Thirteen of My Favorite Indulgences

Posted on June 28, 2007 - Filed Under 13 Things | Leave a Comment

Well, I´m sure we all have something that we love to indulge in, even if we know we shouldn´t, so I thought I´d share mine! Feel free to add your own to the comments and we can all feel guilty together. :D

1. Whipped cream. On top of absolutely anything or just squirted into my mouth!

2. Being alone. With two small children under 2, I just love to have a minute or two when I don´t have to worry about them. Unfortunately, that has only happened once since Dante was born!

3. Frozen cappuchinos. There is this ice cream place in Antigua that is having a major sale this month, Q10 (that´s about $1.50 US) for a big old frozen cappuchino. Even though I am trying to avoid coffee because it upsets Dante´s tummy, I just can´t resist one when I go in to do my weekly shopping!

4. Macaroni and cheese. The Kraft kind. I know, it´s supposed to be an aversion, but I just love the stuff! I can´t find it here, though, so my family sends me a couple of boxes a year in my birthday package.

5. Herbal Essence shampoo. It smells SOOO good!

6. Writing fiction. Hey, I make my living off writing articles, so any time I spend typing up fantasy stories is a big waste of time and I earn nothing for it!

7. Coloring. I´m ashamed to admit it, but I color in my son´s coloring books. . . when he´s asleep! It´s relaxing, okay?

8. Watching Supernatural. My husband likes this show, too, so I´m not entirely out of place here, but I have to admit I have a little thing for Jensen Ackles. ;)

9. Downloading ebooks. I had to actually burn them to a dvd, I had so many. They were clogging up my computer! How many? I´m not really sure, but over 1,000 . . . and I´ve only read about 3. But they were all free, so how could I resist?

10. Chatting on Windows Live. Again, a complete waste of time, but it´s just so fun to talk to my sister for hours! It´s almost like we´re in the same country again.

11. Cheesy puffy snacks. Anything like Cheetos, Ring-O´s, Cheese Puffs, etc.

12. Playing computer games. I have to admit that I haven´t done this in quite some time now, but before I got so busy with three blogs (and two on the way), two kids, and all my freelance work, I played too much Sims and Tycoon. Course, a virus wiped my entire hard drive out, which kind of took care of that problem for me!

13. Clothes. I love to buy clothes, especially for my boys (that´s how I justify it, lol). Good thing we have a great second hand market here, or I would be very, very poor. I do try to limit my sprees to when we need new Pjs for Dorian or something.
