Friday Confessional 6.10.11

Bless me Mamarazzi for I have sinned...that's right folks it's Friday, so get yourself in order for some Friday Confessional!

I confess...that I've done more Friday Confessionals with you all than I've done honest to goodness Catholic Confessions.  If we're counting I've gone to confession a sum total of ONE time since completing the RCIA program at our church more than a year ago. 

I confess...the one time I did go to Catholic Confession the priest was old and did not speak English well.  I told him it was my first time at confession and for some reason he thought I was a teenager.  He explained to me that "most of the childrens your age confessing for things like not cleaning their rooms, getting the bad grades, breaking the curfews, or not listening to they mothers."  I swear this is a true story and I so enjoyed him thinking that my 31 year old self was a teenager that I didn't correct him.  I admitted that my room WAS dirty (b/c that was true) and that I don't always listen to my mother (b/c I was 31 and a grown up).  The priest liked me so much that he only gave me one Our Father as penance and when I related this story to Pavlov he was very upset and not amused, as he always got lots of Hail Marys and Our Fathers because I guess he was a bad kid.  As you can see I take organized religion very seriously and did really go through the RCIA program to get married in the Catholic Church because it is the prettiest and I wanted nice wedding photos. 

I confess...that I am over this heat wave in NJ.  This hot and humid is not working for me and it is screwing up my workout plans, so I'm ready for it to ease back into late spring, then transition into early summer before it gets hot as the firey sun around here.

I confess...I really wanted red velvet cake the other night and that for a hot second I actually contemplated going and getting our wedding cake topper, which is red velvet to defrost it so I could have some red velvet cake.  The ONLY reason I did not do this is it was about 10 pm and the cake is in the freezer at my parents house and I didn't feel like going over there and I realized that it would take too long for the cake to defrost for me to eat it that night. 

I confess...I am really excited for dinner tomorrow night.  I'm meeting up with some awesome ladies for dinner in NYC.  I haven't seen one since October and the other since July, so it makes it even more awesome.

I confess...I should be working but I am writing this blog entry at work...it appears that I am actively engaged in writing an evaluation report because I am typing away, but I'm typing confessions, not psychological observations.

I confess...I did my first speaking engagement for the American Heart Association last night and I liked it.  It felt good to share my story and inspire people.  The audience seemed engaged and I'm excited about being this year's Survivor Ambassador for the Heart Walk.


I confess...I'm super pissed at XM Radio this week.  The other morning I noticed that a lot of my stations are now actual radio stations and I am NOT pleased.  Why in the hell am I paying money to have an XM membership if they are just going to play radio stations that I can get for free?  I got XM so I could avoid commercials, idiotic morning DJs and their stupid opinions, call ins from equally stupid listeners, and traffic reports...yet here I am getting commercials, idiots, and traffic from all over the country, which makes me even madder, because I don't give a rat's ass about where traffic is backed up in Nashville!

Now, I want to know, what should you be confessing this week?
