My top 10 guilty pleasures

Hello there little blog.

I was at the gym last night and I'm doing some ab stuff and I see this girl come and sit on the mat next to me. She's cute, wearing cute workout gear, and is super skinny...skinnier than me and I'm 115! She just looks really tiny, but has a very toned body. So I go on with my abs, and I look over as she starts to do lunges, but before she does so, she takes a swig from her PEPSI bottle. She's drinking a damned pepsi during her workout! I look over at my bottle of water that I scarfed down so fast during cardio, and pondered for a minute. Who ever told this chick that drinking soda during a workout is good for you!? I wanted to grab that bottle and pour it over her stupid head.

Somehow that got me thinking about guilty pleasures..hey, maybe she just can't part herself from soda..she loves the caffeine..no..she NEEDS to caffeine for a good workout. Who knows. And don't ask why this made me think about guilty pleasures because I have no idea! Here are my top.

1) TRASHY. REALITY. TV

Ugh..yea. E!, Style network, MTV, VH1, TLC..everything. If your boyfriend/husband says it looks dumb, I usually love it and have to watch it.

2. Snacking

If I could, I would snack all day long. Most people have a designated guilty pleasure snack like cookies or pizza, but I like all snacks. I'll be cooking dinner while stuffing my hand into a cereal box or licking the spoon here and there.

3. Google Mapping

I've mentioned this issue before. Where I like to googlemap celebrities houses and stores they go to and then drive by them. But for real, googlemapping is so great. Especially street viewing! Seriously..take a few minutes and try it out. I like to googlemap rich areas (Bev Hills, Palm Beach) and street view and look at the mansions that I'm so jealous of! (hope this doesn't scare people away!!) Plus, if you type "weird things found on googlemaps" into yahoo/google, it'll show you strange things found in googlemap cameras. Here's one of a drunk guy passed out that someone found! haha

4. Facebook

One word..addicted. I could spend hours on that site, and sometimes I do!

5. Having my picture taken

I don't know if this is me wanting pics of myself, but if I'm out with friends or boyfriend or family, I'll be like "take a picture of just me!" No explanation there.

6. Lil Wayne. 
Okay, I do not feel guilty AT ALL for loving him. Buuut, I feel embarrassed when all my friends tell me I am way too obsessed with him for my own good! But I do have an amazing bf who got me 5th row tickets to his concert last summer! But yeah..I'm always listening to him, love watching his music vids, constantly search for his concert tours, buy his merchandise..Comon..you all like a musician like that right!?

7. Drinking wine
Yum yum yum I drink a glass almost every night. Nothin betta!

8. Everything wedding
I've been in a relationship for 4 years and don't expect to be married yet, though I'd like to be! But I think my bf and I would be happier together if we situated life first! (buying a home, paying off college loans, etc) HOWEVER...that does not mean I'm not curious. Curious isn't the word. In Borders, I sneak to the wedding section and look at their wedding books..love surfing "the knot.com" "wedding wire" and of course, watching Say Yes to the Dress. Just a lil somethin I enjoy and when I do get married, I'll be prepared!

9. Buying things just cause they're cute
Cute pens/pads of paper, mugs, cell phone covers, books..you name it! I just like it!

10. Driving fast in fast cars
When I drive my boyfriends car, can't help but drive fast...pedal to the floor! He has a BMW which is muuuuch faster than my SUV. So when I get to drive it, I love zoooming it! hehe bad, I know, since he can tell when I drive too fast because his gas mileage goes waaay down..woops!

There you have it! What are some of your guilty pleasures!?

Monday Shmonday

Let's see. It's Monday, and I'm about 600$ short in my bank account..that's what Christmas Shopping did to me over the weekend...yikes!

And the worst..I'm not even 100% done..only about 80%!

During college, I was really only working about 20 hours a week. That's what our school allowed it's workers to work just so that we didn't fall behind in classes. So I was making maybe 6.50$ an hour as a tourguide for my school--which by the way, funnest job ever! So Christmas/Birthdays/Anniversaries, I didn't have much of an amazing income to get people amazing gifts, while still spoiling myself with amazing gifts. 

But let me tell you..now that I have a big girl job with a big girl salary, I splurged. I went above and beyond buying people gifts! Something about buying someone a gift and watching them open it just makes me so happy! I love buying people things they want! So needless to say, I went nuts. My sister and I got my parents something amazing for Christmas that I wont share yet, but they're going to love it. I just had so much fun swiping my debit card here, pulling out cash there, waving my credit card towards there..I was a shopping machine. But hey, best part is, seeing happy people on Christmas =)

I also bought a play dough ice cream maker! Okay, not for me...Toys for Tots. My work is collecting toys to give to toys for tots so my boyfriend and I went out to buy some toys I could bring in. Literally, I wanted to keep the toy I bought for myself, and buy another one for toys for tots! hah! I know, that sounds horrible of me. But its an ice cream maker thing but instead of using ice cream, you use play dough! Ugh so much fun!

During Christmas, I always get so sappy and think about people who aren't as lucky as I am to be fortunate enough to have a great family and a chuck-filled tree with gifts on Christmas morning. Every morning on the radio I hear things about needy families, toys for tots, soup kitchens, holiday gift giving for poor kids, etc. And each time, I want to go out and donate. The holidays make me want to be charitable, but I know I can only help out so much. It's just really sad for me to think about and wish that I could just ransack Toys R Us and Pottery Barn Kids and buy out the entire store! Blahh..but I'm doing my part little by little and donating to Toys for Tots more than once.

So it's a frigid FIFTY DEGREES here on December 13 in Boston. I like nice weather and all, but come on..it's December. Where the hell is the snow. But tomorrow is supposed to be 13 degrees so I guess going from 50 to 13 is no big deal. 

xoxo!
