This is the post in which I will lose all credibility...
I can't get enough of "kourtney and khloe kardashian take miami".
omg. It's on in the late morning and when I see it's on, it's like a car wreck and I can NOT tear my eyes away. Then I notice it's two back to back episodes and I said to myself "damn it, now I have to watch this for ANOTHER 30 minutes!" (like I have no choice in the matter.)
And I don't.
I don't understand why I am like this. WHY on earth do I watch? It's like television crack. I smoked one pipe hit and I'm hooked. I want to get clean, but that next fix feels SO good.
Does David Hasslehoff actually take himself seriously?
That seemed random, but it's not - it's playing on the tv next to me. No idea why it's on, no one is watching it. (except me apparently)
I figured out my song I'm going to dance burlesque to. I'm excited to go to the next class (we're making our shimmy belts!) and run it by the choreographer. Whom, I may add, is a super hot guy. And gay. No stereotypes there. (my friend who I'm attending this class with is a super hot lesbian. I'm so gay friendly.)
Now that I've showed you mine. Show me yours. (maybe not the best thing to type after talking about people's sexuality. But I only mean show me ~your~ guilty pleasures!!)
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me

- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Hmmmm, does my passionate love of romance novels count as a guilty pleasure if it doesn't make me ashamed? If not, I'll be damned if I know what my guilty pleasure is.
Oooh, wait a minute. Does it count if I take perverse pleasure in being able to record 2 shows while watching a previously recorded show (and do that frequently)?
Ha ha this post cracked me the fuck up!!
Ok, not to tell you my guilty pleaser. My guilty pleasure as far as t.v shows go is Tori and Dean Home Sweet Hollywood. I seriously can't get enough of them. Like you said if there is more than one on I MUST watch both of them...I MUST! Actually a few weeks ago there was a marathon on and yes, I sat in front of the TV for endless hours watching the reruns I had already seen. I just can't get enough.
Another guilty pleasure I have is getting my nails done. I know it is totally ridiculus, but they make my short little fingers look longer, and well I like that. I also try to get a massage once a month. Damn, those guilty pleasure's make me sound like a princess or something. I'm SO not!!
Have fun watching the next episode of Kourtney and Khloe!
Guilty pleasures: Blogging, chocolate, heroin, coffee.
Except I don't do heroin anymore. But FUCK it was good.
;)
What's your burlesque song?
My guilty TV pleasure is anythign reality based - Bachelor, Proj Runway, Kardashians, Denise Richards, *gulp* Kendra - you name it... I love that reality stuff cos it's too unreal to be real ;)
xxx
Man..
For me it's dorky fantasy and sci fi stuff. I can't get enough of Harry Potter. And I watch a lot of sci fi shows. But I don't attend any events or have any figures in my house!! :P It just stays in my head.
I love soap operas and watch "General Hospital", "Days of our Lives" and "Bold & the Beautiful" religiously.
I also can't get enough of "The Hills". It seems like it is very similar to your guilty pleasure... you should check it out!
You never mentioned what your song was... do we get to know or is it some kind of surprise?
My guilty pleasure is "Dog the Bounty Hunter"...lol ! I can't believe I just told you that.
I'm not even mentioning yesterday's cuz I really don't watch it regularly- but I will say that america's next top model is a ~total~ guilty pleasure! I watch reruns I have seen 3 times already- it's bad!!!
I love the bravo format competition shows- project runway, top chef- but I don't consider them ~guilty~ pleasures- I'm proud of it, haha!
The Girls Next Door. Although I'm not sure how the new season is going to turn out without Holly, Kendra and Brigette. I also encouraged DH to go and buy their first issue of Playboy that they appeared in.
Days of Our Lives, for sure. (And I watched that oh so bad Paradise Hotel show, and um Beauty & the Geek...LOL) I love my DVR!
You gonna let us in on your song choice?
One of mine is that I watch all those stupid teeny bopper shows on CW like 'Gossip Girl' 'One Tree Hill' and all that crap. I love it yet hate it at the same time. And anything reality. It amazes me the idiots that populate this earth that are willing to embarrass themselves on TV. Oh and Maury. I can't get enough of "Which of These 10 Men is the Babydaddy".
Definitely "The Real Housewives of Atlanta!" I love Nene!
Right now, I've been tearing through all the Alexander McCall Smith novels like they were crack-laced Belgian truffles. I'm guilty because, well, as a grad student, you're always supposed to be reading "important" crap about your topic or whatever.
So annoying.
I used to say "how can people watch reality tv?" um and now I have a problem. Househusbands of Hollywood is a problem for me. It just started airing and whenever it's on, I cannot help watching it, even if I've seen it before. I'm hooked on that and Tori and Dean - I probably shouldn't even admit this.
I'm addicted to the new "90210". I was on pins and needles after the new season episode ended last night, not wanting to wait until next week to see what happens next. What a loser I am.
I'm sorry I got distracted when you said "super hot lesbian"
What were you saying? Guilty pleasures? What?
Wish the L Word were still on.
Nuff said.
XO

omg, I'm hooked on Khloe and Kourtney too, it's horrible but I can't stop watching it.
I'm also in love with Cake Boss and poor Josh is hooked too. We watched 3 hours in a row of it the other day.
I'm completely addicted to "Gossip Girl". And, if Daisy of Love or Rock of Love is on when I'm flipping channels I get sucked in.
I usually love trashy TV but can't watch that show. I guess it seems so scripted. But I can get why you like it.
Oh ugh! I admit I have found myself glued to the tv while this show is on, as well. It IS addicting! Even though as I watch, I feel like it's melting my brain! lol
Okay that last post was actually from ME and not my hubby who never remembers to log off the lap top! gRRRR...
Beyond Twilight? Rereading Harry Potter, Across the Universe, and onion rolls.
The Twilight books. Yep, I was addicted to them.
I am also addicted to Biggest Loser. The show makes me cry every week. I cannot wait until next week when the new season begins!
(btw ... I'm still laughing at Eden's comment.)
Lollipop ... OMG. Across the Universe. Are you talking about that movie? I've watched it like 17 times lately.
(that's where I got my burlesque song idea!)
Trashy novels and Judge Judy. Those are my guilty pleasures...
I LOVE the Kardashians! It's sad, but so true. I don't even want to stop watching that show. I can't get enough of it! My guilty pleasure are my baths! I take them when it gets too hectic around here. I ask if anyone needs to go in there BEFORE I get in the tub. After I get in the tub, ALL bets are off. this is MY time *sigh* I love my baths!
*HUGS*
Ok so my TV ones are like Jenera those 16 dudes tested none of them is the baby daddy Maury shows and sadly on ABC family BOTH The Secret Life of the American Teenager (TERRIBLE acting) and Make it or Break it....
I admit it world...I like ABC family shows....
I know I'm WAY late on this but my guilty pleasure are all VH1 reality shows. They are such trainwrecks. My favorites are: Rock of Love, Charm School and I Love Money.
