Guilty Pleasures

(re-post from 1/3/08)

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!

LOVE ANTM, of course. Tyra is awesome.

You sleep through Max and Ruby? I actually use to like that show when Mattie was little. I slept through Dora. I wanted to kick the map.

Emmy said...

Trust me, you aren't the only one who sneaks chocolate :)

Most of my guilty pleasures involve food.

1. Chili Cheese Fritos - I don't actually love them, but once I start eating them I can't stop.
2. Cadbury Creme Eggs
3. Crepes
4. Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips - eaten by the handful.
5. This list could go on forever. I'll just stop now.

Hmmm...looking at that list, I now know why I'm fat.

Non-food related:

1. Reading a good book.
2. Early morning peace and quiet.
3. Food Network
4. Staying in my pajamas all day.

I love these kinds of posts!! :)

My favorite guilty pleasure is watching movies in the middle of the day. Just like I am going to do today. ;)

ANTM!!!!

I order soda at restaurants because I can get a guilt-free caffeine fix. Ordering a diet coke at dinner is somehow different than going to the store and buying a six-pack. You know what I mean?

Lara Neves said...

Oh yeah, I totally fake being asleep on the days that Joel doesn't have to leave early. :)

I want a D&B handbag!

Goob said...

Max and Rubeeeeeeeeeey, Ruby and Max! Do your boys ever pull the "talking like Max" thing because they think its cute? My six year old STILL loves that show and he does the talking like Max-one-word-over and over-again thing. Its kind of obnoxious. But I love that my little Star Wars obsessed, Ben Ten obsessed, Super Hero's obsessed guy can still love a show as gentle as Max and Ruby.

When I go to a restaurant (in America)I always order tap water, even if I want a soft drink, because I am cheap.

Kate said...

I love this post. It is so good that we all take guilty pleasures, but sometimes we just don't do it often enough.

Just SO said...

I am so with you on 2, 6 and 9! And if those oreos are double stuffed I'll fight you for them!

We love Max and Ruby at our house. It's great. Congrats on the D&B bag! How fun. I have a Coach and love it. (I got mine because DH bought a gaming console without permission.)
I am now craving chocolate (even more) and think I'll make the trek over to the overpriced vending machine.

Katie said...

TV in general. For some reason, I just love having it on. I'm lame like that.

I am a secret Red Neck...

I LOVE Mettalica
I LOVE BIG TIRES and a MUDDY JEEP (Me behind the wheel, doing doughnuts of course.)
I LOVE hunting videos
I could talk about turkeys and calls and blinds and bow and arrows and camo and scentlock and bucks and herd bulls and sattelite bulls and tree stands for HOURS.
I NEED a jetted tub every single night. (Lucky me my hubby installed one when I was 6 months prego.)
Candles, basically everywhere I go in the house I light a candle
32 oz 1/2 diet coke 1/2 diet dr pepper from the crest drive through. (This is how I met Jessi SO MANY YEARS AGO...) Sadly, all the girls know my car and I don't even have to place an order, they have it ready for me.
Chocolate covered pretzles
Black Jelly beans
Pretending to be asleep in the morning so Adam gets Tristan! (hehehe)
Rescue Me (TV Show, it is rated TV MA LSV. Not sure if that is a good habit, but I can't help it. My hubby is a firefighter and that show cracks us up!)
Blogging
eating cookie dough
Looking at expensive things on the internet that I can't have.
You know, the basics, ;)
