I Confess...
Sometimes I feel like I don't make a very good first impression.
I mean, I know that after a little while people are going to love me.
But the time between first impression and when they realize I am a cute, fun girl...
can be excruciating and painful for me.
I Confess...
I am not loving Big Daddy's new work schedule.
He use to work 6am-2pm and we would have long afternoons and evenings together.
Now he works the same normal hours as everyone else with weekends off.
I Confess...
I miss going to the movie on a Monday afternoon and being the only people in the theater.
Heck, going anywhere and never having to fight a crowd was awesome.
I Confess...
I have a BIG pile of Good Mail and Prizes sitting on my kitchen table that are ready to go to the post office.
But, my errand boy (Big Daddy) doesn't get home before the post office closes.
I guess eventually I will make the trip myself.
Sorry to make y'all wait.
This is an adjustment for me. Please be more patient than you already are with me.
I Confess...
Every time I write or type the word Leopard I say Lee-oh-pah-rrd in my head.
EVERY TIME...I have no idea why.
I Confess...
I am super ghetto.
I had a few people contact me in March asking if they could send me Scentsy warmers so I never purchased one for myself when I bought Scentsy for the first time to help a friend win a trip to Disneyland.
This is what I am using for a Scentsy warmer.
Yeah, those burners are kind of expensive, but I had all the Scentsy bricks/bars and I was dying to try it.
So I got a $5 no flame candle warming plate and used a ramekin.
It actually works really well...even if it is not cute.
Ghetto...it's how I roll.
But seriously any Scentsy people wanna trade product for ad space? Contact Me.

Lol I say "Leo - pard"!! Funny how we do that huh?
Aw, my hubs now has the 6-2! not sure for how long but I will enjoy it for as long as he does! happy friday!
I SO can relate to that first confession. And yes 6am-2pm has some great advantages. I hope the schedule will change back to that soon for ya.
Wed-nessss-day. That's how I say Wednesday every single time I say it.
If you didn't make GREAT first impressions I would NOT have followed you or be a faithful Friday Confessioner!! But we all know that I am! My good friend Nancy pands confessed once and that's how I found you! I think that you being cute and fun is definitely the first thing I noticed about you! No blowing smoke 100% straight up! I hate when people say straight up! :)
I <3 that Big Daddy is your errand boy because I totally have my husband run TONS of errands for me! HE never seems to complain! I <3 it and can't believe he's so kind!
It's funny about Leopard, I thought about how to spell it for my post, and even said it..LOL But, I still misspell it. It's one of those tricky words for me! :)
Enjoy your weekend girl!
I mean to type Nancy Pants....
I think you're quite clever for coming up with that warmer idea. I see all kinds of crafting potential with such idea! You could decorate your bowels to match the holidays...and I'm sure do lots of other cute things too, but I'm not creative so that's all I've got, hah
Bummer about no longer having your long afternoons together. Regular 9 to 5 hours are lamesauce, I myself wouldn't mind switching to an earlier shift to not feel like my WHOLE day is taken up by work! Hopefully it's only temporary?!
I see nothing wrong with the warmer idea,, being able to improvise is a gift,,
I sell Scentsy!! ;) I love it!! We should talk! :)
I so wish I had a 6-2 job since I'm already up at like 5 anyway!
I have issues with spelling probably. I always want to stick an extra a in it.
I have heard of scentsy but have never actually seen the product. May have to do with where I live.
Yum, scentsy! I love that stuff.
Sorry about your hubby's scedule, that totally sucks!
Love the burner idea!
I wish my hubby worked normal hours but no he's a mechanic and works 6 days a week 10-12 hours a day. It's hard.
I can so relate to thinking I don't make a good first impression; meeting new people gives me major anxiety, so I end up babbling and stuttering. :-(
Big Poppa used to work that shift and I loved it! He was always home before the kids so we at least got to have a little interaction before the chaos erupted.
Now, he has a new job and works from home. It's been an adjustment for all of us, but we love that we get to eat lunch together!
Hope you have a great weekend! ^_^
LOL....good list. I always see the word machine as Mac-Hine!
Have a super weekend!
I just bought my first Scentsy this spring. It was the puzzle piece for Autism so, I felt good spending the money:-)
I just linked up :)
hi, first time visitor here! i love this idea for a post! i confess that i hog the dvr from my husband so i can record every installment of real housewives.
nice meeting you.
cheers,

I love the warmer! I don't think it's ghetto...it's thrifty. Huh? Right? Right?
Sucks when you get used to one schedule and then they change things up on you. It's like the world is upside down.
I love good mail and prizes (but I never get enough!), but I do not love the post office. There is always a line and I am so impatient!
Ghetto's getting the job done, so I say keep rocking it!
I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOVE that owl in that picture. I want it, must have it, making it my life's mission to get it.
If you don't have one already, I sell scentsy and would love to work something out with you!!!
I confess that I don't like stinky crap in my house. It all gives me a headache.
I love the smell of Windex.
Daaaaaaaannnngggg! Somebody linked me. :) Thank you anonylinker!!! I am LAAAAAME. I post at midnight and then come at 7 in the morning to link up...and it's done. :)
Anyway. You say leopard like that to remember how to spell it I bet.
I say all kinds of weird things. Just recently I started saying ap-parent-lee to remember that apparently has to p's not to r's. Cuz I can't spell that word. Stupid word.
I remember before I was married my husband and I had weekdays off and it was always so nice to do things when it wasn't crowded!! Now it's normal hours. Which I guess I should be thankful for, but...bleh.
