Guilty Pleasures x10

A guilty pleasure is something one considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. [thanks Wikipedia]

.x1 Alone Time: I love to spend time alone in my house doing absolutely nothing. Well maybe not nothing, but watching TV, browsing the Internet and Facebooking, cleaning and finding even more ways to do keep myself organized, no matter what I love my alone time. Shopping, movies and expensive restaurants are things I love to do alone for some reason.

.x2 Turning of my BB even when the battery isn't low: Anyone who knows me knows this BlackBerry stays glued to my hand, I need stock in RIM. But as of late I have taken extreme pleasure in shutting it off just for solice sake. I'm less aggy and I don't have that nervous energy when its off versus the need to fiddle with it if its on. For the BB/iPhone/Palm addicts...try it one day and see.

.x3 Strawberry Shortcake Serenade w/Cake Batter: Although this signature creation has been discontinued at the GREAT Cold Stone Creamery, it is still my favorite OVERLY priced dessert to indulge in -- Cake Batter flavored ice cream, yellow pound cake chunks and frozen strawberries with whipped cream....MMMmmm, GOTTA HAVE IT *tapping veins*

.x4 Shoes: High, Low, Flats, Boots, Booties, Peep Toe, Sling Back, Stilettos, Kitten Heels, Pumps...you name it I love em! Can't wait for TBD [The Blessed Day] when I'm tippin' in a pair of yup, you guessed it - Louboutins! Love them Red Bottoms!

.x5 Naps: Although they will ultimately throw off my sleep pattern I thrive off of these bad boys. The right one for me will spare innocent bystanders crankiness, snapping, attitude, unusual amounts of sarcasm and cynicism.

.x6 Greater Highway Deliverance Temple Ministries, Harlem, NY: My oasis when I need a good Word, dance, uplifting and recharging all at once. I'm not a visitor, but I'm not a member, I've been a vicarious member for years LOL. Bishop Liston Page Sr. takes me INNNN - Good old fashioned church but progressive and relevant too! When I can I steal away to 113 East 111th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues.... "And a highway shall be there!"

.x7 Lindsay Lohan's Speak CD & Lil' Kim's Notorious K.I.M. CD: These CDs on BLAST are like my "Its Okay to Be Me" playlist! Lindsay crosses color lines for me, issues are issues and the lyrics are straight from her journal. Lil Kim keeps it 1000 w/"Hold On" her debut about Biggie with Mary J. Blige and you gotta love the subliminal message of "Aunt Dot" and the DomFem that comes out in all of us in on Track 4.

.x8 Imagining Marriage and Family Life: Many a times I'll wander of in LaLa Land about how I want my marriage to be, communication, functionality, wicked intimacy and romance, all that great stuff, house in a gated community of the 'Burbs, 2 kids - boy, girl, private schools, extracurricular activities, grandparents, etc. Yea, then I snap back to reality - I still file taxes as SINGLE until further notice LOL.

.x9 Wedding Planning: So I have this fantasy wedding that I've been planning for the past few years. I wanted a Mercedes Benz Fashion Week theme, tent in Bryant Park reception at Cipriani's, runway, hired paparazzi, 4 bridesmaids, horse drawn carriage, the works to name a few -- but its my fantasy wedding thus it being so elaborate, my wallet screams at my thoughts of these LOL.

.x10 Texts That Make People Say What They Think/Feel About Me: I eat it all up -- the good, the bad, the ugly! I save 'em and reread them on long train rides. =)
