General chatter - What Is Your Non-Food Guilty Pleasure ?

Just wondering what are your G-Rated :nono: Non Food guilty pleasures ?
Mine is American Gladiators... and its on tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!

Netflix, i watch a movie during my work hours every day at 3:30 (i work from home, so i do feel guilty)

Oh man .. G rated? Spoil all my fun! :)

Ok, ok. My guilty pleasure is the amount of time I spend on the internet reading blogs. My work means I spend a lot of time on the computer anyway, and I take breaks from my editing and so forth by reading some of the blogs I RSS. I keep up with about 150 blogs, a combination of humor, social commentary, photographers, fashion, food, politics, and (ahem) sex. (Ok, not so G-rated there!)

I use the excuse that it helps me keep up with my client base and know what the new trends are so I can maintain my business edge! ;)

.

hmm id have too say gambling! well its a plesure when i win lol:D

Shopping

Books.
I buy them all the time, even before I run out of books to read.
Right now I have about 10 books on my un-read pile.

Sakai I do the same thing.. I love a brand new book :D

I agree with books. I buy way too many and reading my own book is so much better than getting it from the library!

The other one I have (oh yeah, I have TWO guilty pleasures!) is getting pedicures. I love pedicures so much. I go every other weekend when the short folks are with their dad. It is awesome. I sometimes feel bad about spending the money, but then I remind myself that I deserve good stuff too and that no one is starving at my house, so it's ok.

An afternoon nap.

guilty pleasures are reading good books (i never get time to at the minute due to exams!)

going to bed super early and watching comedy shows

waxing my legs, plucking eyebrows, pedicure manicure for myself and a face mask.. i do this once a week or so... love it!

1. riding my horse is number
2. massages (when i have extra $$)
3. shoe shopping..yes too can be emelda marcos if given a change LOL)

Books and my Playstation. Can't wait to get Wii Fit!

We have a book exchange at my work - which is awesome, I don't have to buy any and my already read books are put to good use.

A long soak in the tub with either Lavender or VitaBath bubbles, a book or smallish magazine, the portable phone beside me and my dog snoozing on "her" bath mat. A coffee is nice too or a glass of wine.

hahaa Ruth whenever i have a bath 2 of our cats stand with their paws on the side the whole time. fascinated by it! arent animals weird :)

Ps. i have wii fit already its awesome!

My cats watch me in the shower as well--I think since cats hate water so much, they are mesmerized that someone would purposely stand in it...Silkie has even jumped in with me, stood it as long as she couldn and jumped back out... :lol:

My guilty pleasures are playing Bingo, and watching Glenn Beck. He is hilarious, but very smart.

I have five cats and have to shut them out of the bathroom when I'm in the shower . . . two of them are Bengal Leopard Cats and they :love: the water, so shutting the door is the only way i can have the tub to myself. :lol3:

Apparently I have more guilty pleasures than I thought. These are also two of mine. One of my girlfriends and I go and get pedicures every other Sunday and I take a lot of pride in how good my feet look always - pretty painted toenails and no calluses, and so forth. ;)

And books. Oy books. I have 4 large shelves of them in my bedroom, more in the hallway, a huge shelf downstairs. I could live in Barnes & Noble or Borders if I were allowed. I wish I had the time to read as much as I want to. Even so, I manage to knock out at least a book a week, and usually 2 or 3.

.

Battlestar Galactica.

and my cats watch me in the shower too. One licks the shower water and when I am done, he sits on the wet floor between the show doors. One day I will get a picture of him doing this.

Mine does too. She licks the shower curtain while I'm in the shower and then waits impatiently for me to get out, so she can hop in and lick the shower water from the bottom of the tub.

Weird animal! :)

.

I have SEVERAL pleasures, and feel absolutely NO guilt for any of them!

One is swimming! (nekkid....! ... but you said "G" rated... so....)

Another is mast....nevermind. ;)

Another is mast....nevermind.

HAHAHAHAH. I just laughed out loud and scared the cat.

Um yeah. Me too. ;)

.

Beach Patrol...


Funny......... thank you for the giggle! ;)

My cat licks the tub when I get out of the shower too! Haha.

My guilty pleasure is really generic, bad pop music with a good beat. Even though it might not be original or artistically ingenious, I'll find myself car dancing to it anyway. Oh, and techno... I hate to admit it, but living in Europe during my teenage years did it to me!

teen dramas and comedies... Even though I am well out of my teens, it's like I get to live the life I never had.

80's music...Even though most of it is "before my time" (I was born in 87). I still enjoy some electropop music that you can dance badly to.

:D

teen dramas and comedies... Even though I am well out of my teens, it's like I get to live the life I never had.

