It’s Monday, so you know the drill. Read past Monday (or Sunday!) posts in January, February, March and April to get caught up. Also remember to keep the secrets coming and let other people know about the project. Submissions have slowed a bit so I may start posting monthly instead of weekly.
1.I got an abortion last week. The guy hurt me badly, so I texted him to tell him I was pregnant and getting an abortion because I was more concerned about my own feelings than his, and he responded by saying, “Well it’s done now, cheers.” The reason I didn’t have the baby is because it was his child.
2 Sometimes I really dislike the fact that my husband is the only man who will ever see me naked. I mean, it sounds terrible, but part of me really wants someone else to appreciate it. Just for vanity’s sake, I guess.
3. I didn’t have my first kiss until I was 21.
4. I had sex with my husbands best friend. It happened before my husband and I got together and he doesn’t know. And I hope he never finds out.
5. I told my fiance I loved baseball when we first started dating to impress him. He still thinks I like it but the truth is, I’d rather watch paint dry than watch a game.
6. I hate it when people I don’t like are nice to me because then it makes me feel incredibly guilty. I know how awful this makes me sound, that’s why it’s my secret.
7. I cried harder watching Grey’s Anatomy than I did at my aunts funeral.
8. I get up before my boyfriend so I can sneak on some make up before he sees me. He always thinks I’m going to the bathroom but I’m really throwing on some concealer!
9. When I eat oreo’s, I scrape all the icing off with my teeth and throw the cookies out. My wife says it’s such a waste and thinks it’s completely bizarre but oreo icing is goddamn delicious.
10. I hate all the popular blogs.
In other news, life has been crazy busy lately. Crazy- three hours of sleep- getting up six minutes before I’m going to work- all encompassing- never ending sort of crazy. This past weekend I went to one of my dearest friends bachelorette party. I had organized a city wide Amazing Race project for teams to compete in and later that night we went to a piano bar to dance until we sweated our mascara off celebrate. I’ve tried to think of how I could explain the night but I think this picture says more than I ever could. 
Please note that I’m barefoot in a bar. Standing on a floor sticky with the residue of a drink called Tall Paul (but really should be called “dangerously delicious blueberry vodka, rum and ginger ale drink that will result in thinking I know how to rap. And send really long emails to people“- sorry about that). Also take note of the broken Mardi Gras beads and mask- party accessories. And my tiara- that had nothing to do with Mardi Gras but that I felt necessary to wear. And lastly, let’s note that it takes a special kind of drunk girl to take pictures of her feet. And an even more bizarre, sober girl to feel like the internet needs to see such pictures. I hope you had a weekend as memorable and lovely as mine.
Yeah…I’m a special kind of girl, too, because I’ve got a number of pictures of my feet like that on my blog! BTW…I LOVE your shoes!!!
Love the shoes!!!
You know it’s not a good party until the clothes start coming off.
I love that photo!!! It takes a special kind of girl to appreciate it so much!!
I’ve got drunk feet pics too! Well, my feet weren’t drunk… ah I know you know what I mean. :)
Your shoes are so cute! I want them!
You know, if funerals and other sad occasions came with soundtracks we’d all react appropriately. I mean, really. Who knows what to do if the music doesn’t prompt us? Right?
also. For years I didn’t know if I what I said was funny or not. This coincidentally, was after laugh tracks went the way of 8 tracks.
There’s no need to feel bad about this. Perphas a slide show w/music is a wise choice for funerals.
I’m not a feet person, but they are pretty! Love the pedicure.
love the secrets!
oh, AND the pedi!
YES i love those shoes.
LOVE the shoes! That picture definitely explains a lot but glad you had an awesome time!
Those shoes are too adorable.
Love the picture, that’s a perfect sum up!
Do you know the disease that lives on bar floors?
Brandy…
Ps- I loved your email.
I heart your shoes.
And non-stories like this make me want to move to Canada and tag along to all your adventures.
The fact that you plan city wide bachelorette amazing race inspired games is another reason I adore you with Stephanie-like wide-eyed astonishment.
FIRST of all, i was full on MESS watching grey’s last week- so whoever posted that little diddy? i get it.
secondly, i know those shoes miss brandylu. they were part of the reason i fell in love with you a couple years ago when we first “met.” and for some reason, i take pictures of my feet/shoes in bars too. it’s kind of a thing. and reason #459 we are soul sisters.
The e-mail was awesome.
I love love LOVE those shoes.
Second of all, when I watched Grey’s I have been very emotional lately. It brings back all kinds of memories and I am so happy they are showing everything the “real” way it can happen instead of everyone behaving perfectly and being all supportive all the time. It meant a lot to me to be able to see that not everyones cancer story is all wrapped up neatly with a little bow. And yes, I do realize it is just a tv show, but it really helped me to see that.
Where in the heck did those shoes come from!? I want a pair!
YOUR SHOES! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I FEEL COMPELLED TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS.
If we knew each other in real life, I suspect we would be best friends based on your shoes alone. You rule.
(Also: I am not some crazy internet stalker, I just really love shoes.)
LOL@number 20′s secrets. I tend to feel the same things, not all just the snobby ones who don’t comment back.
I mean number 10 lol
Awe, but they’re cute feet. And the shoes! Swoon!
I like this little combo of secret Monday and your weekend recap. Nice balance!
haha sounds like a fabulous bachelorette party, and by fabulous i mean ridiculous and awesome. :)
Those shoes are sooo Minnie Mouse and i LOVE them!!!
Hee! Looks like it was a great party.
Yeah, I cried for the last half of Grey’s….
As for #9, if it makes you happy, I say it’s not a waste.
Hahahaha, I like the hating all the popular blogs one too…hilarious.
Heh – I love the how you toss off “I had organized a city wide Amazing Race project for teams to compete in” as an afterthought.
I think I should probably have that tiara. It is so me.
I’m very curious about this city wide Amazing Race project…
Love that picture! And the shoes! :)
Shoes are cute, (minus the heel bit for me).
