Guilty Pleasures. With caps, because if you’re going to feel bad about it, it might as well be big, yes? Of course that isn’t how it always plays out – why do we feel guilty about little things (see #4 below)?
1. Tv show marathons. Law & Order, CSI, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Maude (I’m loving Maude right now) – watching hours of a show at a time is the balm to 12 year old me who wanted to cry at the end of a show’s season because HOW IN THE WORLD COULD I WAIT ALL SUMMER TO FIND OUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
2. Eating pizza as much as possible. Dear god I love pizza.
3. Running. I’m going to include this even though the vast majority of the time I feel far more entitled than I do guilty. And if I start out feeling guilty, I’m so over it by the end of a run. 12 minute miles today!
4. Making grocery lists at work. At work I can finish a thought. Its nice. And that makes it the perfect place to make grocery lists when I should be doing….something else.
If only these represented the sum total of my guilt, guilt would truly be pleasurable.
