Friday Favorites: Guilty Pleasures
August 13, 2011
(This really was written on Friday, but I didn't get it posted until just after midnight :) )Everyone has a little somethin' somethin' they love to partake in, all the while knowing they probably shouldn't be doing it. One of mine, obviously, is chocolate. I'm well aware it could be expanding my waistline, but do I care enough to give it up? Absolutely not. Same with fried chicken. Sorry, but I'm from Southeastern Oklahoma and I worked at a fried chicken joint for 3 years in high school, and I don't plan to EVER stop eating it...with NON FAT-FREE Ranch dressing.. I will just have to offset it by continuing to run and go to the gym. I've said this before: It's ridiculous what we have to do to not weigh 500 lbs...but on the other hand, don't be asking me to give up my chocolate or fried chicken. Ain't happenin. :)
Another one of my favorite guilty pleasures is shallow reality TV shows. I'm also aware that I could be using my valuable time for doing good in this too-far-gone-world, but do I choose to use those few hours a week doing something that would make a difference? Or do I spend it in front of the TV with my cell phone ready to text my fellow avid TV-watchers to say "OMG did you just see that?!" No DVR for me. They must be watched in real time so the following morning at work, we can all have a powwow to dissect what exactly happened. Case in point: Bachelor Pad. All this show is is a bunch of dramatic, confrontational people thrown into a house together and told they can sleep together. This show is not promoting good in the world...I would definitely say it's sending the wrong message! But is it hilarious to watch these people make fools of themselves? Of course!
Another guilty pleasure? Shopping. We have been saving for our house for quite some time now, and I cannot tell you when the last time was I bought myself a new shirt! It has been absolutely killing me. I know that the money I'm spending could be going to a greater cause...maybe feeding starving children in Africa or sponsoring a child in Argentina. But that pair of shoes would look SO cute with that dress! And that Coach bag is on sale?! I. Must. Have. Them. All. A few shirts have been in a weekly rotating trend for a while now. People at work are probably starting to notice. :)That's all I have for now. Have a great weekend!
