Nothing like a little offloading to start the new week, eh?
I have some confessions to make.
1. I’m addicted to Instagram (are you following me there?). A couple of weeks ago, I was up to my eyeballs in everything and barely touched my phone (I know, what??). At 11pm, I felt ‘off’ for not even posting a single picture to Instagram. So I turned on the light in the bedroom and snapped a photo of the sleeping baby, AT THE RISK OF WAKING HIM UP. Insta-vention needed?
2. After posting old pictures of cookies on my new Facebook page welcoming new likers, I couldn’t resist whipping up a fresh batch of lemon cookies.
3. I ate almost ALL of said lemon cookies.
4. I’ve been sneakily drinking coffee from my husband’s stash.
5. I haven’t read a book in at least 4 months.
6. I haven’t started exercising or running even though I was given the all-clear at my 6 week postpartum checkup. That was over a month ago.
7. I really love Billy Joel’s Just The Way You Are.
8. Whenever I sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow to my children, I always feel choked up.
9. I go to YouTube and watch Glee’s version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and get choked up.
10. I have never watched an episode of Glee.
Confess something so I don’t feel so bad!

So cute. I’ve never seen Glee either. And I don’t plan on it!
Yes, to instagram, And cookies.
Natalie recently wrote…Eight Months
I thought I was the only non-Glee watching person!
Please send cookies. I cannot listen to a Helen Reddy song without crying. That’s typical, right?
tracy recently wrote…Awkward Family Photos
What cookies would you like? And I had to Google Helen Reddy. Ahem.
Did my comment go through? Too funny I just posted a stolen picture of Miles sleeping and hoping he did not wake up!
Brittany recently wrote…Sticking to Bedtime in the Summer
It went to spam but I rescued you
Did he? Wake up? Hehe.
Yep. Never seen an episode of Glee either. Never had any intention or desire to watch it either. And I’m a total instagram addict. I can’t help myself. I check it more than Facebook or Twitter combined.
Courtney Kirkland recently wrote…What’s in a Name?
Yes, I check Instagram a lot too! Even in the middle of night when I wake up to nurse
Somewhere Over the Rainbow does that to me too! Also, I recently ate almost a whole package of Oreos. Luckily not in one sitting, but I’m pretty sure it was only in about three…
christine recently wrote…Let The Meldowns Begin
Oreos does that to me too! You can’t possibly just eat one.
I bought a bag of Skittles Friday afternoon and it’s almost empty.
I am in desperate need of a shower.
Robbie recently wrote…I’m Angry and I Know It
Why, I think I love you.
I have a friend who would wake her babies up just to witness the baby stretch.
My confession: I just polished off the rest of the Oreo Cookie Cake leftover from my daughter’s kiddush (celebratory party after she was born). Now it is no longer taunting me from the freezer.
Rivki recently wrote…Baby-Wearing makes things better
I LOVE baby stretches!! Um, Oreo/ Cookie/ Cake all in one is screaming for consumption, so I don’t blame you.
I love lemon cookies and made some not so long ago. This weekend’s choice was orange cookies with an orange glaze. And I am an Insta.gram addict, too. Following you now!!!
Susi recently wrote…Picture Perfect Sunday #15
I think I saw your picture if the orange cookies on Instagram!
Somewhere over the Rainbow does it to me too! have you heard Katherine Mcphee’s version? It’s lovely.
Christine recently wrote…Saturday Musings: My Daughter Observes and Reports
I remember she sang it on American Idol!! Now I have to go YouTube it.
I’m addicted to M&M peanuts. I polished off a giant, Costco-sized bag in less than a week. Now that that is out of the house, I am munching on everything I can get my hands on! I keep telling myself I’ll eat healthier, but even while running and breastfeeding, I have a hard time not gaining weight each week!
I could really go for some M&Ms right now…
Laura recently wrote…A Lot
Hey, you’re running so M&Ms are totally okay!
Mmmm… lemon cookies!
You must watch GLEE, it’s so good. At least I think so…
And well, you know I LOVE Instagram!!