Me too! Degrassi: TNG and High School Musical fan here :D

I also go on youtube and watch the old shows I grew up with, like Thundercats, Smurfs, Zoobilee Zoo, David the Gnome, Strawberry Shortcake, gosh, I could go on and on. There's just maybe one or two episodes of some of the more obscure ones, but I watch anyway. I found an episode of Hillbilly Bears last weekend. Ah, nostalgia.

I'd say shopping too, but it's my money, and I have no one to spend it on but me, so I don't have anything to feel guilty about :)

One of my guilty pleasures is regularly visiting the celebrity blogger websites (you know the ones! ;) ), and sometimes leaving snarky comments. :D

Every once and awhile I love staying in bed ALL day. And I mean ALL day! Did this yesterday after a long period of studying for assignments.

Reading lots of magazines while sitting in a sunny spot

Getting a 30 minute facial at the Origins spa

Listening to a book on CD or MP3 ( I love to hear it rather than read it)

Spending hours on the internet with all my family out of the house

Stretching out with the Sunday paper

Shopping with abandon

TV with Tivo--love comedies (Two and a half men, The big bang theory, Rules of engagement, etc), NCIS, CSI, House, Ghost Hunters, The Closer, Monk, Psych. Can you tell I'm a total TV addict? :D

All sorts of books :book2:

Perusing Catalogs

Naps

Surfing the net :comp:

On-line shopping

My cats

Amy :)

Glasses. I love glasses. As soon as I get a frame I'm on the look out for another pair!

Books, definitely.

Also really corny TV shows. I used to watch Gilmore Girls religiously when I had cable.

expensive hoodies.

first couple were olympic 2010 games hoodies.. but I just bought a turquoise artizia one as a reward. (all my other shopping is just regular shopping :)

I love to rent movies while my kids are at school.

My guilty pleasure is my weekly manicure ;)

For me its teeny-bopper music :o I am a devoted country and metal fan (I know thats random) but sometimes when an Ashlee Simpson or Kelly Clarkson song comes on I just cant help but dance and sing along! :carrot:

1. Lifetime movies. You know, badly-written-badly-acted-based-on-a-true-story shlock. "My Mother Is A Serial Killer" or "My Husband Has Another Family" or "I Was A Gambling Addict." Yeah, one of those. With a bottle of expensive wine.

2. Fashion. Specifically, trolling thousands of high-end online shoppes and putting together outfits. I can spend hours doing this. It's like the grown-up version of Barbie dolls.

3. SCA (a medieval re-enactment group). Combine nerdy historical research with playing dress-up & make believe. Love!

Soap operas. I watch All My Children & As the World Turns online. And then go to the discussion forums at Soap Opera Central.

Nobody IRL knows about this guilty pleasure. It's like my deep, dark secret. :)

Shoes... jewelry... it's a horrible, horrible addiction... :^:

dancing to disco and food network. (if i cant eat the food, i might as well watch it)

Books, Books, Books! My husband wants to buy me a Kindle hehe! ;)
&
Singing super loud and dancing around to music in my car to and from work :lol:

The DOG PARK! I vanish with my 2 mutts for hours on end. Everyone pretends they don't know where I am. I go to the dog park as often as I can-- sometimes every day. The pups love running around without a leash, and I like walking around and getting exercise!

Hmm, I don't really feel guilty for this, but I have to say watching my favorite TV shows. They are old (I'm not much into current TV) and some only lasted like, a season.. but I love em. I get The Drew Carey Show, Whose Line, Buffy, The Simpsons, and my VHS recorded tapes of My Life with Busey and just watch my shows. :)

:D When I saw the title of this thread, I said to myself... cool, I have something to share... then I automatically looked to see who started the thread... lol... it was me... almost 3 yrs ago.. Thank you for the bump Chevy andSunshine...

I'll admit.. I'm a Real Housewives addict... I used to watch just the New York version, now I love New Jersey... I love them !

EBAY selling and buying :dizzy:

hmmmm...

shoe shopping, the nail salon, looooong hot bubble baths! What I wouldn't give for a "me day" that included a GC to my favorite shoe store. Having my nails done, taking a long bath with a good book! Sounds like heaven!

1. Lifetime movies. You know, badly-written-badly-acted-based-on-a-true-story shlock. "My Mother Is A Serial Killer" or "My Husband Has Another Family" or "I Was A Gambling Addict." Yeah, one of those. With a bottle of expensive wine.

This made me smile! I love the cheesy LMN movies and "window shopping" online!

Sweetcaroline - Real Housewives are my guilty pleasure. I can watch them all day long.
Any type of reality tv that comes up on Bravo I will watch. So much time wasted. :dizzy: Lucky I'm done with school

As far as others - Im bit obsessed with makeup. I spend too much $ on it.

Shopping. REAL shopping, not just window shopping. It's more of a sickness than a guilty pleasure if I'm honest. LOL!

I never even noticed this thread was so old :)

I have a few guilty pleasures.

