    - When he is gone, I make the cat talk and then I talk back to the cat... "I is the most 'dorable kitty ever Mama!" "Oh yes you are pooky wooky!"

    - For a brief and horrible time in middle school, my nickname was Flasher (due to a horrid incident involving static electricity and a skirt...)

    - I occasionally take pictures of him when he is asleep with the cat because they're so darn cute.

    Anyone else?

    I honestly don't have anything.  I'm very much an open book with FI.  The things I keep from him are things that would hurt his feelings if he knew so they're not really embarrasing for me.  more for his benefit.

    1. How hardcore my car-singing is. I'm that embarrassing person next to you at the light who's ridiculously dancing and singing to the radio.

    2. How much I love cheesy television...I am all over Disney Channel and the CW when he's not home.

    And on a more serious note...

    3. How much I fear he'll turn into his father.

    oooh I got one.  FI is very health coscious so when he's around we try to keep our meals healthy.  But sometimes when he's on a business trip or away with is friends, I'll buy a container of hagen daaz caramel cone ice cream and that will be my whole dinner.  I feel soooo guilty after that but SOOOOO satisfied :-)  (I've also done that with that tostitos queso dip.  so bad for you but sooooo delicious).

    - i could eat an entire bag of doritos in one sitting

    - it takes a TON of work to keep my skin presentable bc it is so terrible (ok he kind of knows this... but he has never really seen the process and i'm hoping i can keep it on the dl)

    - that my mom doesn't think he's "the one" for me (this is her problem, not his)

    - that although i love love love love my ring and it is beautiful.... the band is not exactly what i would have picked myself. 

    :)

    Oh I have lived with the FI for 4 years so there is no holding back my random weirdness!

    But at the same time I love that he knows about all my idiosyncrasies and still loves me!

    @bree - I am with you with the bad car singing but me and my FI do it together and it makes us laugh for hours!

    oh and regarding the photos... fi and i have an ongoing battle about covers. we are both cover-stealers (him more so than me!) and we fight/joke about it constantly. it is always playful... kind of a nightly bickering thing. One night i got up to go to the bathroom and when i got back he had taken my covers, so i took a photo.... i forgot about it until a few nights ago and then i got ot show him the evidence... heh!

    - I would be embarrassed if he got in my car and my radio was turned way up to some of the stuff I listen to (Broadway Musical soundtracks, Disney CDs, etc).

    - When he's gone I'm such a junk foodie.

    - When he's gone I veg out on shows like Gilmore Girls, Jon and Kate, Girls Next Door.

    My FI is such a hypochrondriac. One time he was changing the Lysol can in the air-puffer thing we keep in the bathroom and he swears it poofed right as he was taking it out and he got Lysol in his mouth. He was freaking out. I had to talk him off a ledge and convince him not to call Poison Control. I don't want him to know that I worry that our kids will be scared of their own shadows because of how he overreacts to the small stuff, especially since I was raised by parents who were like, "You're fine, walk it off." LOL

    @Circus Peanut - I recently started working from home, so my co-workers are my kitties.  We talk a lot during the day.  And I don't always catch myself, and my fiance mentioned that I was taking the cat talking thing a little too far when he was home.  So now I have to get all of the cat songs out while he's not here :)

    My FI knows pretty much all of my secrets...and has laughed his butt off about at least half of them =)

    He has certain childhood photos that he has hidden from me but his mother and I are on a quest to recover the hidden goods =)

    He even knows my babyhood nickname was "Fat Rat"...his was "Doony"....so I had them engraved on his wedding band...LOL. "Doony loves Fat Rat"

    Even though we're married, I still can't, umm, pass gas in front of him. Burping so loud our neighbors can hear? Totally can do that. Farting, not so much.

    the girly TV shows I watch when he's not around.

    looking at baby stuff - we're both on board to start trying after the wedding, but when I get bored with wedding stuff, I migrate to baby stuff... it's so darn cute!

    @di5308: I hear ya on the girly TV. If he has to be away from home for work overnight, I'll usually stay in, get some take-out and ice cream, sit in my sweats and watch some crappy girly movie that I would NEVER want him to know I watched.

    Some of these are funny!  The car singing ones are SO not me; my fiance and I both went to university for music so we belt out in harmony in our car.  Actually super embarrassing; we once lipsynched the entire Rent soundtrack to each other while joint listening to an iPod on a 3 hour bus ride.  Ohhhh music nerd love!

