{my secret}

As I sit down to blog I always want to keep things real. However, how real do we ever really get?! Most of us would rather keep the ugly out of sight and I do a fair job at it here. As I was reading through blogs today I came across this --

"Most of what we post is the good, great, and fantastic things that are happening in our lives. This will obviously not give an accurate representation of what our lives are really like: usually mundane, uneventful, routine, etc... "

So I would like to make it a goal to be real {plus this is the closest thing I get to a journal}. Now everyone has secrets. Some are simple, silly, embarrassing, scary, hurtful and the list could go one.

{my secret} is that I suffer from cold sores. I HATE it. They are painful, ugly and I am embarrassed by them. I was finally able to get some medicine for them (I love insurance). Unfortunately I didn't have my purse on me saturday when Mitch and I were out, so I wasn't able to catch my outbreak in time :( So now here I am feeling self concious and trying oh so very hard not to pick at it. sigh...

{golly I'm pale... I need some sun!!}
