True Confessions of the Easter Kind

Yes, I'm going to come clean.....lay it out on the line....a tell all if you will! I don't know why but I feel the need to do so.

I wanted to share with you some little know Easter facts about myself.

1. I hate PEEPs. They absolutely disgust me! Hard, soft, pink, yellow, they are all gross to me! Your peeps are safe when I'm around. Your chocolate might not be but the peeps, they are safe.

2. My favorite candy for Easter would be Reese's cups or some Gorant's candy from back home in Youngstown Ohio. OMG soooo yummy delish! They have the best butter caramels covered in chocolate! I die......I want one now.....must move on......

3. When I was growing up, we were "That Family" that only went to church on Easter. I know regular church goers hated people like us because we took up the good parking spots and seats for that one day a year when we felt compelled to go to church. Ohhhh I got a new outfit every year from dress, to hat, to shoes, to white gloves, and even had to sleep on hard rollers so not a hair was out of place, but honestly, I think it was simply to go take pictures over my aunts house and go out to dinner. I must say, as an adult I am very faithful. I BELIEVE! As a child....not so much..... Funny thing, now my parents do not miss a week of church. Go figure.

4. What amazes me about #3 is that my son turned out to be a devout catholic IN SPITE of me and the fact that he has not really been raised in the church. I love that my 19-year old goes to church every single Sunday while he is away at college. In fact, for New Years, he and a friend went to Florida with FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) National Convention. He was completely moved by the whole thing, over 4000 college kids at a resort in Orlando (I can't help but think this had something to do with him going to the convention). He said it was amazing!

5. I have not colored Easter eggs in about 8 years. I know, terrible, right???? If it was Christmas everyone would be calling me Ebeneezer....but what do you call someone who ignores an Easter tradition like coloring eggs?

Well there it is.....my Easter true confessions. I'm sorry if I have disappointed you, LOL.
