3 on Thursday, Guilty Pleasures

Cole over at All the Small Stuff has asked people to share their three guilty pleasures.

I think mine are a little different than most of theirs.  I have no interest in designer purses.  I like one pillow that is not too fluffy but not flat.  I only get one or two pedicures a year.  I have no guilt about books. I think they are good for me and the people I share them with.



In no particular order mine are:

Turtles candy.  They are over priced and hard to find around here.  I don't like the cheaper Pot of Gold versions.  I like Turtles.  When one of my sons or my husband buys them for me I get to eat the entire box or package.  One a day until they are gone.  I love them.






                                                             

My car.  I have driven grocery getters and mom-mobiles for years.  I still have my Explorer.  Last year I ordered this.  It will do 0 to 60 mph in about 5 seconds.  It can get 110 in just over a quarter mile - yes, I know this personally.  If I drive it nice it gets 30 mpg.  I never get that.  But, damn!  Is it ever fun!



My other guilty pleasure would either be fabric or sewing machines.  I just can't decide.  I have too many of both.  My family says it is okay because I share them (unlike my car and my Turtles) and I make gifts for lots of others using them.  Maybe.  I still enjoy acquiring and using all of them.  And, I am a snob.  I like nice fabric and good machines.

Okay, what are your guilty pleasures?  Hop on over to Cole's and check out the others.

  2. Turtles - check, fast cars - check and sewing/machines or fabric - check. Great choices. Mine would be - any chocolate candy with nuts (especially M7M peanuts, fudge with pecans, snickers); sitting and reading a good book and not having to cook, clean or do anything else, playing on one of my many sewing machines.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I love hearing from people. I have turned word verification back off. We will see how that works.
