I Should Be Ashamed Of Myself

Admit it. We all have things we do that we'd rather other people not know about.  Things we are slightly ashamed of yet proud of at the same time.  Things that if our friends caught us doing we'd never hear the end of it.  For some people it's eating disgusting combinations like Snickers and queso (I had a friend in high school who did this) for others it's the movies they watch or the books they read.  Everybody has something they'd rather not share with the world.

Well in true blogger fashion (and because I have NOTHING else in my head to blog about) I give you:

Things I should be ashamed of but I'm not!

I still listen to Hanson

When this trio of brothers first came on the scene, I was in jr. high. For some reason no one I was friends with thought they were cool and therefore I could never express my love for Taylor Hanson.  I did however, secretly buy their CDs and listen to them in my room when I was home alone.  Now that I'm a big bad adult, I blare their music proudly (but only if I'm driving by myself).  C'mon y'all, Mmmbop is pretty catchy! I also still listen to NKOTB…..don't give me those judgey eyeballs!

I still have a security blanket
One thing about my Mema that I will always remember is that she had these super soft and silky pillowcases at her house.  I don't know how old I was when this fascination started but apparently I had such an appreciation for these things that I refused to let one leave my hand for awhile.  30 years later I still have one tucked under my pillow.  I don't tote it around the house or take it on vacation or anything but something about the way it feels and the memories that are attached to it always seem to make me feel better when I've had a rough day.  You know some of y'all still have that stuffed bear that you still sleep with on occasion.  This is my version!

I love movies and tv shows that are geared towards the 14 and under demographic
Last summer I was browsing Netflix and got the best surprise ever!

All 13 episodes were on Netflix and I may have watched them all in one sitting. I loved these books as a little girl and used to rent the VHS tapes from the library.  Talk about memories!
Also, last week Taylor wrote this post and I found myself on youtube watching the 1st season of this show:

I remember wanting to go to summer camp SO bad after watching this and I was sure I'd meet my 7th grade soulmate and we'd write letters to each other and have a hot and heavy hand holding romance.  I also thought that Rhett the boy's counselor was like, totally hot!

I'm still afraid of the dark (and monsters that hide under my bed)
I don't know what it is but I am still very afraid of the dark.  Every night I turn off the lights, run full speed to my bed (the whole 3 steps) and switch on the lamp until I get settled.  Anytime I'm coming up from the basement I take off at full speed up the stairs because I am 100% certain that there is a monster or vampire or something behind me ready to attack.  I'm going to blame it on the fact that I watched this show growing up:

Ok so now that I've put myself out there, it's your turn.  What are some things you should be ashamed?
