Guilty Pleasures
The other morning I was listening to a radio morning show,
discussing the most popular “Guilty Pleasure Songs” based on a recent survey on
Spotify. I was in Heaven while they
played clips from all the songs- because they were all my guilty pleasure songs
too! “Apple bottom jeans, boots with the
fur . . . “ Classic. Anyway, this evening I was driving home in
some serious traffic congestion. We had
2 cars: the boy car and the girl car.
The girl car decided to entertain themselves by having a “Sing Along
Party to . . . Princess Songs!!!!!!” It
got me to thinking about what guilty pleasures I have with each of my family
members.
Alexa:
1. I can be totally silly and girly with her.
The girlier- the better. Want to
do crafts? Only if there’s lots of
glitter and pink and purple. Want to go
for a bike ride? Only if we put on all
of our prettiest jewels. Something isn’t
quite right? Throw yourself on the floor
in an emotional heap! 2. I can sing along to princess songs (which, for the record, I totally enjoy! Seriously- have you listened to some of the songs? The word play, rhyme, and lyrics are just genius! Plus they’re so catchy and humorous)
Andrew:
1. He’s always up for a meal out. Andrew and I should actually not be allowed to hang out alone too much together. We’re bad influences on each other. There’s always a restaurant we want to try (as long as it serves garbage), or a place we haven’t been in awhile, or lunch in a restaurant just sounds better than lunch at home.
2. We can piss away an afternoon laying on the couch watching crap tv like nobody’s business. Doug wants to know why I get nothing done- oh I’m doing something alright. I’m laying my lazy butt on the couch & watching Austin & Ally or Jessie with Andrew. It’s how we bond.
3. Juvenile Literature. I won’t lie- my adult books are pretty much complete and total trash. However, I read some quality juvenile literature. Of course, right now- we’re obsessed with Harry Potter. Even though this is the 3rd or 4th time reading some of these books- I’m still just as fascinated as I was the first time. However, I was this way when he went through the Junie B stage, and when we went through Percy Jackson (Oddly- I wasn’t obsessed with Captain Underpants. That I hated, but appreciated the word usage. However what a ridiculous and horrifically stupid book, full of 6-8 year old boy humor. Since I was not a 6 year old boy- that is probably why I hated those books so much)
Doug
1. Gossip. I love to gossip with Doug. Now that we’re at the same school, it’ll be even better because he’ll share more with me- since I’ll know who he’s talking about. He always knows the good stuff too.
Guilty pleasures are really quite lovely.
