Guilty Pleasures

I think that one of the best things about being a human being is the enjoyment we get from things. From big complex things, like love, to simple things like relishing the sweet taste of chocolate. Things like the pleasure we get from a sunny day or even from a raging thunderstorm.

My absolute favourite of this kind of thing are guilty pleasures (well of course this still comes after my husband :-P). So, I want to know what your guilty pleasures are.

Mine are chick lit books. Trashy tv like ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and ‘Project Runway’ where bitching comes first and fashion second. Ben Jerry’s ‘Phish Food’ ice cream. Murder mystery jigsaws. Eating a whole dairy milk bar (and I’m talking about the big ones) in one evening. Curling up on the sofa with my laptop/book/favourite tv show (one of the many) instead of doing the housework. Hot chocolate with added chocolate!

These are the things which you love to do even if you know you shouldn’t. You get a frisson of guilt, which is part of the fun – and that’s what makes guilty pleasures so great so much more enjoyable! It’s why a chocolate bar tastes better than your favourite fruit, I reckon!

So people, what do you love know you shouldn’t?

Woo, looks like July is set to be an exciting month for me this year. I’m off to the O2 festival on the 6th, and Joseph on the 26th for my birthday (which is 25th) and now it turns out my ‘Sun Holiday for £15′ is in July!

From the 14th – 18th July, I will be on the Isle of White, Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park! Woo, looks really nice. Staying in chalets, with no extra service charge, wheeee. Just got to pay the (discounted) ferry trip, fuel & food. All the f’s then! Not bad for £60 for four people. Lol, it’s supposed to be £600/week in July. Can’t wait – will be great to have a break. Going with Becky & Tom (unless he finds emplloyment before then) so that will be cool.

So yup, excitement = the month of July. Obviously not quite as exciting as December, what with my wedding, hehe, but fun nonetheless! It’s nice to have this huge event this year with the wedding – but it’s brilliant to have a fun & varied life with James. After all, the whole deal is less about the wedding and more about the marriage! I’m not saying that I don’t want a lovely wedding though, cos I do! Just want what comes after that more, the life with James.

Anyway, I’ll stop being soppy now. I’ve got a lot to look forward to now though, with going down to Cornwall next month, O2 festival, Isle of White, my birthday & Joseph, Lee Evans, and the wedding – and Mexico! Whee, busy year for Zoe!
