confessions
1. my favorite spanish word is miercoles. it means wednesday. it is pronounced: me-air-co-less. with emphasis on the 'air'. i can't think of a more perfect weird word to translate into the weirdest named day of the week.
2. i will skip through the ends of songs on my ipod just so it will not add to the playcount. i only do this if i have already listened to this song compulsively. like, 20 times or something. and i know nobody would care except i would see the excessive playcount and be embarrassed.
3. the night i met ben i believe it was just after midnight and i've never known which day to mark as the day we met. i always remember it as being saturday night but i'm pretty sure it was sunday morning. and, almost 6 years later, i still haven't reconciled this.
4. the cantor who officiated our wedding didn't recite the vows i asked him 3 (maybe 4) times to recite (in our meetings, at the rehearsal, etc). he told me he would and then didn't. i didn't want anything crazy, just the 'i emily take you ben...' i cannot wait until one day we renew our vows just so i can simply say the vows i wanted to say on our wedding day. i am trying to be better about this one but every time i think about it i feel as though this one man made a conscious decision to deprive me of something that was really important to me on the one day of my life which would never be done over. and i think he did it because he couldn't have cared less about our wedding. or me. and it makes me boiling angry...
5. there are times i'm convinced i love my cats more than i will love my future children.
6. i have never felt, for any man, what i feel for my husband. i have loved. i have lusted. i have been in love. but what i have and feel now is incomparable. true story.
7. i have the life i have always dreamed of. and it scares the crap out of me...if for no other reason than i cannot bear the thought of any part of my world changing. even though that is an inevitable reality.
8. i believe in god but also believe he has more important things to do and/or worry about than sporting events, how you keep your house, what kind of plates you eat on, who you marry, etc. i believe god wants us to all be good people. that's it. what could be more important?
