guilty pleasures

According to wikipedia (which we all know is the ulitmate source for all truths), a guilty pleasure is defined as: 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.

Pretty Little Liars - ABC Family Tuesday nights @ 7:00



Hanna, Emily, Spencer, & Aria



I was hesitant with this show. I thought when it premeired last year that it would be for teenagers. But then again, I like lots of things meant for teenagers *cough* twilight *cough*. I slowly but surely got addicted to this show. I recently learned it's based off of a series of books. I kinda want to read them. Jarrett thinks I am too old to like this show, but I don't think so.

My synopsis: These 4 girls were all BFFs with another girl named Alison. They had a sleepover at Spencer's house - like out in some barn or something. Alison went missing...a year later Alison's body was found very near said barn. Now the 4 girls are keeping all kinds of secrets & someone is sending them text messages signed "A" - things that Ali knew. I haven't quite figured out who knows all of the truth about Ali's death, but they are all definitely hiding something. Love the dramz!

Switched at Birth - ABC Family Monday nights 8:00

Daphne & Bay

I love this show too. I wasn't sure about it. But after the first episode I'm hooked. These 2 highschool girls were, you guessed it, switched at birth. Yet another teenage drama that I love. Jarrett hasn't had the pleasure of watching this with me yet. I am sure he thinks I am too old for this show too, whatev.

And as if my guilty pleasure TV shows weren't enough, I have my books.

True Blood (aka: Sookie Stackhouse Series)

These are the best books. I took a month long hiatus from reading them. But now, I'm back baby. I just powered through book #4 (the best one yet) & started book #5. Mommy's busy, give me some time to myself ok.

I want so badly to convince Jarrett that we need HBO so I can watch the True Blood series on Sunday nights. I don't know if I can justify the added expense for 1 stinkin' show.

There we have it, my current guilty pleasures. I have lots more, but these are probably my favorite.
