For example, my secret - I am a self-professed Pit Bull Junkie! Love love love the breed and can't ever live my life without at least one in the house to snuggle with. That's right, I own a "pit bull type" dog. Not a thug. Not a gang banger. Not a criminal. Have a degree from USC. Live in a VERY nice neighborhood. Married to a PharmD. Well educated adults who own a GREAT dog. Okay, honestly, the three cats own us, but we're above the dog in the pecking order in this house. So that's my secret.

My secret: I love my cat so much that if she died, I think I'd cry harder than if my sister did. This is not an exaggeration. Yesterday, my mom asked me if I'd cry more when my cat died than when she did. I love my mom a hell of a lot and I honestly didn't know. I said it would probably be the same. I seriously love my cat!
Thanks Jeffrey!!
ReplyDeleteJoanna, your secret made me sad! I know what it's like to have baby secrets, I think that's why it touched me. If I had a magic wand, I would wave it over your tummy and give you one guaranteed!
Congratulations! I guess I'm a +2 for being an old follower and +2 for my secret which is that I am a self-diagnosed make-up junkie! I own way to many eyeshadows and mascaras and foundations and lip sticks and glosses and I always spend my money buying more! It's a little bitty secret, but it's a secret!@

My secret: I love Oprah! (I'm a guy, so it's very hush hush!) I DVR her show and watch it on the weekends...don't judge! lol
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Old follower, sidebar, sharing a secret:
ReplyDeleteI cried more over Hedwig and Dobby than I did Dumbledore! What can I say, I have a thing for animals!
Awesome on the 100 followers, congratulations!!!!!
Paige - one of my bestfriends is just like you! I'm totally jealous of her. I wish that I had her make-up collection. I love when we have a night out and I get ready at her place because she lets me use whatever I want and take a few home with me!
ReplyDeleteColone - Okay, we must have been twins in a former life because I can repeat every line in that movie. I saw it over twenty times in the theater and then watched it everyday when it came out on video. My bestie Leslie and I would have emails back and forth just quoting lines from that movie...I stole my brother's DVD because I wore mine out! So I'm popping it in right now when I'm done responding!! I had the BIGGEST crush on Oded Fehr.
Jamie - that is an awesome secret!! I love that you, man that you are!, DVR her show and watch it on the weekends!
Words Crafter - I cried more at the end of Chamber of Secrets because Richard Harris was dead! I didn't like the new Dumbledore all that much. How bad is that? And I think having a thing for animals makes you a better person! ;-)
Here's my secret - I steal my kids' Halloween candy!! Yes, I'm a bad mother, although if you think about it, less candy means less cavities (for them at least) so I'm good with it. +2

Awesome contest!
Yay for 100! That's awesome! =)
ReplyDeleteMy secret: I love scarves! Love, love, love them! Must have a bunch in my closet. But I only wear the same black one every time. I left it in a restaurant once and drove all the way back for it, I love it so much. Dunno why I don't ever wear the others...
=+4
Congrats on the big 100! And thanks for holding this super cool contest! :)
ReplyDeleteMy secret: I'm one of those early to bed, early to rise types. Getting up early for work every weekday is so ingrained in me that even on the weekends I'm up by no later than 8am. I just can't "sleep in" like I used to...

Hmmm, a secret you say?
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriends and I used to stay up and have Star Wars marathons in college: my now husband, then friend couldn't belive he met a girl who liked Star Wars. Love at nerd sight :p
And I change my socks to match whatever shirt I'm wearing...though I think that's closer to a quirk than a secret.
2 + 2 for me :D
Hi Jennie, congrats on 100 followers! I'm an old follower and I'll tell you a secret (+4 for me). Here it is: in real life, I look amazingly like my avatar Lain!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteRach
Secret, you say?
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see those animal abuse and welfare commercials on tv, I start crying and then pull out my check book. I regularly donate to The HSUS and Peta.
What secret could I possibly have? Oh, here's one. I have not seen any of the Harry Potter movies from beginning to end nor read any of the books. Don't know exactly why. Just never really had the desire to.

My secret: I don't lick my fingers, and others who do make me cringe. Something about it I just find gross. All my friends do it, but I can't stand it... it's my quirk!
There you have it! I hope that was worth $50!
Such a fun contest! Congrats on making it to 100 followers--you deserve so many more :) Let's see, a secret...I bought a bag of Milky Ways and a bag of Butterfingers this week because they were on sale after Halloween. And I'm not sharing them.

ReplyDeleteHmmm, what's a secret I can share on here? Okay, here's one secret: I'm still scared of the dark. I tell my kids not to be, and then I have to have tons of lights on whenever it's nighttime right up until I'm ready to go to sleep.

Okay, a not so super secret is: I put 4 heaping tablespoons in my coffee. And my breakfasts always cocoa puffs or cocoa pebbles. I think my confession is: I'm addicted to sugar.
I also listen to Brit-Brit on my ipod when I work out. :)
And I too cry during those SPCA commercial with the poor injured animals. (so for the above secret-keepers...they're not alone.)
Love,
Lola
This is SOOO weird. I thought I left a comment. I MUST have left a comment because I keep getting emails when someone else leaves one. Man, I'm confused. Er, I'm an old follower! Erm, and I recall asking last time I 'commented' if we get points for facebooking?
ReplyDeleteOk, secret about myself. If I wear a top for even five minutes, and take it off again, I have to put it in the wash. For some reason, I 'feel' like it's dirty and can't bring myself to put it back in the cupboard! Eeek! I can't believe I just admitted that. Anyway, what's that? 4 points for me! Unless I get points for facebooking! Let me know!! :o)
Even weirder? I could SWEAR that I replied to you more than once because I kept checking back and this was gone. I put an extra four in for you for Facebook. I'll be pulling a winner today!
ReplyDeleteNew follower referred by the wonderful Lola Sharp.
ReplyDeleteMy secret is that I'm obsessed with the British royals. Although my dream of becoming the Queen of Engand was shattered this week, I'm still excited about the wedding ;)
