Guilty Pleasures (idea stolen from Nicole)

My guilty pleasures include:

10. Driving all the way to Chattanooga (used to be Kennesaw) to get my favorite dish at Macaroni Grill. I love me some farfalle with garlic cream sauce, broccoli, tomatoes and pine nuts.

9. Letting Sadie have the other side of the bed when Chris is on an out-of-town trip. (She's just a big teddy bear, really.) And along the same line, helping her get the toy from Jewels. It's really bad to have a favorite, huh?

8. Renting a cheesy girly movie and watching it all by myself while eating a pack of Goobers (chocolate-covered peanuts for those of you who have never experienced the tastiness).

7. Pretending like I'm just as good a singer as Ann Wilson while belting out Heart songs in my car.

6. Dancing to Black-Eyed Peas music. (I know; it's sad. These are, after all, guilty pleasures.)

5. Getting my hair done.

4. Reading magazines and taking special note of the design.

3. Visiting old houses and, usually, thinking of how I would redecorate them. (What's up with all the flower wallpaper?)

2. Listening to Chicago, Styx, Boston or Journey and remembering all the times with my dad.

1. Kissing my husband as much as possible in any given day.

OK, so I don't feel guilty about the last two.

What are your guilty pleasures?

You should feel guilty about very few of those things. Chick flicks, yes. Getting your hair done, no. That's basic hygiene.

Watching cheesy girly movies with you at any chance I get so you (or I) don't have to watch them alone. I'll take some PB M&M's though rather than the Goobers.
Any movie with "Princess" in the title.
Midnight snacks.
American Idol.
Pedicures.

I'm totally with you on beltin' it in the car! I am my best audience...and poor Isaac is my poor subject, forced nto listening! He is truly the only one who has REALLY heard me belt it, he and God, I guess...every single other person I have held back for...even you sis :( For some reason I have more confidence in the car!

And I'd rather watch a cheesy comedy :) You know me and sappy endings... I ruin them all with some crazy, sarcastic comment ;)

There was a time when The Black Eyed Peas weren't a guilty pleasure. I'm not sure how stupid Fergy or however you spell her name ended up a part of the group. She wasn't there to start with, and the group wasn't a cheesy club music production either.

Hooray! I love your list!

I've been pretty hooked on this crossword puzzle book lately, which wouldn't be a guilty pleasure except that I'm pretty sure it was designed for the senior citizen market. The clues are generally pretty easy, except the ones about movie stars from the 1940s and 50s.

Ok...I don't know why my answer posted twice. I don't recall having technical difficulties.

I agree with Courtney. You have no reason to feel guilty for most of those things.
