My guilty pleasures

[lawyerlee]

Guilty pleasures - we all have them. Some are little, like a daily naughty snack, while others are pretty over-the-top bad. They're all welcome here! :D

I have two to share for tonight:

My Super Sweet Sixteen and Making the Band 3, Season 2 on MTV. :o

[Brandles]

--Getting my nails done
--Eating a little less healthy on the weekends (and at The Fair--I had deep fried pickles and a steakburger for dinner...yum....)
--Having wine

[KeliAnn]

Laguna Beach
Breaking Bonaduce
Filthy Rich Cattle Drive

[LuluGirl]

Oh and I'm a total MTV Reality Show 'ho.

[Tonysweetie]

Friends!!! LOVE THAT SHOW!!!

Chocolate

Looking at baby stuff online

Constant CHatter!!!

[IrishMeg]

Cake. No one knows this but FH and I but we go through a couple of birthday cakes a week. FH loves ice cream cake and eats one every couple of days. I buy birthday cake (white with buttercream frosting) by the slice at the grocery store across the street.

We eat like regular people during the day but by 8 or 9 o'clock one of is saying "So, you want cake?" And then we go to the store and get it. On the weekends his kids are with us, we wait for them to go to bed and then one of us "sneaks out" and gets the cake.

I'm on WW and all of my flexpoints every week go to cake.

:o

[cindylou]

I am 40 years old and still watch the Real World on MTV. My 11 daughter laughs at me...

Oh, and Laguna Beach She is starting to recognize which show is on by the theme music. I think that's a problem.

OMG, can I come live with you? :p I LOVE cake - it's my favorite dessert! I try to avoid buying those single pieces of cake from the grocery store, but there have been times when I was totally craving it & ran out to the store specifically to get a piece. :rolleyes:

[strwbrygirl]

ConstantChatter

My guilty pleasures:

Diet Coke (until I got pg!)
Reality TV in general
Peanut butter M&Ms
Shopping!!! :D

[Sadie]

"Reality" TV
TLC
Bargain shopping...if I have to pay full price for something the thrill is completely gone. I make the rounds of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc. at least once per week, and spend waaaay too much time scrounging through the outlet sections of online stores. My most recent find was a pair of black Limited pants for $1.99 at Ross. In perfect condition. It totally made my week.

Oh, and I smoke when I drink. :o

[Delta]

Filthy Rich Cattle Drive (Fabian is an ass.)
Sweet 16
Laguna Beach (my fave of the guilty pleasures)

[tlew12778]

OK right now I've got a GIGANTIC bar of Lindt hiding in one of my file cabinet drawers in my office... this drawer is entirely dedicated to food. The chocolate bar is (well was) about a foot long and I've eaaten more than half... I just bought it on Monday.

[lawyergirl25]

-Trashy romance novels (and I mean the supermarket kind)
-Reality TV (especially Laguna Beach, Apprentice, Real World, My Super Sweet 16)
-One day every few months, I stay in my pajamas ALL DAY and do nothing but couch
-WWE wrestling - some of those guys sporting teeny tiny trunks are H-O-T! I just fast-forward through the actual wrestling. ;)
-Taco Bell and Steak 'n Shake

[lawyergirl25]

Oh, and I smoke when I drink. :o
Um, me too. :(

[Asha]

constant chatter
coffee
sweets particularly chocolate
hgtv

[greenbunny]

Eating ingredients with a spoon, such as brown sugar, cans of frosting, and butter/sugar mixed (like when you're baking cookies).

If I had cable, TLC's decorating and makeover shows. I miss them so.

[dionysia]

Diet Coke (until I got pg!)Ah, but now they make Diet Coke with Splenda!!! ;) :D (Ooops, LMC beat me to it!)

My guilty pleasures:
- Vanity Fair magazine
- sleeping late some weekend days. Really late, like noon.

- good, cheap wine
- Nanny 911
- a cigarette every now and again (while drinking)

my 'maintenance':

(I spent mucho $ and mucho time on maintenance and I feel guilty about it)

[paiger]

~MTV and VH1 reality shows
-I'm particularly fond of the Marathons even if I've already seen the season! :o

~Reruns in general (CSI, Law and Order, Charmed, Golden Girls, Designing Women, Friends, ER, Trading Spaces, While You Were Out, anything on MTV or VH1, etc) - I don't know why but I'd rather watch it on rerun that see a new show!!

~Twizzlers and Jelly Bellies - Especially when driving.

~Cheap red wine - which includes a box of Burgundy I have sitting above the fridge. You can't beat 5L of wine for $11.99.

~Trashy romance novels - even ones that are so, so, so anti-feminist. :o

[MLA]

1. "The O.C." -- am I the only one??? DH and I watch it every Thursday. I bake those break and bake cookies, and we eat them with milk while watching "The O.C." Because we've been moving across country (our TV's still in transit), we've missed the last two episodes, and we're both really sad. :o

2. Having way too many clothes.

3. Singing songs about my cats.

[boilermaker]

Ice Cream, with lots of toppings & whip cream
Raw cookie dough (I buy the Nestle break aparts and eat them for dessert quite frequently...without ever baking)
Teenage TV (Gilmore Girls, OC, 7th Heaven)
Shoe shopping
Fast food. I love french fries.

[KarenS]

-Trashy romance novels (and I mean the supermarket kind)Ditto this.

