Share a secret about yourself....

I moan about taking my nieces to American Girl Place, but the real reason is because I want one myself. (One of the historic ones.)

I love fast food.

I think nose rings (the tiny stud kind) are cool.

Sometimes I say no to a social engagement because I rather hang out with my cat.
 
I recently got the lap band surgery and only 3 people at work know, plus my mom and sister (and a few friends). I have lost 36 lbs and people at :scared1:work are asking what I am doing to lose the weight. I tell them "I cut out bread and eat smaller portions" I tell my best friend at work "if they only knew!" :rotfl2:

Congrats! VSG for me, I'm nine months postop. Best thing i ever did for myself physically.

I have a severe, debilitating phobia of heights. I love to hike, but it has to be on interior trails and I have to lie down in the car so that I cannot see how high up we are. I once saw a man nearly drop his daughter over a railing on the second floor in the mall. He caught her by one foot, but I have never gotten over seeing her go over that rail. I was more scarred than the kid. :blush:
 
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who hates showering (yes, I do it anyway) and isn't too broken up when DH hits the road for work!

As for my secrets...I'm a grown woman and I'm still terrified that whatever it is that lives under the bed is going to get me after my middle of the night washroom run, so when DH isn't home I practically vault back into bed so it can't reach my ankles.

Oh, and while yes, I technically am allergic to grass, it probably really wouldn't prevent me from mowing the lawn.

pearlieq, do you remember the "bloody mary" thing? I forget what it was (something about turning around, holding your breath then look in the bathroom mirrow in the dark). I'm almost 50 and will never ever ever go into a dark bathroom and look in the mirror. Ever. Even passing by. I never told anyone this and these:

I also remember a scary movie when I was younger where the 'devil' was looking through the window, through the drapes and it was 2 red eyes (lights). I never ever look out the window or at the drapes when I'm laying in bed.

I think my car gets mad at me if I complain so I rub the dash board and apologize. And I am constantly knocking on wood because I believe that saying. :crazy2:

Dang I'm strange! :sad: :rotfl:

OMG, I think I saw that same movie and that one scene scared the hell out of me. If the one you are talking about is the same one I'm thinking of, it was called 'Something Evil' and it aired around 1972.

I'm so scared of heights that just reading that made my bones hurt!!! Seriously!!! It's like this crazy flash of panic & pain that shoots thru by bones.

I work on the 4th floor & can't walk anywhere near the railing. I hug the wall & refuse to walk on the other side. It makes me dizzy just knowing that balcony is right outside my office...
Ugh, my palms are sweaty. :scared1:

My favorite comfort snack when I'm hormonal, is nacho cheese doritos crunched up and mixed in cottage cheese. And I keep old episodes of Matlock and Columbo on the DVR to watch if I'm bored and home alone.

Yes! The mirror freaks me out in the middle of the night too! I never look.

I've done Doritos and cream cheese--not too far off. And I DVR Murder She Wrote.

Glad to know our secret oddities really aren't so odd after all! :thumbsup2
 
very few people know this, but i have a HUGE hole in my septum from using flonase. i'm seriously afraid my nose is going to collapse, like michael jackson's after all those plastic surgeries. this is one of my biggest fears. ENT says the surgery to correct has a LOW success rate-about 50%. i'm praying someone makes a breakthrough before my nose falls off.

when i was 6 years old, i saw the original "house of wax" starring vincent price. i've always LOOOOVED horror movies, and never been scared by one, but this one scared me SO bad, that for the next 22 years (the amount of time i lived in that house after i saw the movie), i reached around the corners and turned on lights before entering the room. i couldn't walk into a dark room.

Oh, I'm so sorry!! I always heard that using nose spray was addictive, but I didn't realize it caused so much damage! :(

Oh, I remember us talking about doing this at sleep-overs, but nobody got up the actual nerve to do it!!
 
Hi, my name is Ponygirl and I am a speed demon. I like to drive really fast. Over 100 mph with the top down on my car and the stereo cranked up all the way.

When not pretending I am a Nascar driver, I am otherwise a normal middle aged lady with a clean driving record.
