What are Your SECRET indulgences...

Kelly · Hermes

I keep it a secret from everyone how many magazines I read on a monthly basis. It's like I'm addicted to them. I spend waaaayyy too much money on them.

I also don't think I've ever told any "real-life" friends about ST or another two boards I frequent. I know it's dumb, but I feel like they'd think I was nutty for spending so much time on online forums!

ETA: My BF does know about one other forum, because while there is a lot of regular chit-chat, the main thing that brings people to the board is a common health problem. So I've mentioned it to him a few times when I talk about a new medication I want to try or something new I found out about my problem that I didn't know before. He's the only one who knows about it, though, and I'm pretty sure he thinks I just spend a couple minutes a week on there.

I dont really have any that I consider "secret". I only have a few rare indulgances . M&M's (which I only eat now a few times a year) Cupcakes (which I probably only eat once a year) Lifetime tv ( again , never have any actual time to watch it) ... Thats all I can think of!

I don't tell anyone about st, either. They wouldn't understand. Also, I love really bad pop music. Thank God for Itunes!

HAHAHA I am laughing right now that we all keep mum on the ST thing. Thank god we have each other :) I too am a magazine JUNKIE..it is almost embarressing at the checkout line, when I have US weekly, Glamour, Cosmo, Star, and Self all is one bundle. I even told one lady I was going on a long airplane ride hahahaha NO..I was just going to sit in the bathroom while giving my kids a bath and READ for the next few nights. The sad part is how excited I get to buy them very week ahhhhhh the little fuzzies in life :) Other than mags, I have a shameful liking for "The HIlls" show in MTV...yes I am 28 yrs old, but I like it. So there. Wouldn't admit it to anyone face to face hehehe.

Ramen noodles and mac and cheese from a box. I was a food writer. I LOVE good food. But every once in a while I just want something totally processed and a color not really found in nature...

So true!!

Kitty · Hermes

- Watching The Hills (I trash talk that show all the time to people..but secretly watch it!

)

- Watching kids movies/shows. I'll watch these and then my boyfriend will walk in and I'll quickly flip the channel.

- Occasionally I'll read dumb chick lit books. I keep this a secret because I have a degree in American Literature and I'm a book snob for the most part, so I can't let anyone know that I occasionally enjoy pure trash!

- My style diary. If any of my real life friends/family knew I was taking photos of my outfits and posting them online, they would think I was absolutely nuts.

- Eating fat free cool whip like it's ice cream.

cahabo · Kate Spade

Lotto tickets and scratch tickets. I am definitely not a gambler though. I only purchase one ticket per game if the jackpot is really high. Crossing my fingers for that $370 million Mega Millions jackpot! I don't buy much scratch tickets as I used to. I've bought a couple of American Idol scratch tickets recently in hopes of getting a losing ticket to mail in for a chance to win a trip to the finale!

kittenheels · Coach

Even before ST, I would periodically just try on my clothing and play around with outfits. It's not really fun to do with an audience beyond my cats

Watching truly atrocious TV. Like Cheaters. And scaring myself silly with forensic science/true crime shows!

haha I do this, but I the only time I actually change the channel when someone comes in is if I'm watching shows on the disney channel. Otherwise, I'll keep them on. Most of the time people laugh, but they sit down right next to me and watch it! I had a classmate (this tough looking guy, too) recently admit to the whole lecture class that his favorite show is the Magic School Bus!

I get annoyed when my BF won't watch Looney Tunes with me

Bastet · Kate Spade

Only Dh and one friend know about ST. Dh is amused, but doesn't make fun of me because he posts on computer game boards all the time.

As for "secret" indulgences... I am addicted to Pirate's Booty. Seriously, I go through two or three bags a week. It's made of cheddar-coated crack or something. Sooooo good.

Collette · Chanel

Sometimes I go to the gym and dont' even work out. They have this really nice TV room in the women's locker room and it's all quiet with big comfy leather seats. So I sit and watch the view then go lay in the steam room, then the sauna, then back to the steam room get a smoothie, pick up some sushi for lunch and go home. Then I tell DH I spent 2 hours at the gym. Never mention that I dont' work out.

This made me laugh so hard Collette - I can totally see you doing it too!

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

LOL! So funny, but Joe already calls me vain, for when *I do take pics. of myself/my outfits, so OH WELL!
*I also love to watch the Disney Channel. I'll never really grow up, and why should I? LOL
*Love those dang Ramen Noodles - a quick meal, or when there's no food in the house.....
*Skittles AND Starburst, can't get enough. When I crave them, there's no stopping me...

Collette, you crack me up. I love that you go and watch tv at the gym and have lunch and leave. It sounds very fabulous.

My secret indulgence is Super Nanny. DH HATES the show, but somehow I find it oddly compelling, made all the more odd by the fact that we don't even have kids yet.

I totally watch the show when he's not home and then quickly change the channel when he walks in the door.

Ok now that is funny!!

Elle · Hermes

Collette, you soooo rock!!!

Mine are:
- Mac&cheese from a box
- A Baby Story on TLC
- Making a batch of brownies, eating the entire thing by myself in one day, and then washing the pan and airing out the house so Mr. Elle won't know . I don't discriminate with my sweets though - cookies, ice cream .... fair game I say! I only bring those things into the house rarely, because I literaly can't eat anything else until they're gone.
- ST
- Researching babies, pregnancy, names, etc. I don't know why I find it soooo interesting, and can at best rationalize it as premature research, but I can't stop!
