Confessional: Two Truths & A Lie Edition
This interactive post contains two true confessions and one completely false one. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read the three confessions and vote on which one you think is the lie. The truth shall be revealed... eventually.
Confession #1: If I didn't have such a fear of other people hearing me sing, I would record a parody LP and send it to Weird Al. The only one that will ever hear these re-worked songs is my husband. He calls me Weird Alice. But I have a tremendous fear when it comes to letting other people hear me - or being the center of attention in any way, but that's for another time. I do turn into Celine Dion in front of a sold out Vegas crowd when I'm in my car, though. Chest thumping and all. With the revised words to those songs, of course.
Confession #2: If you were to look into my closet, you would see a line of outfits hanging at the ready. And I do mean outfits. Pants, tops, socks, and underoos, everything but the bra and shoes. (I wear the same shoes almost every day. Oh the woes of working in a production shop - no fun shoes!) Each day has it's own color hanger. Today, for example, is pink. Tuesday is blue, etc etc. When you wake up before the sun is even knocking at the horizon's door, this is an awesome method. You don't have to think, no fumbling in the dark for a coordinated outfit, no sniffing pants to see if they're clean enough. Just reach in, grab the next hanger, and you're golden. And just in case I'm feeling extra bloaty and ucky, there's a wooden hanger in the emergency "I feel like crap, but I'm still professional!" outfit (that'd be the pants with the elastic waist and the empire shirt that allows maximum comfort while disguising my stomach).
Confession #3: I am a Vera Bradley junkie. I tried to avoid it, tried hating it, tried mocking the brand, tried telling myself that the stuff was just fug. It didn't work. I'm hopelessly addicted and it is one of the most visited websites on my laptop. There is an email chain between myself and the executive assistant here at work about how the marketing people at Vera Bradley just somehow know when we get paid. Without fail, I will get an email for a sale or new product on the Monday before payday. This month is especially evil -- they're rolling out new colors and we have three paydays in March. Do I need a new purse or a new lunchbox or anything else? No. Will I still order something next Thursday night in the new blue/lime color pattern? Yeah, probably.
Poll Two Truths & A Lie
** ** ** ** **
There are two very important polls for you to participate in this week. First is the above poll, which was inspired by the series of entries last season by gratefuladdict. I always liked the idea, and boy howdy, that was way harder than I expected!
The other poll you need to participate in this week is the therealljidol poll, which goes up Monday evening. We're getting down towards the end, so every vote counts!
thnx!
P.S. Pardon the typos. Spellcheck still hasn't been activated on this computer. I tried to catch 'em all!
