Some things I love. But I don't talk about them. I can't say they're secret, oh-my-gosh-if-people-find-out-I'll-die-or-be-blackballed-by-my-volunteer-organizations things.
But some of them just aren't polite conversation starters.
You know?
Here goes:
Raw brownie mix,
The movie Titanic,
My dog's wet nose,
Burping,
Passing gas (you may remember I can't even say the "f" word - so disgusting),
Reality TV,
Cutting someone jerky off on the highway,
Getting through a yellow light "just" before it turns red,
Listening to gossip,
Drinking Red Bulls with Vodka (that first one is like nectar of the gods),
Putting my kids to bed at night,
Falling asleep,
Taking a nap while the kids are at school,
Ke$ha,
Shaking it like a polaroid picture,
Usher's Yeah, Yeah,
Picking my nose (I know, by this point you are like, "You are SO gross! I AM going to blackball you after all.),
Picking wedgies,
Flossing my teeth,
Popping zits (come on, admit you like this one too),
Finding hidden pictures in Highlights magazine,
Playing pizza palace on Webkinz,
Being alone,
Arranging my kids into more comfortable positions as they sleep,
Being right with an asshole,
Being wrong and learning something new from someone I admire and respect,
Scratching a mosquito bite until it's raw (gross right?).
Question is, if I've shared mine, what secret loves are you going to tell me?
Come on . . . you know you wanna!
I love throwing things away. If we haven't used it in 6 months, it goes in the trash or to Goodwill! I get in trouble with my husband all the time because I have gotten rid of something. He's a pack rat.

I love a clearance rack and actually have a really hard time paying full price for anything!
Admitting when you are wrong and learning from it? That's an admirable quality!

I love so many of these things, but I'm not sure if I should say which ones :) But Usher's Yeah is definitely one of them. One of my biggest guilty pleasures is teen dramas. I prefer them to reality TV. I love listening to my music really loud in the car, preferably with the windows down. And so many other things.

Popping zits - oh yeah!
Biggest secret pleasure: swearing. I know, I know, not ladylike etc etc. But man, a good swear can make me feel sooooo much better when things are shitty.

Here is the grossest of the gross...please don't shy away from me after reading this.
I love to peel the skin off of my husband after he has gotten too much sun.

Love popping zits! And if they are on someone else, Jackpot! And I don't know if it gets much more disgusting than this... But after a bikini wax there are usually a few ingrown hairs... Love "popping" those and getting them out. You don't have to be friends with me after reading that...

I love this list. The popping zits, yes I think everyone does it, but won't admit to it.
I love my alone time. LOVE IT.
Posted by: Carolyn | 09/04/2012 at 09:10 AM
This is awesome. I love Usher's 'Yeah x 3', the movie Titanic and I can't stop watching 'The Bachelor/Bachelorette', it's such good TV.
Posted by: marie | 09/04/2012 at 10:15 AM
Hahaha! Now THIS is funny!!! I was completely with you until number 4. Burping, really? When anyone burps around me I have to hold their mouth shut until they swallow their burp so I don't have to smell it! ;o) Hateful, hateful thing, burping is.
I am obsessed with that Webkinz puzzle piece game where you have to get the animals home before dark. Seriously, try it. You won't be able to stop.
Posted by: Sarah Kate | 09/04/2012 at 10:16 AM
I am sooo with you on this one!! My kids run as soon as I say "Is that a zit?"
So So Sad

Hahahahaha! Mine aren't old enough to know what's coming yet. But I'll teach them soon enough!

I like most of those things, too, even Ke$ha. But not Titanic. Never that.

I like some of these, but to add to it I love picking my 11 month old daughter's nose. She's not a fan of it though. Not at all. I also love picking peely skin.
Posted by: Venassa | 09/04/2012 at 11:26 AM
{Melinda} Raw brownie mix, raw cookie dough ... anything cooked or raw with sugar -- I'm in!
Posted by: Mothering From Scratch | 09/04/2012 at 02:01 PM
Bahaha!!!! This is so freakin' funny! I do love picking my nose and popping zits! LOL!!!! How gross am I?
Posted by: adrienne | 09/04/2012 at 03:46 PM
You are SO funny! I'll admit: I LOVE Titanic (even though I'm not usually a Leo fan) and anything Usher (but I think that makes us cool, right?) I'm also a WICKED. HUGE. FAN of the Bee Gees. Yup, that's right.
You can tell by the way I use my walk ...
Posted by: michelle @ this little light | 09/04/2012 at 04:55 PM
LOL!! Awesome... seriously it is! You are one hell of a brave woman to post that!
Okay, so who doesn't like popping one of those big zits?? They're screaming to be popped!
Posted by: Jackie | 09/04/2012 at 04:58 PM
I love falling asleep with my kids too...ok, ok, AND popping my zits. And Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Love it like it's my anthem. There. Now you have it. :)
Posted by: ilene | 09/04/2012 at 05:50 PM
Oh I am cracking up here!!!!!
I'm with ya on the popping zits thing . . . the relief from the pressure is so great!
My secret . . . well if you promise not to tell . . . I'm totally into Jersey Shore {hanging my head in shame} I know total trash, right?!
Posted by: Erin | 09/04/2012 at 06:39 PM
Hahaha! I love your courage to post these. :) Well, you know I share your love of Red Bull. Like you, I also like to pick and pop things on my skin. (My dermatologist hates me.) I love throwing things away. Cleaning out drawers and closets is a daunting task, but when it's done and I take that huge pile of "purged" goods to the Goodwill, it's the best feeling. I swear my whole like feels lighter.
Oh, and I also like to peel my toenails. In bed. EWWWWW, right?
Posted by: Melissa | 09/04/2012 at 11:21 PM
Brave woman you are! Seriously though, I'm with you on Titanic and popping zits and being alone. Me? I love watching re-runs of old sitcoms.
Posted by: Anne | 09/05/2012 at 12:54 AM
Hehe... I love all those things too... :) I saw Titanic in the theatre 3 times!
Posted by: Rebecca Rider | 09/05/2012 at 08:54 AM
I love, love, love Titanic. I don't pass gas... I toot!!! Thanks, "Good Luck Charlie"... yeah, I love watching Disney shows with my girl!!! And I love YA novels... aka The Twilight Saga!!! Once a Twihard always a Twihard.

All undeniable goodies!

Ke$ha..seriously? I think that might get you bounced from the PTA in my hood.
