My Top Ten Guilty Pleasures

You know, the things that you KNOW you don’t need, but just won’t give them up.

10. Facebook. I am on Facebook WAY too much. I was seriously considering taking a FB hiatus but then we switched churches and I needed a way to stay in contact with my friends that I wasn’t going to see every week! So, logging on all the time is really the right thing to do, wink wink.  

9. Washi tape. Seriously this stuff is expensive for what you get. I cannot logically justify spending $4ish dollars on a roll of colored tape but something about makes my heart a little more happy so I do it.

8. The Walking Dead. Actually I really like zombies in general. It’s kind of strange because I don’t like scary or suspenseful movies but zombies done right can be very entertaining.

7. Books. Okay, books are a good thing I know. Books are great. Without books we would still be living in the dark ages but I have permanent book storage places in EVERY ROOM in my house. I love books. Recently my darling husband help me clean out and organize some of my book shelves and he made me get rid of duplicate copies of books I had. It was a sad day but everyone needs someone to keep them on track. If we ever have to downsize I would take my books over any other object in the home.

6. Sunglasses. How many pair does someone really need? If I was being economical and/or practical I might say two… but this is just one of those things I am not practical about. I probably own more than 30 pairs.

5. Sparkling water from Starbucks. It is a kick to the gut to pay $1.75 for a tiny bottle of Pellegrino at Starbucks but since I don’t drink coffee AND I love love love the stuff, anytime I meet a friend at Starbucks I am going to shell out the stupid two bucks.

4. Eyeliner that was probably meant for teenagers. I have some that is ELECTRIC blue and I love it. I also have hot pink eye shadow and though I don’t wear it very often, I am not giving it up. Okay, I know I am older than 29 (but younger than 31!) but I am going to rock it until I can’t anymore.

3. Reading about babies and breastfeeding and fertility and toddlers and cloth diapers and VBACs and ovulation and all that other amazing stuff. I have no idea if we will ever have other children but I can’t imagine a time where I am not just absolutely fascinated by the entire process of creating human beings and then raising them. I just love the baby stage, it is beautiful and difficult, and crazy, and wonderful.

(It was a close match between the number one and number two spot.)

2. The Outlander Series. I have been reading these books for about five years. For five years these characters have been a part of my life. I won’t give them up! I am totally in love with Jamie and Claire.

1. Planners. Real planners made out of paper. Planners are good, owning fifteen probably isn’t necessary. I am always on the hunt for a new planner, or a better way to plan, or a better lesson plan book. I am a planning fool. I tried once to go digital and it was a terrible experience. I have to write in a planner, with pencil, and then cross it off, or else my brain spazzes out.
