confessions

I have a few confessions. 
and yes, some of them are slightly shameful. 

***************
I like Nicki Minaj. a lot.
and I may or may not rap along with her in the car. 

***************
I love the fact that Maggie can sing nearly every word to most of my crappy music.
including tik-tok by ke$ha
fun fact: how proud I am of that particular skill is directly proportional to how ke$shamed Tyler is 

***************
I've turned into a pod person of myself.
up until about a year ago I loathed vacuuming.
with a pure and unholy passion I despised it.
yesterday I was vacuuming and Maggie asked me why...
I told her "because I love vacuuming"
and then I about fell over because did that really come out of my mouth?

***************
I bought a beta fish thinking we'd have maybe a solid two months.
it has been a lifetime.
the fish will not die.
tyler feels the need for me to point out it's probably been about 4 months. but if you were feeding the dang fish and cleaning out it's bowl... it'd feel like a lifetime to you too. 

***************
I like my house to be clean and picked up at all times. 
like if someone were to drop by unexpectedly I would never be embarrassed.
but closets and drawers?
a whole other matter.
they are downright scary.
until Tyler gets a hold of them and then they look nice until I junk them up again.
exhibit A. my closet
and every other closet in our house.

***************
I have a deep love for greek yogurt.
and sandwiches. 
not at the same time though.
oh and hummus. 
delish. 


ok, I think that's it for now.

I love vacuuming since I got The Dyson 6 years ago.

I love a tidy house.....but two kids and 10,000 legos in a 990 sq ft apartment has made that impossible.

I love sandwiches more than vacuuming. So this gluten free like is a real downer sometimes.

What's behind closed doors is hardly ever pretty in people's homes. I would cut anybody who dared to open a door, cupboard, or drawer in this house and expose my disastrous mess!

While I can't get behind your love of vacuuming itself, I do so enjoy those vacuum marks on the carpet. :)

you may, or may not.. find two minaj songs on my iphone... the clean versions. ;o)

I.hate.fish. We had one that would have reminded you of nemo. he had the bum fin and everything (this was before Nemo came out) and that sucker would.not.die. It wasn't my idea to get him, so I refused to clean the tank.

I was rejoicing a tad when we finally found him floating at the top of the tank. But I held it in. ;o)

I am exactly the same... The house has what I call "curb appeal"... Dear God PLEASE don't look in my drawers or cabinets!

Most of the time I like vacuuming. Something about seeing the dirt come right up is invigorating. Weird.

I've heard of people having Beta fish that last 10 years. True story.

greek yogurt is DISGUSTING. there ;)

oh man do i love my vacuum, and most recently i have fallen in love with my steam cleaner. WOWZA.

depressing i know. which would explain the crickets on my blog... i seriously shampooed every square inch of carpet in my house last week. twice.

then i had to go back to work. dammit.

I'm a cleaning fanatic...vacuuming makes me happy!! We share the same taste in music ; )

I am somewhat "obsessed" with a clean house.. The parts you can see anyway.. To the point that people comment "your house is never messy/dirty"... Those are the people that don't open my closets or cabinets... or look under my couch or bed :)

I like vacuuming, especially when I have a good vacuum!
I hate putting laundry away though.

Anna said...

I loved your Broke Girls Ke$ha reference! haha We LOVE that show!

I don't think I will ever get to the point where I can say I enjoy vacuuming...which is why I love my hardwood floors. I have a small area rug in the living room for the kids to have a soft place to play (or technically, bonk their heads on as they jump around on the couch). I do, however, enjoy folding clothes...something I think I should probably seek counseling for.

I never could get used to the thicker texture of greek yogurt. They say it's healthier for you than reg yogurt, which is probably why I don't like it. My body seems to be allergic to healthy.

I was thinking about buying a beta fish for my daughter...now I'm not sure. On one hand I don't want to explain the whole life and death thing at this age...but I also don't want to be cleaning a fish tank on a regular basis for months on end.

My first thought was that Nicki Minaj is so blah....but then I was super impressed that you like Ke$ha. I am just waiting for her to release new material!!!!
