These days I don't have much time or energy for guilty pleasures. And to be honest, I don't even like the term guilty pleasures. If you are feeling guilty about doing it, you probably shouldn't be doing it. Now I know that sounds extreme, but think about someone hiding in the kitchen chowing down on a few too many candy bars. There is nothing good or even funny about that. Indulging in an amazing treat every once in a while, now that's totally fine. But these acceptable (and even normal) things have been relabeled as guilty. Me no likey.
I have to say, before I had kids (you know, when I had way more time and money) I indulged in way more guilty pleasures. And guess what? I prefer my life now. I really didn't need to fill my head with smut tv anyway. And this is just another sign that I am getting old.
In the spirit of it all, I thought I would share a few things in my life that I enjoy that you may or may not know:
- Candy cane Hershey's kisses
- Taco Bell
- How I Met Your Mother
- Blogging & reading blogs (I bet you never would have guessed!)
- Wine - though I don't have a glass every night, I sure do enjoy a glass of wine while relaxing after the kids are in bed
- Cheese - there is nothing better than a really good cheese to go along with that glass of wine
So I ask, what are some of your guilty pleasures?
Yes, I totally agree about wording it "guilty pleasures", to me it just sounds gross!!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasures:
McDonald's hot fudge sundaes!
Playing candy crush
Reading blogs, since I don't do much of blogging
Walking around Target, even if I don't buy/find anything.
My pleasures: Cherry coke, cookies for breakfast, a day spent reading, a long hot shower.
ReplyDeleteI like that you want to relabel it as just "pleasures". I agree with the bad connotations "guilty pleasures" has. Also the term "vices".
ReplyDeleteAnyway, some of my pleasures:
- reading forums of nerdy fandom things (Doctor Who, Disney etc.) especially if they contain gifs
- actually any gifs crack me up
- coffee
- lounging in bed
That being said, since I don't have kids, and I'm not in school, I feel like a spend a lot of my time indulging in my "guilty pleasures"!
