Comments on: If They’re Pleasures, They’re Never Guilty

I have no idea what my guilty pleasures are! I had no idea it would be such a difficult question. Most of the things I like doing are something that is good to do as week – like baking, cleaning, cooking, writing.

But I do have to admit, I tend to avoid studying by watching X factor, sitting around chatting to my roomie about everything under the sun, and sleep sleep sleep//

a nugget of wisdom to tuck away, for sure…!

some of my fav not-so-guilty pleasures…the 3rd tazza di caffe`della mattina, reading a pleasure book when i really *should* read for my classes (sometimes that slips into guilt…) & a plane ticket to italia for novembre (when everyone else in the fam is on vaca in other places)!!

great list. all great pleasures and anything involving dogs, a rainy day, good reads, comfort food, the beach, sunset, family or making something by hand are all pleasures in my book. not all at once of course or all together of course! xo collette~all over the map's last blog post..when we lead by example Hah, yes, we must pace ourselves!

-Eating breakfast on my patio in the backyard

-Early mornings when there are few people at the garden dept. of Home Depot, bonus if I have a Starbuck’s in hand

-Reading gossip magazines while at my hairdresser and manicurist

-planning a vacation (almost as much fun as the vacation – almost)

-watching Under the Tuscan Sun for the hundredth time, please don’t hate me, cheesy I know but it brings back so many fond memories of my Italy trips and I’ve been to all those locations except for Positano

-Reading blogs

-Dreaming of the day I can move to Italy and figuring out where I’d live

-Pedicures

-Talking to someone about Italy

-Watching cooking shows

Oh I think Under the Tuscan Sun is a great movie! It has little to do with the book, but the scenery is unbeatable

- a box at the opera – any opera
- peanut butter on my buttered toast in the morning
- a rizo cornetto with my capuch at break
- snuggling up to my partner in the middle of the night
- my flannel sheets this time of year
- when they were alive snuggling up with my two daschies – one down under the covers curled at my feet, the other beside me getting his tummy rubbed… god I miss my babies
- the smell of incense in a church after mass

And frankly looking at the list I realized there’s nothing guility about any of them!

Well, it is a good thing I ran across your website as your topic will force me to stop and relax a little. Weird day.

*Having someone run fingers through or play with my hair.
*Taking my motorbike for a spin.
*Eating nocciola icecream
*Reading a book, snuggled up in an armchair beside a crackling fire
*Being high on a mountain and looking at the valley below
*Silence
*Music by David Lanz
*Red wine on my porch (in the summer)

My latest guilty pleasure is the series Madmen.

But I am so so sad there are only two seasons so far. What am I going to watch this winter?

I’ve watched it a couple times and haven’t gotten into it. I don’t think I was in the right mood, though, so I’ll try again. I’m nothing if not persistent

Best pleasures are:-

Having a bath early and putting PJ’s on..(winter normally)

Spending most of the day just browsing around Oxford, stopping for coffee

Reading and can’t put the book down so I don’t

Getting flowers for the house

Cold sundays, doing nothing lounging, settee, blanket, magazines books etc

Putting housework to the side, and going for a bike ride.

Going to the hairdressers, just because I want to!!

I used to feel guilty but not anymore, life is too short….this is my “me” time…we all deserve it.
