Friday Confessionals
I am so glad it's Friday and I figured I would join in on Mamarazzi's Friday Confessional. Join us and don't forget to link up.
I confess.....
I can't wait to eat at Texas de Brazil for the first time tonight.
I love meat and unlimited supplies of it.
I might try some meats that I am unsure about, just to say I did.
I confess.....
We are having a joint family pool party at our apt tomorrow and I intentionally didn't invite quite a few people to avoid drama.
I am tired of these people trying to always have all of the attention on them.
I confess.....
that I am annoyed when people do not call or show up as they said they would.
this is a huge pet peeve of mine. I mean how hard it is to pick up the phone and say plans changed.
that I stop talking to some people for this very reason.
I confess.....
That I love Ben more every day.
He is the man I want to spend my life with.
He is the one I want to father my children.
He completes me.
