Secret indulgences?

Ooo...I thought of another one (non food too!)

Visiting the adoptable pets at the pet stores. I love just goofing off with the other animals.

I thought of another one for me...I am a huge PBR (professional bull riding) fan. I watch it every chance i get!!!! Chris Shivers and Justin McBride are my favs!!!!!

Well, it's no secret, but I do enjoy tea! I buy it loose from an importer, pre-warm the teapot, carefully measure the tea and set the timer. For me the whole ritual is part of the fun. I can spend a good hour going through the catalog and reading the descriptions of all the lovely teas of India, Africa, China and more!

That's exactly what I do! One of mine is drinking tea at night after dinner. We have about 8-10 different loose leaf teas and I'm in the process of trying more trial sizes.

The best sweetener I have found IMO is called " sugar in the raw". It's natural and brings out the full flavor of the tea without me having to put a pound of sugar in it. I may use two packets at the most.

Mmmmmm - those are good too! Especially the pickled ones! I also have a thing for those itty bitty pickled ears of corn.

Back to the pickle jar for me!

English Toffee capuccino is another indulgence of mine! When I first moved to Texas, I couldn't find it anywhere! I was so happy when they started selling it in the cans at Wal-Mart!

I couldn't agree more! I think refined sugar has a metallic taste and I buy my natural sugar in bulk from my local organic foods co-op.
My fave tea at them moment is a tippy Kenyan.

My favorite tea currently is Sencha Kyoto Cherry Rose Festival Green Tea and after that one I'd have to say Green Rooibos Key Largo.

I ran out of the natural sugar one time, so I went back to using regular white sugar and I couldn't drink it anymore.

I don't think that is weird! That is a great smell, especially the first rain after a dry spell.
I also love the smell of my Beauty Without Cruelty products. They had organic essential oils in them and smell really good!

Every once in a great while when it is really cold and nasty out I will call in sick. No one ever suspects because I so rarely call in sick and I never tell anyone at work that I wasn't really sick.

CHEESECAKE!!!! Publix sells individual slices. . . When I am in need of some comfort food I deffinatley go get some!

Oh Denice, you sneakypants!! I wish I could get away with that, but people know I'm sickeningly healthy - and I've a tendency to go to work when I'm sick anyway. I don't take a day off unless I can't move. I work outdoors too... when I'm not there, I'm missed. Besides, I can't leave all my feral furbabies out there to be taken care of by a stranger!!

btw, thanks a lot...I've been craving cookie dough since I made that post.

Oh Kenzie you rub off on me Guess where i went last night They had ALL of their cute panties from the semi-annual sale for $2.99! I bought quite a few of them, i really needed some new ones, so i was thankful for a great sale!!! Their bath stuff was all really on sale too I stocked up for the year I LOVE Victorias Secret I try really hard only to shop twice a year during their semi-annual sales though so i don't spend an arm and a leg (key work...try )

Nope, I don't have any secret indulgences (with food)--I'm diabetic, so I have to watch what I eat, and use portion control. (I have to count "exchanges"--you get so many lean meat, fat, starch, etc. per day.)

Despite this, I've still put on a bit of weight over the past 4 years. Must be those "secret indulgences " I claim I don't have!

My non-food ones: reading in the bathroom; and liking to eat alone, so I can read, and just plain being/reading alone. My other one: reading domestic blogs--rather boring to most folks, but I like them.

Polishing my granite sink-tops. I know this is weird. But, I love to see them gleam--and it's so easy (just wipe up any wet marks with a dry paper towel, and keep rubbing), so I find myself doing this a lot each day.

Organizing my pantry and my laundry room, and making cute ID tags for the storage baskets. Even if the rest of the house is in chaos (and it often is), I feel that, if I have these neat and tidy, I have some control! Or, maybe I'm just nuts. I'm betting on #2 here.

Polishing silverware--I find it relaxing. I've gotten some very good bargains on tarnished silver, and love taking it home, and making it pretty again.

Watching true crime docus on A&E. (And reading true murder stories.) My "dark" side!

Yard sales. I love getting a good bargain.

Yummmmmm! Actually, on a diabetes diet, 2 tblsp. of Cool Whip is a free exchange (doesn't need to be counted).

I must admit, though, I prefer the aerosol whipped cream.

Alright, here goes... I love chocolate, all kinds, my favorite thing is to get the Jelly Belly dinasaur eggs with the gummy dinasaur in the center, eat the candy shell, scarf down the chocolate (Im doing all this while in the bathroom so I dont have to share with the 3 kids) and then give them the gummy Dinasaur!! hehe, sometimes I have to do it 3 times just to make sure that all 3 kids get a dinasaur! They are yummy!

I like anything thats really sweet, cheesecake, COOKIE DOUGH!! YUMMY!!

I would rather cuddle with my kitties than my husband....

I must confess, I LOVE MONSTER TRUCKS!!! Grave Digger is my favorite!

if I told you it wouldn't be a secret now would it? just kidding.

lately my thing to indulge in is white cheddar rice cakes. I can never get sick of them. they are healthy too. I would love to have a nice bubble bath but our tub is old and we need to remodel it. I also indulge myself in the famous soap opera days of our lives. and in this site! I know I haven't posted much but I love lurking when I am too tired to post. I love ice cream, any sweets really. cereal is a big favorite and chocolate anything chocolate. and I LOVE holiday candy especially hollow chocolate easter bunnies. and valentines chocolate and Christmas candy.

I love cheese, too. I can never get enough of cheese although I will not eat american cheese the kraft singles. only on a grilled cheese sandwich. I love food what can I say?

and in the winter I love to drink hot chocolate because it's so cold and this winter I will probably have to stock up on hot chocolate because we have a lot of snow that almost goes up to your knees. the only thing I would rather not indulge myself in is in snow..

Mine is milk chocolate....a must have in my house