I can't muster the ability to be thankful for that just now. Sometimes I have to muster the ability to do anything...I mustered enough to get up and get dressed and now I'm done for the day.
You like this rambling comment? I bet it doesn't even make sense and I KNOW it doesn't really have anything to do with your post. Huh. I'm a dork.
Where's that machete?? Which I always pronounc mush-eat-ey.
And? People wanted to send you a scentsy warmer but didn't??
I do the same thing but with the word tomorrow. Tom-or-ow. Or my friend named Tierenie - Tie-ren-ie. I guess it helps me spell better. :-) Have you ever seen the website
http://reallyghetto.com/ ?
It makes me laugh all the time!
Your idea for the Scentsy bricks isn't ghetto - it's genius! OMG - it took me forever to spell genius (and I had to use your trick LOL). I'm like that with the word Tylenol...I never spell it right the first time! I'm sorry your hubs' schedule changed. Is it temporary or will it be that way forever? How can YOU make a bad first impression. I don't believe you!
I too say Wed nes day! Check out my Transparent Thursday post!
Whatever ghetto works is good! :)
I'm going to be saying Lee-oh-pah-rrd all day now. Heehee....
I really enjoy the ghetto side of you, I've just got to mention that! Love your make-shift scentsy burner!
Hope you and Big Daddy find a flow soon that fits - and that y'all are able to get back to the movies soon!
My hubby works 7am to 3pm but I don't get off until 5pm. It would be so nice to get off at the same time and have that extra time together!
When I see the word beautiful in my head it's B-E-ah-you-tiful. I don't know why, maybe that's how I was taught to spell it LOL.
I too had a ghetto scentsy warmer thing going on until I got one in a white elephant christmas exchange. I don't use scentsy though, I use these homemade soy melts I got from a local trade show ... can't beat .50 cents. :)
Have a great weekend!
I confess...I'm not into the scentsy thing as all. I still prefer a candle; it's more homey and cozy to me.
My first confessional!! I love your blog and I can't wait to participate in my first swap :)
Lee-oh-pah-rrd - That's hilarious! But hey, you spell it right!
I like your Scentsy thing. I have a Scentsy warmer, but was thinking of getting another one. Now I don't have to! I have a candle warmer and a small bowl in the pantry!
And I've pretty much given up worrying over first impressions, I know people think I'm weird when the first meet me. They probably still think I am later but they also begin to notice I'm a genuinly nice person. At least I hope they do.
I know exactly what you mean about the first impressions. I feel the same way. Sometimes a person can be shy, but it comes across as being snobby.
Your confessions this week are great!! Have a great weekend!
That really sucks about the hubs! My husband works normal hours too, and I wish we had more time together in the evenings. It seems when he finally gets home it's not long before we go to bed :( But we are thankful that it is much better than his last job! After he graduated college it took awhile for him to find a "real" job so he was bartending every night until 3 in the morning! I'm a much happier camper now :)
Whenever I type a lot I think "a space lot". It's so simple yet so many people get it wrong a lot of the time!
It's not that ghetto... I love ramekins. Love!
That owl-I also love love love!
Sorry about Big Daddy's new schedule... Hope it gets better soon! :)
i linked up today! :)
6-2 is definitely the best schedule there is. I loved having all afternoon to myself and I would go the movie theater ALL THE TIME and loved not only being the few people there but getting the matinee price.
I don't look forward to the 8-5 days I see in my future.
Le-oh-pard! That cracked me up cuz I think I do the same thing! And Pee-oh-pull (people). Ha!
That ain't ghetto, that's resourceful :) It would be ghetto if you put it on a piece of tin foil on a burner and then walked away from it, to melt all over the place and not care enough to clean it up.
You know, I sometimes resent Dave's crazy schedule (He works a morning shift 8-12 or 6:30-11 and an afternoon shift from 3:30-7 M-F) because it doesn't allow for "normal" evening activities. But your lament of the loss of long afternoons and evenings reminds me how I love having him home for lunch.
love the list and glad to know i'm not the only one to use hubby as an errand boy
I'm definitely excited for Match's upcoming work schedule. Weekend graveyard, but 4 days off during the week! I think we'll take full advantage of the no crowds. But on the positive side for you, now you guys can attend more friend/family functions that happen on the weekends like normal folk. I will definitely miss having my plus one for those types of events.
I understand your first confession...of course, mine's a bit different. Chris used to travel all the time and now that he's out of work, he's home all day long. It's taken some getting used to, but we're hoping we'll be back on our typical schedule soon!
6-2? Jealousy.
Oh, and I sooo have you beat in the ghetto department (as if that's news). I am using a candle warmer as well...but I was too cheap to buy the large lemon cupcake from Target ($17? for a candle? really?), so I bought the $2 votive, used a butter knife to shave the edges down, jammed it into a used baby food jar, and melted it down in that.
On a sidenote, they really should make a lemon cupcake baby food flavor.
First impressions kill me. I always end up beating myself up wondering if I was nice enough, too nice, did I smell? Did the like my outfit? Ugh.
Your scentsy warmer? I wish I'd thought of that!
I'm late to the party but I did post this on Tuesday...
Ha! I made it with 20 second to spare!!
Thanks for the suggestions, I went ahead and fixed it! I forgot I hid my blog at one point :) I thought I enabled email, but I guess I didn't. I claim mommy brain!!!!
I linked up!! :)
