Day 17: My guilty pleasure

I'm going to admit that though I kinda knew what "guilty pleasure" meant, I had to google it to make sure I understood the term correctly. So, accordingly to wiki, this is the definition:

A guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. The "guilt" involved is sometimes simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, such as campy styles of entertainment. Fashion, video games, music, films, and junk food can be examples of guilty pleasures.

I don't have a shopping addiction I hide from my husband. I don't look at porn or sleezy websites. I don't hide chocolates beneath my pillow or something. So I do apologise for being such a goody 2-shoes today, but there's not really any guilty pleasures I can admit to. I have lots of things I enjoy, obviously, but none of them make me hide it, or feel guilty about it. I'm really a very open book. And I don't feel guilty about my (lack of) style, fashion, likes/dislikes, etc. At this age, I'm quite happy with who I am, and don't feel I owe anyone anything, that would make me feel guilty, iykwim? So I guess the closest thing I have to a guilty pleasure, is that I spent too much time online. Sometimes, it would be good for me, for the house, for my husband and for my children, if I would spend a little less time on my laptop. ;-)
