talk to my dog all the time and yes he understands me. Really, he does. Why are you making that face?

7. At first, I thought the Teem Mom show on MTV could be a good thing, open up some dialogue between parents and kids that otherwise may not have happened; let kids see how hard this thing called child rearing really is. However, it seems that instead it has managed to bring to light a very troubling epidemic: girls with such low self esteem and self worth that they purposely try to get pregnant to have a chance to land a spot on a MTV show. Makes me miss the days when MTV just had videos.

8. I brush my teeth for entirely too long, but I just can't stop. If I don't brush for at least 2 minutes, I feel like my teeth are dirty. However, I rarely floss. Oops. I also still have nightmares that a bridge that was put in when I was in 9th grade (I didn't have my two front bottom adult teeth) is going to come out. I make the dentist check it at every cleaning.

9. I don't watch The Biggest Loser anymore because I cried at least once during every episode.

10. I love the E-Trade commercial where the baby is in timeout for riding the dog. I sometimes rewind it and watch it a few times.
