A little bit of pleasure, goes a long long way…

Topical Tuesdays

I have a few friends who like to blog – a few I’ve been in blog projects with before, and we all love to write! Each of us are on a different journey within our separate lives, but want to continue to share the blogging journey with each other! We’re going to take turns coming up with a topic every Tuesday and we each have to blog about it by the end of that day and then we will post links to each others’ blogs. That way we can each share our different perspectives on the same topic with each other, and any readers that are interested in what we have to say!

My fellow bloggers are:

Jenn asked us this week:  What’s your guilty pleasure?

Okay.  I’m straight forward and blunt.  This is one thing you’ll have to learn about me.  I don’t try to keep secrets from many people.  So, most people know my OLD guilty pleasure was smoking.  Honestly and truthfully, I miss smoking.  It was relaxing.  It gave me a few minutes of peace away from chaos.  It was a bad habit. 

I don’t smoke anymore. 

Since having kids, I don’t drink much.  I snack too often, but I don’t feel guilty about it. 

I’m not sure what my guilty pleasure is, unless you count Facebook.  I spend WAY too much time on Facebook!  I can access it from my phone and the laptop (which is currently out of commission right now, but I’m using the hubby’s work laptop).  I think I use it as my way to relax and recoup.  It’s a way to vent.  I use it to get advice.  I use it to give advice.  I spend WAY to much time on it.  It does make me feel a little guilty.  It makes me feel like I don’t pay enough attention to the other things in my life, sometimes. 

Facebook is always there, though.  Mostly on the weekends, I leave it be, and concentrate on other things.  I am not on it 24/7.  I can avoid it if I need to. 

There are other days.  Stressful days.  When I’m constantly on the run, picking up, dropping off, going to Dr’s appointments, going to the store, listening to screaming babies in the car, telling whining children to stop whining and to just be quiet.  Those days.  I treat myself to an A&W Root beer Float. 

So, right now.  Those are my guilty pleasures.  I’m sure I have a ton more that I just can’t think about right now, since my brain feels slightly fried about some other issues that take precedence right now. 

Guilty pleasures sure are just that though…  Pleasures.    I think I might need a root beer float soon!!  I think that might put me back on track!