I'm a huge Survivor junkie. Never miss it. I play in a fantasy league and chat on-line with fellow addicts when it is on.

I also belong to a reality tv forum and discuss a bunch of different shows.

Baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Books I have so many in my to read pile but I don't buy them. We have a bookswap and it's amazing the books I pick up.

Bath and Body Works can't get enough of the stuff. We loaded up at the weekend at their sale. My husband laughed and said well that should last until the christmas rush :)

tv shows on dvd. I absolutely love to sit and watch seasons straight through. I have all the seasons of Buffy, Angel, Roswell, Grey's Anatomy..and am working on all of 7th Heaven and Gilmore Girls...

and books! I only feel guilty about the books though when I buy more...because my pile is quite high between books I've bought or borrowed and I should prolly get it smaller before I buy more! (That won't stop me next time I see one I *need* tho lol!!)

and lifetime movies. a great way to spend Sunday afternoon is to lay in bed all day and watch lifetime movies :)

One more Big Brother and it will be starting soon.

oh, I'll second Big Brother... can't wait...

I love love love books. I've been known to take Advanced Level English Courses at the local college for fun, just to get exposed to books I wouldn't normally read. Another guilty pleasure is my facebook games. I can only really get into one or two of them (and farmville is NOT one of them), but I love them. Biggest guilty pleasure though is episodes of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. My boyfriend got me hooked on them, and now we watch them every chance we get.

Books, Netflix, and writing books that will never be finished.

I go to the library almost every week so I read a lot. I move from one genre to another, I don't have a favorite.

I don't have cable so netflix comes in handy to catch up on all the cable shows along with great movies. I watch a lot online.

I love to write but know I don't what it takes to actually sit and write every day. Doesn't matter though, I just enjoy it.

bliss~

i love handmade soaps! Smell great and feel sooo nice to use :) lush soaps are a fave...

Firstly, I do mani/pedi every other week, but consider it basic maintenance that happens to be enjoyable.

My guilty pleasure is Sims3. I try to only play during the summer because it's the worlds biggest time-suck, but I love it.

Also Grey's Anatomy. Although the proportion of guilty and pleasure varies based on how terrible it is any given season.

Just like many of you, I love books, the personnel at my local libray know me by name!!!
I read a lot but also have come to enjoy audiobooks. They are easy to download and I can listen to a book while running errands, cooking or doing laundry!!! It's a different experience from actually reading but believe me if you find a good book read by an good narrator you can get lost in the story you as much......
I am also enjoying the World Cup inmensely these days!!! Only comes every four years so if you like you really have to enjoy every minute...:)

Cheers!!!

Caribbean Girl

Books..books...BOOKS!!!
Writing
Drawing

Did I mention books already?

I read all the time, but the only books I consider my guilty pleasure are theTwilight series. :dracula: I don't like to admit that I read all of them in a week.

Also... the Target dollar bins :)

I'd have to say that mine is books. I already have a full bookshelf and some books I haven't even looked at, because I either got busy with another book or just found myself completely uninterested with it when I tried to read it. Still though, I'd be willing to blow all my money on some new books.

...In fact, I think I'm due for some new ones soon. I don't have all the Harry Potter books yet. :lol3:

My guilty pleasure is a pedicure. I love having pretty feet. Which is strange for me cuz I hate feet. Maybe that's why mine have to look nice all the time. Who knows.

books, definitely... and Gossip Girl >_< but they are currently on break, so back to books :P

American Idol and Glee...and that's about it if we've got to keep it G-rated. :)

Shoes, head massages, shoes, massages in general, shoes, showers, shoes. :)

1. Lifetime movies. You know, badly-written-badly-acted-based-on-a-true-story shlock. "My Mother Is A Serial Killer" or "My Husband Has Another Family" or "I Was A Gambling Addict." Yeah, one of those. With a bottle of expensive wine.



OMG I love those types of movies too. My husband teases me about them, but they're just fun to me. lol.

I like singing super loud to Broadway or Opera music (thank goodness my husband doesn't get irritated by it).

I used to love long, soaking baths until our water heater broke. Especially after a workout.

Spending hours on the internet.

Crawling into bed after just having brushed my teeth and watching lots of sitcoms or reality television (wife swap, world's strictest parents, true life, made, biggest loser, losing it with Jillian.... ect.)

Watching old cartoons like Strawberry shortcake, my little pony, thundercats, rainbow brite.... ect. (I still love cartoons. My NEW favorite is Adventure time. It makes me crack up).

Reading through an old story or poem I wrote.

Playing with my kitty cat.

Shopping on ebay.

I love books too. I'm starting the Warrior series. =^_^= I actually used to really enjoy going to this second hand store and buying tons of books. You could get like 5 or 10 books for a dollar or something.

There's tons more, but my mind isn't working right now.
