Confessions

1. I make my kids drink soy milk because the proverbial “they” said humans can’t digest milk properly. I don’t drink it because I think it smells strange.

4. I draw and write things I love, then rip them up because I’m afraid someone else will find them and not.

5. I have fantastic hearing, but I pretend not to hear things just to hear them said again.

6. I love to hear compliments, but I have no idea how to accept them. I deny them incessently to compensate.

7. I don’t have a favorite movie.

8. I throw away greeting cards.

9. Creativity and beauty are two things I’ve always been told I posess, have never felt, and have always longed for.

10. I do unorthodox things just to try to bond with my dad: played Freshman football, worked on cars, smoked cigars, drank red wine.

36. I would rather see the natural beauty in the jungles or deserts of Africa than the man-made sights of Europe.

38. I put statues of angels in my kids’ room “to watch over them,” and truly feel better with them there.
