Curling up in front of the fire on a cold afternoon with a lap quilt and a good book, writing real letters on paper to people I want to keep in my life, chocolate of course (goes without saying), having someone come in once a month to really clean my house (Yay!!)
driving in my car, all alone, with the music loud and the windows down.

guilty pleasures: horseback riding in the fall, in the leaves; making brownies and licking the bowl; adding fabric to a stash that has already assumed a life of its own; watching old movies (i mean REALLY old movies) for too many hours a week; staying in my PJs until noon on a day off; ignoring the real chores and focusing on what i WANT to do, not what i'm supposed to do; polishing the silver even when company's NOT coming; burning incense in the living room, and watching the lazy smoke crawling across the sunbeams in the air (it drives hubby nuts); reading when i can--even cooking with a book in one hand...the list goes on.
when i finally get home from work (i hate 12 1/2 hour shifts, and having to be on call afterwards) i really don't want to do much of anything. so i sit with my laptop on my lap (that's why they named it laptop, isn't it??) and read this board, catch up on e-mail, read some blogs, look at facebook, etc. i don't drink, i don't party, i don't carouse--i "computer". that's probably my biggest guilty pleasure...

I'm not going to add spending to much time reading quiltboard because I don't feel the least bit guilty.

No guilt here -I raised my son-kept the house clean-cooked-worked 60hr weeks along side of my husband-and rarely spent money on myself so now it's my turn to splurge on myself when I have a couple extra dollars.
