a. The Hourglass sweater
b. a simple washcloth for easy knitting
c. some new and exciting project
d. another pair of socks
If you guessed d), you are correct! I'll be casting on in a few minutes for a pair of Opal socks. I've never worked with Opal yarn, so I'm excited to try it out.
Inspired by Elisa's post here, I've decided to list my guilty pleasures.
Movies: Newsies, Office Space, Neverending Story, Princess Diaries, Untamed Heart, Bed of Roses
TV: Survivor (I've been hopelessly addicted since the premiere of the first season), Cops (which Jason LOVES), Antiques Roadshow, Find!
Anything found on Mtv: ie Newlyweds, Ashely Simpson show, Real World
Anything found on the Food network: literally anything. I will watch it all, but I'm especially addicted to Good Eats, 30 Minute Meals (even though I find Rachael Ray terribly annoying) and Paula Deen
I enjoy watching The View and Young & The Restless. (blame the latter on my mom who watches it and got me hooked early early on when I was home sick from school)
Music: everything 80s, Bluegrass, Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals (blame Junior High Show Choir and High School Jazz Choir), BeeGees (pre-disco, which is less guilty!), Kenny Rogers (I know I know)
Books: currently, I'm hopelessly addicted to Western/Pioneer romance novels. Don't ask me why. It's a sickness really. I could also read and re-read all the Little House books, including the ones that have been recently written in the "style" and follow Carolyn's and Rose's lives. I also have read all the Lemony Snicket books, the Mates, Dates... books, and the Traveling Pants books.
Magazines: In Touch, US Weekly, Lifestyle. I'm such a sucker for the celebrity trashy magazines.
Food: Stouffer's Mac and Cheese-- YUM YUM YUM. Just don't look at the serving size-- 2 servings per individual little portion! YIKES. I crave Stouffer's Mac and Cheese.
Frozen bananas covered in Hershey syrup. Man what you discover when your cabinets are nearly bare-- delicious substitute for ice cream.
Any sandwich with potato chips or Doritoes added. The added crunch is delicious.
Pizza Rolls. What's guilty about this is how I eat them. I eat the filling out of all of them first and then the actual roll. I know, disgusting, but it's the only way I enjoy them.
Entire packages of baby carrots, cooked. I seriously will eat the entire package. I love cooked carrots.
Very dirty martinis. I add an incredibe amount of olive brine. I think we have about 3 jars of naked olives (no brine) in the fridge. Drives Jason mad.
Other odd addictions:
I love shampoo, and will try just about every kind. I buy fingernail polish to perk myself up, and I love face masks.
So... what are your guilty pleasures?
While my blog-writing skills may not represent my results, I was not a bit surprised at what I scored on this online quiz. After all, I'm a certified ENGLISH teacher!