    We're living together this month since Mr Spin is here on rotations, and we got a pizza for dinner last night. I was getting out the ranch dressing and then I was too embarassed to do my usual thing--dipping my pizza in ranch dressing. It's so bad for you but so incredibly tasty! So I had a side salad with ranch so I could have a legit excuse to go, "Oh, gee, ranch dressing migrated onto my pizza! I'll just dip my crusts in it, that's not weird at all." Ridiculous. ^_^

    I never want him to know that my natural eyebrows could give Archie Andrews a run for his money.

    Seriously... it's ridiculous how thick my natural eyebrows are. I could never go on Survivor b/c I'd come home looking like a swamp person! I would DIE without tweezers.

    Lol i agree with a fair few of these

    Never want fI to find out how much i spend on make up either (eg: the 3 hour old purchase of $75.00 estee lauder eye shadow stashed in my handbag)

    How much a dislike his really rude, crude and socially unacceptable father. (he doesnt have a single tooth in his mouth) But rest assured Fi is a very handsome, lovely socially acceptable man lol

    Also how much a take photos of myself in the mirror b4 i go out to make sure the back of my hair looks ok. shameful i know

    I love this thread! Although both of us sing stupid songs to the cats and talk to them like they are our children, albeit in different languages.

    I don't want FI to know that....I have some black chin hairs which need constant plucking :(

    Shoe purchases and their cost. I got four pairs coming in from endless today.  I must get home from work before he does.  And no, I am not planning on keeping them all, just two but with free shipping its hard not to get a couple to compare.

    Oh and recessionista bride ditto on the eyebrows thing! 

    I think that if I were incapcitated, like in a coma, my mom or firend will have to pluck them so he won't find out!

    @bamm: Oh I WISH that was still a secret from my FI. Unfortunately, he oh so helpfully pointed one out to me on my chin when I forgot to pluck once before we went out. And I'm blonde, so that meant he saw how long it was because he saw it in profile, shining in the light. Ugh. So embarassing. -_-*

    I made sure to do all my strangest things in front of hubby very soon into our relationship. I figured he could run screaming or that he could show he reeeeally loves me.

    He still doesn't like my ginormous burps. I think he's just jealous.

    My husband knows pretty much all there is to know about me unfortunately. There's some stuff I don't purposely divulge such as how much I spend on makeup, how much I spend on getting my hair done, or that I ate half of a bag of Tostitos yesterday and almost a whole jar of salsa in one sitting....

    - How much money I spend on crap.

    - I too am afraid he'll turn into his Father (nice guy, just a bit grumpy).

    - sometimes when his Mother is talking to me, in my head I'm screaming 'SHUT UP WOMAN'.

    - Just how much I really love Keeping up with the Kardashians, The Swan, extreme make over and America's next top model (tacky TV is my weakness, guilty as charged)!

    @Meowers, I thought I was the only one who did the Hagen daz thing!  I've totally had Haggen daz for my dinner when he's not home too :-))))) I get it from Blockbusters along with a cheesy DVD on my way home, my fav is pralines and cream ;-p mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    I've got another:

    - I considered buying a £21 ($42) Christian Dior lipstick the other week even though I had to put the food shopping on the credit card.

    ...that I could drain my bank account at Sephora.

    ...how OCD I am about my skin (why would I waste a ton of money on Accutane and then treat it like crap)

    ...that I HATE going to his parents' house for dinner because they are AWFUL cooks.

    ...that sometimes when I'm feeling really awful, I go to the grocery store, buy a container of frosting and eat the whole damn thing.  :p

    @ Cupcake Sprinkles... I do the same thing with icing! And same with the inlaws cooking! Yuck!

    We didn't really live together before we got married. He is slowly learning all of my little quirks...

    -He found out about my bad breakfast habits pretty quickly. I've been known to eat cookies, ice cream or any other junk food before noon for breakfast. I always say that it is dessert time somewhere!

    -Leaving my socks on the floor beside the couch..

    -Sleeping with a teddy bear.

    I don't want him to find out:

    -How much I spend on makeup, so I take out cash instead of paying for it on the debit card.

    -How much I spent on the Frederic Fekkai hair stuff I bought...$33 CDN

    -He found out about my 'secret' credit card. Oh well...

    -That I really don't like his cooking!
