ok, spill it!

I've been following the traditions of not eating meat on Fridays during Lent maybe you have too? Some people give up an additional things, they usually sacrifice something else like giving  up a favorite food -drink or activity. Actually I didn't this year, bad I know, feeling a bit of guilt about that..... us Catholics are good at that!

Anyway, did you ever hear the expression-


guilty

pleasure? ......of course you have...



According to the merriam- webster dictionary it means: something pleasurable that induces a usually minor feeling of guilt.

My guilty pleasures all fall into a few categories, like.....
  • I just rather not live without it, whatever it is.....
  • Something that I either do or eat or drink little to often. 
  • Then there's the guilt, because I'm good that way. 


Now a brief list of a few of my favorite guilty pleasures....
  • Italian food, any and all Italian food! I can't just have one bowl of pasta or one slice of pizza I always want more! 
  • Coffee, couldn't go a day without it. I know all that caffeine isn't good for me, but it's so darn good! 
  • Sleeping in after Bill gets up in the morning. I'm not the greatest sleeper anymore so if I have the bed to myself and get a few extra zzzz's {sorry honey} is wonderful! 
OK my friends, we all have our guilty little pleasures so tell me; what's yours?

  11. Ha Jen,
    I always thought Jews were famous for their constant guild, but I see now that you Catholics are not far away from it either... Good Luck with keeping the Lent .
    I work with few Christian orthodox ladies and they are giving out meat for the entire Lent.
