Friday Confessions

In an effort to get me blogging more (recall one of my New Years Resolutions), i thought i might try a "weekly installment" of something that would enable me to overcome writers block and hopefully be enticing to readers. If you will recall, I started -- but failed to follow-up on -- "my favorite quote of the week" installment. So i am going to try to jump start another series called "Friday Confessions".   

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit upfront that this idea is totally NOT original.  In fact, it is a total rip-off from a friend of a friend's blog, www.thebigpieceofcake.com. If she ever reads this, i hope she realizes what my grandmother -- and a lot of other people -- have said, namely that "copying is a high form of flattery."

Anyway, so here we go.  What do i have to confess? 

1) I have way too many shoes. I am talking about Imelda Marquez number of shoes (sans the gold and diamonds). In fact, i have shoes that i have NEVER worn. I keep them nonetheless because i am determined to wear them!! However, some of these new/never worn shoes aren't "my style" (whatever that means) now. Nonetheless, i am determined to wear them because i loathe wasting money. I also have a hard time getting rid of old shoes. In fact, some of the shoes i have, i have had for 15 years! And i haven't worn them in at least 5 years! Why do i keep them? Because i hate to throw anything away and haven't given them away. Perhaps another New Years resolution will be to give away my old shoes in good condition!

2) Similar to number one, i have too many clothes, including clothes that i have never worn. Clothes i have never worn, include cute little impractical dresses i bought prior to having children. I look at them now and wonder, what was i thinking? However, i still have them and need to give them away or consign them! The rest of the clothes include clothes that i just can't part with, including the business suit i first wore to my first job interview out of graduate school and can still squeeze into! 

3) I am a Feng Shui junky.  Don't laugh! My friends and some family members tell me i am some what of an expert in it.  Of course, they don't exactly call it Feng Shui, but that is what it is.  Anyway, Feng Shui -- as you may know, is the ability to organize any space -- indoor/outdoor, bedroom, bathroom, basement, etc... so that it is functional, "breathe-able" (i.e. the space is clutter free), and visually appealing.  I think it is something akin to what a Landscape Architect does for outdoor spaces and Interior Designers do for indoor spaces sans the expense.  Anyway, a lot of people have this instinct or skill so that would make me one of many.  

Do you have any confessions you would like to share? Please do tell!!!
