Guilty Pleasures

“Chicken Soup for the Soul” books–sometimes ya just gotta cry.

Oreo cookies buried, whole, in chocolate ice cream, then eaten, as if soaked in chocolate milk, after the ice cream is gone.

Spending time doing just the fun stuff with kids, then turning them over to their parents when they get cranky.

A polar fleece pullover, so cuddly.

Kid’s meals from Mc Donald’s or Burger King.

Beef jerky. Something about it seems so tacky, but the stuff is really tasty.

Guilty pleasures?

Hmm… Eating the dough while making peanut butter cookies. Staying up until the house is silent and the moon has gone to bed. Reading an entire book and taking all night to do it. Playing outside with my son long after dinner time has passed and I know I ought to be inside setting a good example for responsibility L. Taking naps in the middle of the day when the sun is shining in the window on my face and everyone in the house is gone and there’s dishes to be done or some other equally important chore. Eating dessert before dinner. Eating dessert instead of dinner.

Ohp… think the rest aren’t guilty pleasures. Those will have to do. :slight_smile:


Growing old is manditory. Growing wise is optional.

Guilty Pleasures…so many.

Internet porn (yea, like you haven’t)
4 AM Straight Dope (Duh)

Smelly Candles (and Im a guy’s guy)
Internet porn (snicker, snicker)
Trivial Pursuit
Old Style (from a fancy import drinker)
X-files (I’m not a geek, I swear)
The Onion (me too)
Just driving with no place to go.

I better stop before I give myself a bad reputation! :wink:

Eris, you’re a dairy-person after my own heart! If I could buy half-n-half in gallon containers and not have my cholesterol go through the roof I’d do it!

Guilty pleasures:
Coffee with my sister-in-law (rant and rave about the in-laws and husbands!!)
Laying in the beautiful, hot, Lake Michigan sand after you get out of the lake all cold
Weepy chick movies watched when my husband isn’t home to say “what are you crying about”
Singing very loud to my Diana Krall CD when no one is around (I’d be alone pretty quickly if I started singing with people in the room!)
Letting the cats come in under the covers to snuggle - a warm fur blanket!!
Driving around, feeling cool, with the radio blasting and the windows down on a sunny day
A whistle or second glance from a guy when I’m out exercising or just walking down the street (ok! the secret’s out! We like it!)
A huge shopping trip to the outlet mall with my mom, aunt and sister.

There ya be!


Carpe Diem! or at least seize something!

Red Lobster.

Me and the white trash gorging ourselves on cheddar rolls, hush puppies and bay scallops smothered in butter.

‘Shut your pie hole’-Jbird

SDMB and goofball.com at work…

Internet at work (I think I’m trying to get fired

Emergency! and Randolph Mantooth sigh
Kissing my cat’s microbe-laden little feet (they’re so soft!)
Guns N’ Roses (I know they’re scum, so why do I love them?)
Singing in the car (I must look foolish to everyone else on the road–everyone else that isn’t singing, too, that is.)
Randy Mantooth
Drawing naked ladies (I’m female, I’m straight, and I’m married, but women are so much more fun to draw than just about anything)
Drawing naked ladies during staff meetings (I think I really am trying to get fired!)
Johnny Gage, played by Randy Mantooth
Comedy Central
Pizza, chocolate, and Coca-Cola (but not necessarily at the same time)
LoveLine (I trust Dr. Drew’s opinion unquestioningly–and he’s kinda cute, too)
Me in a Dr. Drew and Johnny Gage sandwich

Ok, now I’m feeling very guilty

Staying up all night to finish a book, knowing I’ll be useless at work the next day!

Chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge chunks, and chocolate sauce!!!

Ditching work to stay at home in bed all day making love with my girlfriend

“chick-flicks”-that I have to go see alone!

Taking my niece and nephews out to play, spoiling them, and returning them to my sisters when they get cranky!

:slight_smile:

Carpe hoc!

Watching A-Team reruns, whenever I can find them. I have 12 hours taped.

xena, rugrats, scooby doo, assorted cartoons,
the simpsons
chocolate ameretto cheesecake, in bed

getting stoned in the porch after I put the kids to bed, and shagging for hours.
reading trashy novels instead of doing housework or sleeping (work the next day)

driving fast in a borrowed car
checking other peoples medicine cabinets…oh like you dont do it!
meethinks I’ve said too much! :wink:

The “Powerpuff Girls” cartoon.
Eating raw hamburger (now a dangerous pleasure, thanks to E. coli).
Listening to ABBA (there’s got to be a 12-step program for this!).

Boy, Guy…if I wasn’t married…
I didn’t think anyone else in the world liked to snarf a little raw hamburger. My husband has a coronary everytime I eat a little. :smiley:

Lesee,

Ditto on MrKnow’s Sunday Afternoon Couch Naps except add one warm cat
Carmel-Apple Dip without the apples :wink:
Lewd fantasies about an old flame
Hot baths that are so hot they’re difficult to get into

I’m sure I’ll come up with some more…
