There are quite a few things in life that I’m a little ashamed to admit I enjoy. Some are bad for me, others are just things that I am a little embarassed of. None the less, I will fess up now 
.
1. Late night desserts– This should be a no-no, but lately I’ve been overindulging in the more-than-occasional late night snack. Maybe some cookies and milk, a bowl of icecream, or a little rum cake. Definitely not great for the figure, but that’s why it’s a guilty pleasure (one that I am trying to lose as I type).
2. Celebrity magazines– You know what I’m talking about. People, In Touch, Entertainment Weekly. As I wait in line at the grocery store I can’t help but look to see the latest news on Tom and Katie, the Bachelor, or Brangelina. Yes…I know it’s trash. I admit it. But what else can I do standing in line? Right?!?!
3. Elimination reality shows– Ok…I never intend to add another one of these to my DVR, but if I get caught in one episode I am totally hooked all season. I’m not just talking about the cool shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race, but also the Bachelor, Top Chef, , and even America’s Next Top Model (hanging my head in shame as I typed that). I could probably list out even more, but I think you get the point.
4. Books written for people half my age– I thoroughly enjoyed reading Harry Potter. I even took the day off work when the last book came out just so I could start reading it right away. Pathetic…I know! It doesn’t end there though. I found the Twilight series equally addicting. I guess I am a sucker for teen romance when it’s filled with fantastical creatures like vampires and werewolves. It’s a little embarrassing…
Those are some of my guilty pleasures. What are yours?

Hmmm…
Probably locking myself in the bathroom with a candle lit bubble bath and a bottle of wine…. No kids, husband, cats, dogs allowed! JUST ME AND MUCH NEEDED RELAXATION! (Even if the world is falling down outside the bathroom door, I’m not leaving! Joe can handle it!) Too bad I can’t do it every night!

Mine would be WAY too much caffeine (Diet Pepsi and coffe in rotation), deals/sales/coupons, magazines in general (Im a junkie!), notebooks (I collect them but not on purpose, they multiply!), and right now I am in rehabilitation for it but I will admit that I was a Days of Our Lives addict…I am almost crawling under the desk on that one! That totally tops your America’s Top Model addiction.
P.S. – Ice cream is NOT a guilty pleasure it is a necessity!

At the moment … OREOS! Double Stuff, cakesters, oreo balls, you name it!
And, I have another magazine for you … sorry, I’m no help in your magazine/reality show guilty pleasures (guess they are mine too). I don’t feel bad about Survivor or Amazing Race but I must say that after this lame bachelor I am thinking I need to be done with it forever!
