Ten Guilty Pleasures

Guilty pleasures put color in life, and who are we to deny ourselves? Right :) ?

In no particular order, here are some of my guilty pleasures.

1. American Idol: Is it bad that I still watch this show? It’s getting so old and yet, like a car wreck, I can’t turn away. I’m one of the few that isn’t even a big fan of the bad auditions, either. I like listening to the good singers belt out their songs and I get all nervous that my favorite is going to be voted off. The worst part of all..I secretely wish I could be on the show because of my love for singing.

2. Cereal: I eat it every morning and every night. Sometimes it's healthy cereal, and sometimes (especially when I am pregnant) it's NOT. You can usually find at least 4 or 5 boxes in our cupboard. I am addicted.

3. Diet Coke: I love it, I won't lie. Growing up, we didn't drink soda at all. We didn't drink juice for that matter. We just couldn't afford it really. We were a water only family. Maybe that's it. I am regaining all those years that I refrained from that great taste of diet coke. I don't even like the taste of regular soda. Just diet. Weird, but true. Luckily, I am far more aware of this guilty pleasure when I am pregnant for fear of "feeding" the baby caffeine.

4. The Office: So this one may not be a guilty one, being that it's a pretty popular sit com these days. But what I feel guilty about is how happy it makes me. I can honestly say that I want to be friends with Pam and Jim and that Michael Scott might just be the funniest person on the planet.


5. 80's music: I know it can be cheesy and stupid, but I don't care. When "Man in the Mirror" or "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" comes on, you better believe I am dancing around my living room or singing out loud in the car. My husband can be found shaking his head during moments like these.



6. Lying on my husband's lap so that he plays with my hair. NOTHING is more relaxing. I don't like my back scratched, I don't like my arm tickled...I just like my hair to be touched. He is a good sport about this one.

7. Target. Who doesn't have this guilty pleasure?

8. Surfing the internet for hours while my daughter naps.

9. Graham crackers and milk.

10. Celine Dion. I probably own every single CD. Truth is out. Come to think of it, it has been a while since I busted any of them out. Another choice of music that makes my husband roll his eyes!

You're cute Brooke. You have a pretty good list here. Some I think you share with a lot of people and some that are unique to you (you and those graham crackers!). I think our guilty pleasures make us who we are. Do what makes ya happy!...Even if that means watching lame-o talent competitions :) hahahaha, love ya!

I know what you mean... especially when it comes to cereal, the office and 80s music.

Brooke, I love you! You're so fun. I would agree with a few of yours... graham crackers and milk are the BEST! Not to mention the office, or cereal.. I can never stop with one bowl. I've got to see you more often...

Brooke. I can tell we are related. We have so much in common. I love your list. Especially the office & Target & American Idol. I would have to add that one of my other guilty pleasures is coming soon & that is "so you think you can dance". That show makes me happy.
I have to say that I am much more of a diet pepsi person though.
Talk to you later!

You are great! It has been too long since I went blog hopping, it made me miss all of you! (Didn't you love the proposal/shoe tieing last night on the office, we got a good laugh:))
