(let me start with a few bloggy ones)
1. I HATE word verification, and it hates me. If I can't get the word right on the first try I typically skip it, even if I just spent a good amount of time composing a wordy (sometimes funny and often brilliant) comment. Sometimes, I just skip commenting all together, just cuz I hate that little word verification thingy...so if you see I have been by, stayed a while and left without saying anything...I probably DID but your word verification hates me.
2. And as long as I am confessing my bloggy peeves... I really have a hard time with blogs that have their play lists on auto start (i know, i know it's YOUR blog). Most of the time I am already listening to my own music or have the TV on. More often I am enjoying the silence soaking up people's bloggy goodness...THEN I click on some one's blog only to be blasted out of my seat by the music. Yo! Respect my bloggy audio space...let ME decide if I wanna listen to your tunes.
3. I host Mamarazzi's Swaparazzis because I love knowing that the hours of hard work organizing these swaps mean that women all over the United States are getting packages from other women all over the United States and making new friends through the process. THAT is a cool feeling...knowing I made it happen, spreading the L-O-V-E.
4. Speaking of Good Mail...I love sending it. It makes me happy...I especially love sending it to my nieces and nephews. I also love getting Good Mail...there is nothing better than going to the mail box and getting something other than junk or bills...makes my day every time.
5. See this pretty armoire? It is in my formal "sit and visit" front room. Oooooh I wonder what is inside?.....
....it's like Monica's closet on Friends...I cannot believe I am sharing this.
6. I am a line talker...seriously, do not make eye contact with me or I will assume that you want to be my new best friend. I also like to talk to people on planes. On a recent trip this was the conversation with the Guy in the seat next to me (GISNTM)
Me: Hi there, are you traveling for business or fun?
GISNTM: Hi, I don't like talking while flying.
Me: Oh are you a nervous traveler?
GISNTM: No, I just don't like talking.
Me: To anyone or just me?
GISNTM: I really just don't like talking.
Me: OH...soooo you are just rude?
GISNTM: *laughs* Yea, I guess I'm rude.
Me: OK good to know.
Seriously, it was his fault, he made eye contact.
7. I have made mention of this before, but it is confession worthy. I never EVER pump my own gas. I have no problem asking a total stranger to do it for me. I know how, I just don't.
8. This may not come as a big surprise to anyone who reads this blog regularly but these two people right here are my FAVORITE people in the whole world...I don't love anyone more than I love these two...A-N-Y-O-N-E. Yep, that's a lot of L-O-V-E!!

i'm so doing this.
i'm pretty sure i owe you some SERIOUS good mail after all the awesome packages you've sent to us! I love getting mail from you and knowing you hand picked something just for me. it's the best.
that pic of j and fonzo is great!
oh how i hate word verification too
always messing it up oh poop
i also talk to those all around me
especially in the grocery store
watch out because i think i know something your interested in ooops
your swaps are fun
thanks for hosting and doing all the leg work for the rest of us
and one more thing....we all have our junk hidden from view. but we all have junk. lol
Ok.. I honestly sometimes think we were twins separated at birth..
I also despise word verification.. it makes me crazy.. sometimes I can't tell if they are r's or n' err.. aggravating is what they are most of the time.
Your armoire is gorgeous I love it.. even the inside.. I am a huge fan of friends even all these years later and secretly have a Monica Closet.. People think my house looks nice.. hehehe. jokes on you buddy.
Being a Line Talker is definitely me.. I honestly do not know a stranger. If you even look like you want to look in the direction I am standing you are now my buddy(hostage I will talk to you now for as long as I can) for as long as it takes me to find out all about you.. My family thinks its hilarious that no matter how near or far we are from home I usually find someone I know.. freaky, or I meet someone new.
We went to Florida from Ohio.. flew on an airplane with 27 people from our town. I am in the restroom of the airport and there is a lady I know from our town.. I thought she was with out group...hehehe.. she wasn't..She was on her way back to Ohio, we were just arriving in Florida.
Well I have left you a long comment.. I love the swaps by the way.. I am so excited about the Red White and Blue swap.
Have a wonderful evening with your 2 Favorite people..
i'm first! neener neener!
lol, I hate the music too, when I was a bloggin' virgin I had it on their, but came to realize, I hated other peoples so maybe they hated mine too...
#6 made me laugh! I am a total line talker and it drives my husband crazy. I also have a knack for attracting "interesting" people.
Oh my gosh! I'm so with you on the bloggy music! I hate it! Every.single.time.I went to this one blog, her college alma mater fight song would BLAST. I actually quit going to her blog, because A)her alma mater is poopy and B) the SONG is even worse!
Line talker? That's great! Nothing makes my day more than when someone is friendly to me in line, for no reason except that they are friendly! I can see you doing this, because I can tell by your blog that you are SO SWEET!
Mamarazzi, you make my day sometimes! And by the way, my swap partner and I are having TONS of fun already just chattin' it up! :)

I love the confessions. Sorry about the word verification on my blog. I am just paranoid about stalkers. I had one in real life (there, that's my confession) and I just can't take one on line:-)
I hate the word verification thingy too! I did a post on it along time ago!.
Oh and you're closet confession cracked me up. If that is your only messy mess, you are 10000000000 times better than me. EVERYONE has to have a 'junk drawer'.
I love your confessions! I have a goal of clearing out clutter this month, since the month is half over and I am not even nearly halfway done I doubt I will ever get done. I love your blog! April
Wow...I feel bad lol..I'm going to stop the autostart on my music AND the word verification thing. Lol...I'm just a double dose 'o dislike lol....awwww....you have my button!!
