Shelia Confesses

I don’t know why I started this on Twitter. It just seemed like I needed to do it so I did but I am glad it is done. Here are my 61 confessions for May. I did not do one in the AM on May 1st as the idea didn’t come to me until that night. After doing a few, I will confess that I wrote all of these confessions and then scheduled them on Twitter. I did include anyone who confessed something back.