Also:
~ Sleeping in really late on Sunday (like noon or later)
~ FoodTV & HGTV (I will watch it for hours on end)
~ Cop and car chase shows (I really hate reality TV but for some reason the "Worlds Stupidest Drivers XII" or whatever sucks me in every time)
~ Cheetos. The crunchy fake orange cheese kind. I'll eat an entire bag if you let me, so I only buy them once in a while in the tiny snack size bags.
.

[paiger]

~ Cheetos. The crunchy fake orange cheese kind. I'll eat an entire bag if you let me, so I only buy them once in a while in the tiny snack size bags.

Have you tried the Baked Cheetos. They are SO good! I think they are crunchier than regular cheetos and not as high in fat.

ETA ~ I forgot:
I'm a really late sleeper on the weekends, if I can.

I LOVE tostitoes and salsa, and if it's a party, tostitoes and that queso you make w/ Velveeta and Rotel. I can't stop eating that stuff if it is around me!!

[Amaye]

Hot Trashy romance novels
Vampire/Werewolves/alternate universal novels..:o
Sweet Sixteen
Chocolate...yyuuummm

[SiValleySteph]

I have a recent addiction to Pirate's Booty. :o I ate an entire bag yesterday. Although after that I realized I prefer the Trader Joe's knockoff - Unburied Treasure.

I go to Starbucks on average more than once a day.

[1MegMeg]

- Corn Nuts and Diet Dr Pepper (but only on a roadtrip)

OMG! I thought I was the only person who did this! I too, have specific "road trip" food consisting of corn nuts, roasted pumpkin seeds, and Coke Zero or Diet Dr. Pepper. :)

Other guilty pleasures:

Wine
the obscene amount of time I spend on the internet
tarts (wax candle-type things that you burn in a special burner) - Have a tons of them and burn them all the time, yet I am always buying more. I love them!

[shopaholic]

- Ice Cream. If I could, I would only stock the freezer with icecream, forget food. Any type or flavor. Sorbet to popsicles.

[kari]

Ok, do I dare ask and risk starting a new craving?


What are Moose Tracks and Pirates Booty??

Yummy stuff. It's my road trip snack.

Moose tracks is vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups and fudge. I usually buy Breyer's here in Atlanta, but there are other brands as well. I couldn't find a picture on the Breyer's website, tho.

[KarenS]

Ah gayle I don't consider good cookware to be a guilty pleasure - I consider it to be one of the necessities of life! :)

Karen

[gayle]

Oh Karen, I so agree on your assessment of cookware! But I am sure that some would consider that to be a guilty pleasure:)

[lbs27]

[Asha]

[Tonysweetie]

tonysweetie - you feel guilty about that??!! :D can you pass on that desire to me?


Yes, sometimes I do feel guilty b/c DH hates going to the gym and makes fun of me by it, lol. Not in a mean way just saying that I'm additcting to excercise. He thinks I work out too much. It's just something I've always been into *shrugs*:D

especially Real World, Engaged and Underage, and My Super Sweet 16

chick lit, of the Jennifer Weiner/Jane Green/random-book-about-sassy-30- year-old-in-Manhattan-facing-romance,-wedding,-or-babies variety

[Hello Kitty]

4. "Platinum Weddings" on WE

[kalogrias]

Ooooh...Engaged and Underage! I LiveStream it at work when I have nothing left to do (which is often).

Haribo gummy bears

Manicures and pedicures waaaaay too often (more often than necessary)

[Leilynne]

1. Pop. I work in a hospital and 3 of my bosses are dieticians. I spend alot of my time explaining the evils of pop to my patients, then I go home and drink pop. I'm ashamed of myself. I no longer keep pop in the house but every few weeks I get a horrible pop craving and run down the block to a convenience store pop machine. I then like to savor the pop by sipping it as slowly as possible while still finishing it before all the fizz is gone.

2. Television. I watch way to much tv, I read (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com) about tv, I think about tv, DH and I debate and theorize about tv (at least he loves it too).

3. Shopping.

4. Bathing suits. I collect bathing suits like some women collect shoes. In my defence I live at the beach, so really I need all of them.

[artist]

I thought of more...
Excercising (I'm a gym freak)


that is not a guilty pleasure!!!! :D

I'm agreeing with Asha!


For me:

- smoking more than "occasionally" (yet less often than a lot of smokers I know)
- ice-cream
- mochas
- energy drinks
- donuts on occasion at the gas station
- Coke on occasion
- a glass of wine on occasion while with good friends
- YouTube
- ConstantChatter
- good art supplies
- Pilot Precise pens
- taking lots of baths
- movies (Can't seem to get enough of them, but I justify my film addiction with the fact that I've created a couple of short films myself, so I am studying up on the craft of film itself. Also, most of t.v. is awful and I don't have cable.)

[wittenburg]

I have a few. :o

- LOOOOONNNNG, hot showers.....we're talking up to 45 min
- Lipgloss. I have so many different tubes of the same color it's insane. DH isn't thrilled.
- Pretty much anything on E!, but especially "Girls Next Door" and "Dr. 90210"
- "The Hills"
- Parmesean garlic breadsticks from Papa John's. I'll order JUST a box of breadsticks and a coke (no pizza) and chow down.
- Any kind of candy before I gave sweets up for good last March.