Elaine A. recently wrote…Some stuff about that conference I am going to…
I know you love Instagram, dude! And Glee? Um….I don’t know. If I get desperate for something to watch……
I’m a lousy thief. I can’t steal anything of hubby’s (or yours) and not tell on myself. loved this post girl. just loved it.
vanita recently wrote…Confessions
Hee! I don’t mind at all!
I ate a whole pan of brownies with hubby and the boys gone this week. With them gone, I haven’t done more than 1 load of laundry all week.
AnnMarie recently wrote…Getting Their Groove on Before Bed
Eating brownies and not doing laundry? Sounds like a perfect girls week to me!
Well, I’m glad all these other ladies confessed to stuff so I don’t have to. I’d hate to have to confess…well pretty much all of the stuff that everyone else confessed. I mean ALL of it.
Cynthia Meents recently wrote…Hillbilly School Daze
You must be really full from all the cookies, M&Ms, Oreos and brownies then
Glee sucks! You’re not missing anything.

Mark recently wrote…Hello, Kitty!
That’s good to know!
I’ll confess it, even though I appear to be in the minority: I love Glee. I love the show, love the music. It chokes me up, makes me laugh.
I also admit to having a hard time resisting baked goods.
Co-Pilot Mom recently wrote…Steering the River
Maybe I should give Glee a shot then? If you resist baked goods, I don’t think I can be friends with you
Never saw Glee in my life.
And you can never ever post to little pictures of that bundle of cuteness.
Tinne from Tantrums and Tomatoes recently wrote…I think my kids are trying to tell me something…..
Even if anyone complains about me posting too many kid pictures, I’d just ignore them
I have been waking up in the middle of the night and updating Words with Friends. I mean. I am waking up because I have insomnia. Now, I have something to do.
Maggie S. recently wrote…Taking What Isn’t Yours
Hah! That’s a perfectly reasonable thing to do when you er, can’t sleep. Ahem.
I’ve watched all the episodes of Glee. Is that a confession?
Recently, I decided to start watching Grey’s Anatomy in the middle of the night when I was up with the baby. I’d never watched it before. I finished the last episode. Of the 8th! season yesterday. That’s a little much. But it was so good.
Katie E recently wrote…Monday Listicles: 10 Sounds That Annoy Me
So you’re all Anatomy-ed out right?
And yes, your admission of being a Gleek is a confession
What ? something else new to learn? I am still learning twitter!!
Haha! Instagram is really easy, a no brainer. You just download the app to your iPhone or Android, and when you take a picture, you can share it on Instagram!
Somewhere Over the Rainbow gets me choked up too!
Erin recently wrote…Stupid Swimming Lessons Update
What is it about that song??
I have yet to see an episode of Glee, and I don’t know (or think) I’m going to. I need to get my butt on Instagram more. I have an account but too lazy / busy / crazy to actually do much with it.
Also, that was so totally a chance worth taking, baby is adorable!
KalleyC recently wrote…Joining the Dance Party
I had Instagram on my phone for 2 weeks and only one picture. Then I figured out how to use it (duh) and now I can’t get enough!
(and thanks!)
Never saw an episode of GLEE?! There is hope for you yet. Netflix has ALL the seasons.
Nellie recently wrote…Who Is That On The Instructor Bike? ME! That’s Who!
There is no hope because I don’t have Netflix in Malaysia!
We used to watch Glee all the time and for some reason we haven’t watched in a while. I liked it even if it was a little cheesy.
Okay… who isn’t addicted to Instagram!!
Jackie recently wrote…Shutterfly’s Long Live Summer Photo Contest
I know YOU are
(and I totally don’t blame you!)
lol. Oh, lemon cookies!!! That sounds so, so yummy!
They ARE yummy
That song gets me too…especially the version from the movie 50 First Dates…gets me all teary eyed everytime!
Natalie recently wrote…Mission Possible! A Review & Giveaway
Ok, glad it’s not just me!
I’ve never watched Glee either. And I am fairly sure my addiction to instagram is to intervention level.
Katie recently wrote…The Chaperone {a book review}
I’m glad you’re addicted to Instagram because I can’t get enough of your Eddie and Charlie pictures!