My computer is always on mute for that very reason! I HATE IT!
I'm a none talker, not rude just not a fan of talking to a complete stranger. I'll talk if you insist but I will so be rolling my eyes at whomever I'm traveling with. Sorry!
My entire off looks hike you armoire!
Looking forward to and struggling with the Red, White and Blue swap! I feel like I've lost my creative mojo!
your so cute! i love how you chatted with the person on the airplane! LOL
What a funny list!!!!!!
I lvoe all the dandelions all over your blog!!!!!
Happy FMM!
I hate word verification and playlists too. So annoying & my kids always have the speakers cranked up so I get an ear full and have a massive heart attack. I love it! *sigh*
Love your armoire too. Very pretty.
Oo I LOVE good mail.
I also hate when bloggers have music on their page. It's scared me more times than I care to admit because sometimes I forget to lower the volume and then suddenly I have music BLASTING out at me. Not cool.
I cracked up through your whole list. I hate word verification. The minute I realized I could opt out on my blog I did so. I have now gotten in the habit of right-click copying long comments I write, just in case I have a prob with word verification. (Also, with all of the nonsense words, do you get the feeling that you've typed "osseco" {or something} over and over...?)
I hate that the music scares me, but what is worse is that bloggers make their words and their music compete for my attention.
We all have an armoire or a closet that look like that. (some of us have a couple...)
Awesome list!!! Love how you talked to the guy on the plane, you are too fun!!
Have a wonderful Monday night...almost Tuesday morning!
I hate auto play music on blogs too. It scares the hell out of me every single time.
Sorry, I have word verification. I don't want spam comments.
I hear you on the word verification and the music auto play!!! They both drive me crazy!
I love this post!!
I couldn't agree more with #1 and #2. 'Nuf Said.
I love that you do the swaps. I am overly excited about this one (being a newbie and all). I can only imagine all the work you put into them. I appreciate it!!
And last but not least......you don't pump your own gas? I'm not judging. Just caught me off gaurd. Made me giggle at the thought of you asking a stranger to do it for you. Gone are the days of full-service stations.
Autoplay is very annoying. If I lon on to a page and hear music, I immediately close it.
I am with you on all of those! Someday I hope to be able to do one of your swaps. Right now, money is kind of tight because my husbands job has cut hours:0(
word ver stinks!!!!! but i love music.
I have decided that I must be legally blind, or suffer from some rare brain disorder cause I can NEVER EVER get word verification right (oh GOSH, do I have it on my blog - gotta go see).
Not only do I talk to people in line or anywhere in my near vicinity, I share WAY too much information!!
Love U, your blog & the Red, White and Blue Swap!
Thanks for all u do!
ok funny airplane convo. HA HA I should join this meme, next week!
You need to come live in Jersey, I never pump my own gas! I went shopping with a friend yesterday and he commented that I "make friends where ever I go"...I guess I talk to people who make eye contact with me too LOL... And I almost died laughing at the mention of "Monica's closet" I miss FRIENDS
Great confessions! I LOVE your swaparazzis, too! Can't wait to send mine out!
Oops, I have my music on autostart on my blog! Sometimes it actually annoys even me! For instance if I want to post a movie, but I know the music is going to be playing over the sound of the movie! I don't know why, but I've always liked having music on the websites I make, even before I started blogging! My solution has been to put the music player up high so people can notice it and stop it if they want to... which is sort of the opposite of your suggestion of letting others push play, but maybe close enough???
by the way... that closet is SO NOT you. It must have taken loads of courage to post that bad boy.
I just cleaned out MY messy closet a few weeks ago. It is miraculously still clean-unlike ANYthing else in my house right now. I SO need a Consuela to come deep clean. I can't catch up, it's driving me CrAzY!
I think we are line talkers because dad and mom are line talkers, too!
Yew are FU-UH-UH-Uh- Nee.
I love it. Eye Contact = New friends.
If you sit next to me...We'll talk.
I so agree with you about word verification and music on blogs. So agree.
I'm guilty of #6, too. I just really like talking to people!
I turned off my word verification only to have porn spam commenters the next day. It is now back on. I love the armoire. Ours is the same way. Beautiful when closed, and the kids computer desk mess when open.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE #6. That's just hilarious!!
Yep....I hate the word verify thingy too...and I have my speakers OFF just for that same reason!!!
....I bet you are one of those people who always talk to moms in grocery store lines with new-born babies!!! LOL! I love that we are all different...how dull it would be if we were all the same! =)
super love your confessions! all of them! and love your cabinet/monica's closet. hee hee!
i do the same thing with word verification .
i totally would have done the red white and blue swap, but the rule saying you had to have participated before excluded me.
Your airplane story is hilarious!!
Great post! I loved getting to know you better...We could be best friends in real life :-)
I am so with you on #1 and #2! I didn't know I was allowed to admit this, I am still learning blog etiquette. Feel free to leave comments on my word verification free and music free blog. Sometimes I jump out of my seat a little when music from someones blog startles me. LOL, I just noticed your "auto start play list free zone" sign.
As for #5 on your list, you should be proud that it is only an armoire. I have an entire basement room that looks like that.
I hate the word verification too! I always end up with some word with characters that I can't read and I'm waiting to get an error one day for typing the wrong letter or something!
hmmm...maybe i should get rid of my word verification so you'll leave more comments. :)
Your armoire....where I'm sure ALOT of magic comes from!!!
This was a fun post and I love knowing more about YOU!!
