Day 24: Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
This would take for-ever and honestly I would do to my husband and the list would all be sappy love songs with a few alternative ones thrown in for good measure.
Day 25: The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
One reason? I think I have more than one reason. My family, friends, amazing husband and child.
Day 26: Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
I mean who doesn't think at one time or another that life is too rough? But seriously, life is so worth living.
Day 27: What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Hands down, Madelyn. Need I say more?

30 Days of Honesty
I know I haven't done so well with this blog... Its been busy, I know, I know I keep using that as an excuse but its kind of true. Well, its completely true... so once again, here's a bunch of answers. BUT first I need to get a coffee and swat my cat off the counter... do you own a cat? They are the devil incarnate I swear!
Okay here goes.
Day 16: Someone or something you definitely could live without.
Someone is easy, but highly inappropriate to blast over the internet. So a thing? One thing... I could live without an exercise stationary bike. Those things are horrible and if I did indeed own one, I would never ride it. Ever. LOL
Day 17: A book you’ve read thatchanged your views on something.
I think I would have to say "Eat, Pray, Love" I've never seen the movie but read the book years ago. Worth the read, especially when you are wondering about yourself in anyway. Yeah, I didn't get to travel the world and eat, eat, eat... and do yoga but I think it made me look at my life a little differently. Maybe appreciate the things I do have and let go of the things I never needed in the first place.
Day 18: Your views on gay marriage.
EVERYONE has the right to get married. Who cares, gay, straight? What does it matter, really? If someone wants to enter into a forever, binding contract/agreement (did I just refer to marriage as a contract, really?) then by all means GO FOR IT! Marriage is hard work. Something forever changing and evolving because lets be honest nothing, and I mean nothing, stays the SAME forever.
Day 19: What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
Religion - not for everyone. I think there is a something bigger than us, do I need to go to church to make myself believe that, no. Just my opinion. We don't go to church, we didn't even get Madelyn baptized. Something I think about from time to time. Will she one day wish we had? I mean her Dad isn't. I don't know. Politics. Well, I am being honest right? [insert shameful look on writers face] I don't follow to closely. I guess I've never really thrown myself into it. I vote. Does that count?
Day 20: Your views on drugs and alcohol.
To each their own, really. I mean who doesn't enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a hard day? And whose to judge the person that enjoys a little toke at the end of a hard day? I don't discriminate against either. BUT I don't believe that living and breathing alcohol or drugs is okay either. Occassional, social is okay. No chemicals though. Is that a double standard?
Day 21: (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
Do everything in my power to help said best friend out. Fight or no fight.
Day 22: Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
I wish I never had pierced my eyebrow. What a pain that was! Used to always get infected because of the area I worked in. Its out now, and looking back at pictures its so weird to see.
Day 23: Something you wish you had done in your life.
100% wish I had gone to University. Seriously, worst mistake I ever made was not going.

30 Days of Honesty
Wow, okay I know I am like a week behind but I will try and get as many done this morning as I can... PLUS give you an update on the Pooper :) First things first...
Day 11: Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
Okay, way to start the morning off. My honest straightforward opinion or that I'm cute. Cute. Not exactly something to brag about.
Day 12: Something you never get compliments on.
My figure. Yeah, I know I had a baby BUT that was 9.5 months ago.
Day 13: A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days.
I would say this is a tough one. I would have to say that The Tragically Hip has the coolest albums and there are quite a few songs that bring tears to my eyes. OH and I cannot forget the Dave Matthews Band.
Day 14: A hero that has let you down.
I don't think I have a hero that has let me down. This isn't a very interesting morning for you readers... sorry!
Day 15: Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
Absolutely, the easiest question of this morning, and I think this was covered already but I will always say my husband. We've been through a lot in 12 years... spent time apart, together, with other people, together. Always, always, always finding our way back to one another. And always being there for the other when things weren't so smooth between us. Maybe to be honest, I never really lived without him.

30 Days of Honesty
Day 8: Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.
Wow. I would have to go back to high school I think to answer this question and even then, I don't think I have an answer. Not one person sticks out. I can't say that I was ever a target for bullying. I was by no means one of the "cool" kids but I certainly didn't get picked on and held my own. I had a great group of friends that I had gone to elementry school with and I am still friends with many of them.
Day 9: Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.
I think I have a few people on this list. [names will NOT be included, sorry]. I mean, Nick and I are in a completely different phase of our lives right not and our priorities are completely different than some of our friends. I mean they will always be friends and in time when many of them "catch up" on the baby train I'm sure we'll reconnect. Kind of sad. I've had a few moments that I've told Nick that I was lonely because I didn't have someone going through this with me. I have friends that are ahead of me but more of them are behind. I don't get calls to hang out. BUT, when I look at Madelyn I could care less if I go for a drink or not.
Day 10: Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
Hmmm. Again, another tough one that I am not quite sure I've got an answer for. I mean there are a few people that I wish I didn't know but who doesn't right? [And I don't think blasting their names on the internet and calling them out for every wrong thing they've done to me or my friends would just be right, it would just make me like them]... does that make sense?

