Guilty Pleasures

Things are boring around here now that Christian is back to work. My days are filled with trying to find activities to do so the boys don't watch too much tv during the day. But I thought I would dedicate this post to my guilty pleasures. This way you know what a goon I really am. Some of you may love me more because I'm being myself, and some of you may think you are watching my I.Q. drop by the second...
  1. Pretending I'm asleep, so Christian will get up with the kids (I love you honey!)
  2. Hiding a candy bar in the cupboard and stealing bites when no one is looking.
  3. When I'm feeling depressed, there is one song that will get me feeling better every time: Justin Timberlake's Let Me Talk To You (Prelude)/My Love.
  4. Reading People Magazine until my kids start fighting and I have to break it up.
  5. Checking all of your blogs obsessively...you don't put posts up often enough!!!
  6. Eating WAY too many Oreos at last night's YW sledding activity. You put Oreo's in front of my face, don't expect to get any yourself!
  7. Turning on Max & Ruby, so I can get a 20 minute nap (that is one show that both boys will watch start to finish).
  8. I LOVE Metallica's song One. Who knew I had a little headbanger blood in me? (I also love their entire Black album...I purchased it on iTunes over Christmas break)
  9. America's Next Top Model. Need I say more?
  10. I got a Dooney and Bourke's handbag for Christmas, and I had no idea I would feel rich and pampered when holding an expensive bag!
  11. When I go to a restaurant, I order a soft drink, just so I don't look cheap - even when I don't want it.

That is enough of my guilty pleasures for one day. Now it's time for you to tell me yours!

Erin, I love it! Just reading your list made me smile. (those darn January blues) I will have to think on this and see what I can come up with.

Oh this tickled my funny bone. I have to confess that I share a couple of your guilty pleasures (namely the candy bar/ sneaky bite thing---oh yeah chocoholic here!) I never would have guessed you to be a Metallica fan though, what crazy new things I'm learning about my friend Erin.

ILU!!! You are the BEST!

Did you pick up the taste for Metallica off the new Guitar Hero? I think Guitar Hero in general is my guilty pleasure. On new year's I got a 437-note streak on My Name is Jonas (on medium). We HAVE to do some duets!

HEHE..you are so funny! I hear you on the candy bar thing. Only-I got caught! Carson asked me what was in my mouth. When I didn't respond he told me to open up my mouth and say aaahhh so he look inside. BUSTED!

Jessi said...

I'm going to post something like this on my blog too. Thanks for the idea! I gotta think of some stuff now.

Those were fun to read. I'll have to think of some--I also share the candy-bar one--this morning in fact, and Carson asked what was in my mouth and I said, "Eat your candy corn" thinking, "Don't touch my chocolate!"

Okay, we seriously have so much more in common than I remember! lol First People magazine, then Justin and Metalica (LOVE them both and it's practically the only thing on repeat on my ipod at the gym) to pretending to be asleep so hubby gets the kids!!!! Muahahaha! I love it! Too funny Erin!

I can't believe all you guys only eat a bite of candybar at a time. I make a whole pan of brownies and only cut a tiny piece off at a time. Pretty soon, the whole pan is gone! Whoops! Fun list, Erin. I can relate to all of them and know you are telling the truth because I know you so well!
Love ya!
