Blog Confessions

Kelly posted her True-Life Confessions and it made me want to confess one of my own. I haven't read blogs in months. {{gasp!}}

I know, I know. I can hear your disapproving gasps from here. I'm a terrible blogger. My life has not been my own since summer began. My sister warned me not to admit this, since it might cause an uproar and you'll all strike my blog and delete me from your Google Reader. But I adore you and wanted you to know why my comments have been absent for so long.

Honestly, I still haven't been able to enjoy the perks of school being in session until today. I took the entire day to relax and catch up on some of my favorite bloggers. I've missed you terribly. Since I didn't do anything today but blog, I thought I'd feature just a few of the posts I read and enjoyed. (In case you missed them too, of course.)



I loved Mique's Advent Calendar post. I just might have to make a few of these for gifts. {{giddy}}



Dancing Queen's Mommy Tag. What a perfect thing to document on your blog to giggle about or read in your Blurb book later.



I was so moved and could totally relate to Ashley's feelings in her Deep Thoughts post.



Julie's thyroid cancer post. Her post makes me want to take better care of my body. I know the caffeine and sugar I pump into it daily isn't doing my body good.



I really like Heather's post on "Underneath It All" where she posts pictures of herself without makeup, hair product, etc. She challenged her readers to do the same.



Denae's Remembering post made me cry. She's so open with her struggles and the lessons she learns from them. It's inspiring.



Martha had her baby, 12 days overdue, and right after being called as Young Women's president in her newly spit ward (church). Huge hugs to her during her time of transition.



Celia Fae's post on highlights cracked me up! It also brought out an insecurity of mine. I'm very literal and honest. I hate that about myself. One of my goals for 2008 was to become a better liar but I've been too overrun with problems and therefore too tired to focus on it. Geeze! Where are my priorities. {{evil laugh}}



I really like Laurel's post Thinking Out Loud. It also struck a cord with me as I am not a competitive person - at all. I don't play social games in real life and never have. It goes back to Celia's post and the fact I'm too honest. I'd rather loose than hurt someone else's feelings or make them feel inferior.

I love it when Laurel says, "What I'm figuring out is that there are some people that aren't liberated by another's light. In fact, they're bugged by it. I don't know. Maybe it gets in their eyes..."

I've been feeling this a lot lately and just want to say that we can't help who we are or our purposes in this life. We all have one and we all pursue it in different ways. What I love about blogging is that we support each other instead of bringing each other down. I wish the people in our real lives would just be happy for each others accomplishments instead of feeling insecure by them.



Look what Christie's man made her, a wall-sized bulletin board. Fabulous!

I could go on and on. It was such a fun day filled with giggles, tears, encouragement, and inspiration. What more could you ask for in a day?