Day 7: Someone who has made your life worth living for.
Easy. I would say two people. First and foremost, my amazing husband. If it weren't for him we wouldn't have my second reason for living, Madelyn. Nick has been an amazing best friend and partner. I truly feel that I am a better person for not just knowing him, but being lucky enough to have him in my life. His love, guidance and support has made my life easier. I hope I can repay him in the same way.

30 Days of Honesty
Day 5: Something you hope to do in your life.
I've always hoped I would get a University degree. I started going back part-time before we were trying to get pregnant but now that she here, I just don't know how I would swing it. I always thought I would go back while on maternity leave but I want to spend as much time with her and Nick as I can... plus get back in shape, keep up with friends. Seems like its gone by the way side. And over all I think I am okay with waiting to get it done, for now.
Day 6: Something you hope you never have to do.
I really hope I never have to deal with the death of close relative. (I don't mean grandparents) THAT is my biggest fear. Very morbid, I know. But its the truth after all.

Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.
Wow, another hmmmm. I think I am really good at holding grudges. I like to think when I say its "Ok" I move on. But I don't. I am not good at forgiving. I am good at saying its Ok, lets move on. I don't have one person I need to forgive for anything in particular. I think that over the years, there has been times that a disagreement has sparked and instead of dealing with just the one issue I tend to bring up things that I've burried.
ORRRRR maybe i have to forgive someone (not going to mention here who it is but those that truely know me and the situation will know who I am talking about -- sorry for being vague, its the internet after all and it wouldn't fair to air out everything on here). We will call this person "F" and will not refer to the sex of said individual. Hope thats okay with you reader...again I apologize maybe this makes me not being super honest? I have to forgive F. for being who they are. For having a very different approach to raising kids than me. I have to let go of all the lying F. has done, look past the fakeness, and just remember that F. will never change and its not worth arguing and fighting over. F. is who they are, and after all they do say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Its just not possible to change people.

Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Hmmm... I should have read this yesterday so I would have had last night to think about this one. Something I have to forgive myself for? Tough. I honestly can't think of that one thing right now... maybe I will come back to this one once I think of one?

30 Days of Honesty
Day 2: Something you love about yourself.
Okay, something even tougher. I think I love that I am honest. The one thing people can always depend on I think is my honesty. It can be harsh and many times I will try to soften the honesty... Oh geesh. I love my honesty? I think I said in the last post I sometimes hate it! BUT in all honesty, I like that I am that person for people. I don't like bullshit or fakeness. And I am happy to say that I don't think I am ever fake towards people. Sometimes I wish I could be, but its just not me. And I think I love that about myself.

30 Days of Honesty
Day 1: Something you hate about yourself.
Wow. Just. One. Thing. I don't think I can name just one thing. That's kind of sad isn't it? I hate my body image. I hate going to my closet and not being able to put something trendy together because I feel like I'll just look fat anyways? Horrible. I know. And to think I was doing this in a bigger way for Madelyn to get to know who I was/am. Do I really want my daughter to have the same body images as me! Heck no. I hate that I am a pessimistic/realist CONSTANTLY. Something is always going wrong or bad. Like, really? Did I just say that? I hate that I can be an angry, selfish person. I hate that I am too honest with people sometimes. Maybe it would be best to not say anything at all -- even when people want the truth. I hate how I look in a pair of jeans. I hate that I am intimidated to go out with a bunch of girls (many of whom I don't know) I hate that sometimes I care too much about people who don't seem to care as much about me. I hate that I am not always so nice to my loving husband, who for some reason still loves me. I hate that I think this way. Wow. I hate, maybe I hate me? Is that at all possible? Yikes! Scary really.

30 Days of Complete Honest (AKA 30 Days of Truth)
Okay... here goes a little something for me. I feel like it would an important thing for Madelyn to look back on this and read this. After all, I feel as though I am a very honest and straightforward person with everyone else... lets see if I can be this honest with myself. (I am a new blogger and not good at the whole blogger thing so I hope I can figure out how to put all these posts together!)
