Coulda Woulda Shoulda

This process of revealing is becoming a cathartic way to get the week started right. It's almost like letting a truth out about yourself and watching it float away like a balloon. If it weren't for D, I would be a hoarder. Hands. Down. As previously stated, I've got a little addiction to reality TV. And when I was watching one of the most recent episodes of people who have their homes stacked with stuff, I had an uncomfortable revelation. The 'patient' ie hoarder who we are exploiting as we peer into her life began explaining to the doctor why she did not want to throw a stuffed animal she had gotten for her 13 year old son when he was 2 away. (paraphrased) Patient: This toy brings back good memories Doctor: So, is there another way to honour those memories than keeping the stuffed toy? P: Well, when I look at it, it reminds me of all the times that were good when he was little. D: You'll still have those times. P: Yes but I have a bad memory and

I had envisioned that I would have written something between the two Monday confessions however with a project wrapping up at work and my half marathon prep, I simply just did not get back to this lovely page until today. And so, in its second installment, I bring you my confession Monday I use a Neti pot to clear out my sinuses and survive allergy season. This isn't necessarily a very evil aspect about  myself, but I guess more revealing and um perhaps a bit embarrassingly personal? For those of you who do not know what  Neti pot is, you are probably wondering why this may be something a bit embarrassing to admit.

I mean, no there isn't any stinging and yes the 'return' liquid is clear as well but essentially using water to flush out your sinuses is about as, well, awkward as it sounds. But so is flossing but that doesn't mean you don't do it right? An

I decided I need to purge a bit of all that is evil about myself. *blink* *blink* Okay, so MAYBE a bit melodramatic, but I thought it might be fun to throw out a confession about myself every Monday so that everyone else who is struggling with Monday can feel just a little better about themselves. See? Aren't I nice? Taking one for the team on Mondays. So, quick and dirty, here it goes. Since buying the upgraded HD cable package, I watch WAY too much TLC. Cake Boss. Yes to the Dress. Little People Big World. 300 kids and Counting. Geckos that can't Climb. If D is studying, I am sneaking some shows about people's lives. And there are SOOO MANY of these shows. They even branch out from TLC - the National Geographic channel is constantly playing Dog Whisperer. I knew I was also in trouble on the weekend when I was giddy about another show on the NG channel (cause that's what you call it when you watch it more than 5 hours a week) called Dog Rescue Ink or some
