sneaking upstairs early on a friday, settling in bed with a good book ,a mug of a good hot drink (laced with something alcoholic) and the knowledge that no one will need me to do anything till lunchtime next day!
|
Eating peanut butter with a spoon directly out of the jar, sitting on my screened porch with a glass of wine, watching trashy tv shows in bed.
|
Having myself a PJ day and sewing all day. With no cares.

I don't know that I'd call these "guilty pleasures" - it took me many, many years to realize that we need to nurture OURSELVES. All too often we make sure our family has everything they need before we think about our own needs, and we end up drained and cranky. So, with that in mind, here are my "self-nurturing guilty pleasures":
A foo-foo Starbucks drink and a pedicure every now and then Quiet time all to myself time spent with girlfriends - this one is really important! a secret stash of Hershey's nuggets NCIS marathons Cranking up the wood stove to the point where I have to change into shorts - (I have to wait til DH is out of town for this one, hee hee) something new from the health/beauty aids section - soap, body spray, hair clips, etc. spending an hour in my LQS petting the new fabrics. |
Reading QB for a long time each day.
|
chocolate, of course, fabric, sewing & quilting book,
now a new one trying to reel me in. Toy metal or iron sewing machines with pretty painting, flowers, etc. My glass case needs to move on for these little beauties. But money is calling to me you have a budget. |
all my stash. I keep adding to it. and geez playing games on facebook.

i love all your "guilty pleasures". but, i don't feel guilty for even one of them anymore. i loved, raised and nurtured my children, i catered to a significant other for over 20 years 24/7(whether i wanted to or not). so now, a little me time is on the schedule. to many wasted emotions on guilt. i prefer to live it up.(or at least in the confines of my budget)!!

No guilt here, I live each moment as they come!
