It's apparently a really popular thing in blog land right now to do confession posts. So today I'm joining in the fun and linking up with Rissy for I Confess!
I confess......that I have a pretty unpopular opinion about the Casey Anthony verdict. First off, do I think she murdered her child? Yes. Do I think there was enough evidence before the jury to convict her on murder charges? No. Do I think they should have gone after her on child abandnment or neglect? Obviously. But I have to tell you that I take some solace in the fact that a jury can make a decision based on the evidence, and not just on the media and popular opinion. I for one do not want the law dictated by the opinions of the news media and an uninformed public. That's how really bad things happen....can we say Nazi Germany? Phew. Sorry...soapbox over.
I confess.....that even though I said I would have no sweets until after the half marathon (July 31, but who's counting?) I cheated last night. In my defense, it was at church and it was this cupcake that was super fancy---I'm talking cupcake wars fancy here people. I had to try it. Back on the wagon tomorrow.
I confess......that last week on Friday Night Lights when Tim Riggins chased Tyra down in the parking lot and said, "Don't go. Please don't go." I answered for her. Because in my mind he was talking to me. Sigh. I am in love with a fictional ex-con alcoholic. Turns out my love life in my imagination is as ridiculous as the real one!
I confess......my poor hair needs a trim and my eyebrows need waxed. I mean something fierce. Thank goodness for my appointment with Miss Texas this weekend. Yay for no longer looking like a hobo.
I confess....that sometimes when I watch shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" I think to myself, "Wait a minute....SHE'S engaged and I'm not? She's like the most terrible person ever in life and someone wants to marry her??" Great attitude, Tiffany. I'm working on it.
I confess....that I'm a grammar snob. There. I said it. I'm sorry people, but there is a difference between their (meaning owned by other people) and there (meaning a location) and they're (meaning they are) and there is a difference between its (meaning belonging to it) and it's (meaning it is) and there is a difference between your (meaning belonging to you) and you're (meaning you are). Soap box #2 over. I'm really needing an attitude adjustment!

I loved your confession post. You have very good points about confession #1 and confession #3 is hilarious!!!
Great post. And, I agree with you completely on the Casey Anthony verdict. Maybe it's (not its) the defense attorney in me...but it was the right decision. Do I think she killed her daughter? Probably. Do I know for sure? No, because the prosecutor didn't prove it. However, after reading Facebook comments the entire day of and after, I am so glad there are jurors out there who will do the right thing and only look at the evidence presented...sadly, I'd rather have them on my jury then many many of my Facebook friends. (okay, who needs the attitude adjustment now? :)). I've stayed fairly quiet with it all though since it seems like I am fighting a losing battle talking sense on the issue.
Great - great - great post.
#1 - Totally agree. As I was reading it, I somehow was having flashbacks to the twins making us watch "The Life of David Gale."
#2 - You would be silly to not eat a fancy cupcake when one is place right in front of you. Mmm.
#3 - Maybe there is a real life Tim Riggins for you out there somewhere. ;) You know. Oh, you know.
#6 - Fact. It's (not its) amazing how very intelligent people lose their (not they're...or there) credibility with those simple errors.

You crack me up! I am guilty of #5. Even though I am married, when I watch "Bridezillas" I can't help but feel sorry for the guy and also wonder why he hasn't packed his bags.
Also, #4...My eyebrows currently link me to Teen Wolf family!
I completely agree with your take on the Casey Anthony trial!
I'm a grammar snob, too. I try to overlook it on blogs, but I can't help it. It makes me cringe. Sometimes if I'm in a hurry I'll have a typo or two, but as soon as I notice it I edit!!
Okay loved the blog and confessions. As you know I also dream of a Tim Riggins carrying me off into the sunset as well! Man is he HOT!! Love that you call out the fact that you are a grammar snob, however funny that I one of your favorite friends is terrible with this! I was just thinking today that I could really use a few more grammar/English classes to help me with my writing! One would think between you, college roomie, and blonde oklahoma girl that I would have all the teaching/fixing I need!

Dude, I think the same thing about Say Yes to the Dress. And then I feel like an old maid because most of those girls are 19 or 20. Fml.
im totally a grammar snob too, but the funny thing is, i used to be SOOO good, and now im not so much. i think attempting to study other languages can hinder one's english skills!!!! LOL!
and my eyebrows need desperate help too :) im right there with ya! have a great day!
I know this is extremely belated, but I just now came across your blog.
I have to confess...I can totally climb on board the grammar snob train myself! My boss (lovingly, we claim) calls me Shakespeare and sends me in multiple times per day to read over her e-mails before sending them out. LOL. Mixing up they're, there and their are my biggest pet peeves!
Tim Riggins is just about the hottest thing this summer! HA! I just LOVE Friday Night Lights.