D is two and I still haven’t exercised. Luckily I’m naturally thin but I have the little pouch which annoys me but i’m to lazy and tired to do anything about it but complain ad unforgettably my other mommy friends who are not naturally thin hate me.. you also look naturally thin so I know you won’t hate me..
I did watch Glee.. but I gave it up cold turkey a few seasons ago..
hena tayeb recently wrote…Gifting HGTV’S Genevieve Gordor
I don’t know about being ‘naturally thin’ – my clothes don’t seem to think so hehe.
1. I just bought my very first smartphone. Ever.
2. I’ve only been on Instagram for three days and I’m already addicted to it.
3. I get choked up when I sing “You Are My Sunshine” to Lil’ Bit.
4. I think your new web site is adorable.
Kristin recently wrote…Friday Tapas: The Constipated Edition
1. ABOUT. TIME.
2. I don’t blame you.
3. I sing that to my boys too!
4. Aw, thank you!
Glee is one of my favorite shows. Also, you know I’m an Insta-addict. And, I believe lemon cookies are better than exercising. But possibly, you need one to enjoy the other.
Greta recently wrote…Project 365: Week 30 (Kid Free Edition)
So if I exercise, I get to eat more lemon cookies. That’s good logic. Except I only have time to bake and eat. Hehe. (see, excuses)
I love the confessions! I, too, am addicted to instagram. It’s by far my favorite social media tool right now. Love pics & all the captions.
Elena recently wrote…Interactive Television Circa 1986
Yes, I agree! I spend way more time on it than I do on Facebook and Twitter these days.
I’ve never watched Glee either. Nor have I worked since before I got pregnant. Send some of those cookies over yonder, will ya?
Rach (DonutsMama) recently wrote…Monday Listicles: La La La I Can’t Hear You!
I would if I still had some and my greedy little mouth hadn’t eaten them all!
(you look great, by the way, just sayin’)
Mama A,
I agree. I cannot listen to Somewhere Over the Rainbow
without feeling all emotional. Even thinking about it….I am get a bit weepy… Xx
My Inner Chick recently wrote…11 Things I’ve Learned After Your Execution
It’s one of those songs, that no matter who sings it, will always move you.
Confessions are wonderful and I love yours. Well done.
Somewhere Over The Rainbow chokes me up too.
Tonya recently wrote…The Yucky Side
Thank you. And there’s something about that song, I’m telling ya!
My confession? I always have to hold myself not to lick the screen if I look at all your pins on Pinterest, woman!
Maureen recently wrote…Friends Who Workout Together, Party Together
Haha!! It’s okay, it’s just licking, no calories. A little messy, but no calories.
I used to love Glee, but I just have no time to watch T.V. anymore.
Barbara recently wrote…Noah 7 Months
I can understand that!
An instavention – I love that.
I love this confessional idea – you should do a linky with it!
PS: I hope you didn’t wake the baby but if you did that pic sure was worth it.
Ado recently wrote…Sounds That Really Bother Me
Doing one linky a month is enough, thank you very much!
Did not wake the baby, fortunately.
I may have skipped real food at lunch so I could justify my scone eating.
angela recently wrote…Breaking Through Teacher Stagnation
I think I love you.
Love your sleeping baby pic–sometimes I still go in and check on the kids at night just to watch them sleep.
Asianmommy recently wrote…An Evening at Ravinia
I do that with my toddler
My confessions: These days I only look at Twitter & Facebook in the middle of the night when I’m too tired to contribute and I miss having a lunch break to look at blogs. Oh yeah, I also hate Glee…do I have to give up my girl card now?
Leslie recently wrote…{Guest Post} Eco-Friendly Tips from Pepper Design Blog
Haha if you give up your girl card for hating Glee, then I’d have to give mine up for not even bothering to try watch it (and hate it probably)!
That song gets me every single time. I love it But yeah, never watched Glee either. No desire to.
I will save my confessions for DM’s.
Haha yes, yes you will.
I love that song…I get choked up too when I listen to it. Also, I love Glee…that is my confession, I can’t help it
Don’t feel bad about not exercising yet…it’s SO hard with a new baby! You’ll get there, friend.
