The ultimate guilty pleasure

OK, I *have* to admit it... I am officially hooked on the CW soap Gossip Girl. I've always ignored the buzz about it since I don't usually follow whatever's cooking in the mainstream lane. But somehow I gave in. The show is cleverly written, which surprised me. The dialogue is fast, fresh and filled with annotations of everything from People magazine to Russian cult movies. The characters may be shallow and the plots change turns faster than most people change underwear, but we forgive them because of the soundtrack, the fashion and the pace.

I didn't think this show would be my cup of tea, but OMG.... I surrender. Perky Serena, sinister Blair, innocent Jenny, ambitious Rufus, preppy Nate and free-spirited Vanessa drag me flat on my face into the Upper East Side drama. And I'm not sure I want to leave just yet.

Here's my advice. Have a little faith, and if that doesn't work, have a lot of mimosas.

Guilty Pleasures!

I admit it.... I don't have a lot of self discipline.



I am not good about diets, I don't get up early, and I am pretty lazy when it comes to housecleaning. But at least I admit it, right?



One of my favorite things is cuddling up in a blanket with a cup of tea, reading a good book. I welcome cooler weather just because of this.



Now, let's take a look at my Top 10 Guilty Pleasures!



1) I love reading glossy mags under the covers. Especially while eating popcorn. (Yes, it leaves a mess.)



2) Eating chocolate. LOTS!



3) Postponing chores..... I HATE chores. I'd rather surf the web and read about piglets.



4) Shopping!! (Savings account? Whaaaa..?)



5) Playing Super Nintendo.



6) Watching 90210! (Don't tell anyone, but I actually enjoy it. Love me some 90s retro action!)



7) Reading stuff that grosses me out... I know you like that too.



8) Pretending the bills don't exist. Out of sight, out of mind.



9) Iced Vanilla Lattes. (Daily. Don't tell hubby.)



10) Reading boring people's facebook statuses. I don't know why, but it amuses me.
