Oh, I have an extensive list for this one. I have not broken any of the major rules, i.e. killed anyone or anything, but trust me there were moments where hitting someone in the head with my purse seemed like a great idea. I think that I have managed to break the seven deadly sins, several times over, which pretty much guarantees me a spot down where it's hot.

Lust

Um, hello?! Have you seen Brad Pitt or Denzel Washington? I have to confess that I have had quite a few thoughts about them that would make you blush. I realize that they are both happily married and that adultery, even if it is just imagined on my part, is wrong but I just cannot help it. I anxiously await their next movie, with crossed fingers, hoping that there is a scene it which they are not wearing a shirt.

Gluttony

I confess that I have frequented many all you can eat buffets' and over indulged on more than one occasion. I would have to count on my hands and one foot, the amount of times that I have had to undo my belt after visiting one of these establishments. Being surrounded by large quantities of cakes, ice cream, pies and waffles makes it hard to control yourself. Nor do I really try to control myself.

Greed

I do make donations to charitable organizations and I am hoping that serves to offset some of my not so charitable moments. I confess that as I child I did not like to share my toys and I still don't. I am a greedy Gus when it comes to my iPod or my cell phone. I don't like to share them with anyone unless it is a dire emergency.

Sloth

I am guilty of this one big time. I consider myself to be one of the world's finest procrastinators. I can put things off with the best of them. I would rather lie around in a hammock than actually go out and do things.

Wrath

As stated above, I have never seriously physically injured anyone but there have been times when I came close. I confess that I have yelled out my window and given someone a one finger salute after being cutoff on my way home from work. And there was the time, when I was 12, when I threw a water ball filled with grape juice at my next door neighbor because he had called me a girlie girl. Oh and there was that incident with the ginormous spider and my shoe. But that's it.

Envy

Who me, envious, never! OK, maybe sometimes. I mean so what if Angelina Jolie has the perfect life and I would love to have it. She's got a killer figure, beautiful homes all over the world, fast cars and this beautiful coach purse with the shoes to match, who could ask for anything more? I would just love to have all that.

Pride

Supposedly, this is the worst one of all the sins and I am guilty of it. I am very proud of myself and take great pride in all I do. Sure there are times when I'm boastful and I am sure that my co-workers didn't really appreciate it when I came in telling them all about how my personal trainer said I had the body of a goddess. OK, he didn't really say it like that; I may have exaggerated a tad. But hey, I like to think of this as having a huge amount of self confidence.
