The Truth is- The show Hells Kitchen reminds me of my family. Not because when we cook there is a red faced Brittish man calling people stupid cows or yelling that the risotto is undercooked and beef wellingtons are over cooked. But because a year or so ago everyone use to come over and we'd have a family dinner and then watch the latest episode of Hells Kitchen.

The Truth is- There are some people at the gym we can't stand. Like the guy who's feet hit the front of the treadmill with every step he takes. Or the lady who's always "saving" the treadmill next to her for her friend who sometimes never shows up. Or the lady who walks at such a high incline that she has to hold onto the handles or else she'll tip over. Just makes us realize that people watch you when your at the gym.

The Truth is- We have this woodpecker who likes our house. Before we had the house painted he had knocked a hole in 2 different places on the side of the house. But now that those are patched up he spends his time pecking the metal pipe that comes out of the chimney. The sound echo's through the house. I think maybe its morse code and he's just trying to communicate with us, because really WHY else would a woodpecker peck on metal?!

The Truth is- When we were younger and lived in California the ice cream man would drive past the back of our house a lot. It was a fenced in yard so you couldn't see in. My Dad always thought it was funny to go out there and yell "STOP! STOP!" and have him slow down and look for who wanted ice cream. And it was pretty funny.

The Truth is- I can handle almost everything Preston throws at me. I'm ok with getting pee'd on, rockin a face full of puke, snot nose. But oh man....if he poo's in his bathwater I'm out of there. Can't handle that. Thank goodness I have a Patrick. Sorry, that one was kind of gross.

The Truth is- I didn't wear the color red all through Jr. High or High School. I read once that redheads can't wear red, and someone told me once it didn't look good on me. So I avoided it. But then one day I tried on a shirt that had red stripes on it and it didn't look too bad! So I started incorporating red into my wardrobe. And I didn't die. Then one time when I was pregnant I was getting a pedicure and the lady sitting at the drying station next to me told me I couldn't really pull off wearing red with my hair color. Thanks strange lady! I do however continue to wear it. And I make Preston wear it all the time.
