1. We started the weekend enjoying the music of Maurice & Doubleday – my favorite Savannah musicians. I am not sure why this is a guilty pleasure, although just looking at these guys, you know that they are guilty of something. Jim, with the glasses, is my special buddy and a sweetheart. We asked Jimmy, with the bow-tie, to look as intelligent as possible for the picture. Two very talented guys.
2. I could eat frozen yogurt everyday, but I try to limit it to once a week. This past week, I had it three times. Oh well. I pretend it is healthy by picking the no- or low-fat, no sugar added options, if available, and then I top it with fresh and toasted coconut and dark chocolate chips. Sometimes I will add nuts. If the “healthy” options aren’t available, I give myself credit for trying and then I get flavors like cake batter, peanut butter, chocolate milkshake and oreo cookie. My mix of flavors usually grosses my husband out. Best. thing. ever.
2. Like most people, we go at a crazy pace during the week. We are up early in the morning to exercise and then get into work. Our days are full and by the weekend, we are exhausted. All week I look forward to my Saturday and Sunday afternoon naps – and I structure my weekend days around them. My second favorite nap partner – my sweet Gracie.
4. I try not to drink during the week. I need to be up and going in the morning and I don’t want to feel draggy. Come Friday night though, I am READY for some wine!!! This weekend (and most weekends) my wine of choice is a lovely chilled Clos DuBois Chardonnay on ice.
5. This one is a little embarrassing. I think I am addicted. I have never had these issues before in my life – I have always been very clean cut. I am not sure how it happened – maybe it is that I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. But Caroline and Jacqueline seemed so nice at first, and Teresa is such a wild card – so much fun! And then there are my old friends Tamra and Vickie. I love being in their presence. Ok, I need to just say it – IwatchRealHousewives. I like the New Jersey and Orange County versions. Actually, who am I kidding? I watch the New York one too.
So funny about #5….I just had a conversation on FB with some college friends (about reality TV) to which I added this post: “Why oh why, do I watch Housewives of Orange County?!” You are not alone!!
Jenny – so nice to know that strong intelligent women watch that darn show too. Maybe we should ease up and not beat ourselves up for watching it – is it any worse than watching two men pulverize each other in a boxing match?
That is sort of what it is…a big verbal (and sometimes non-verbal) boxing match…with interesting (right/sort of?) characters….(and lots of BLING!!) It’s a great escape. But I am still not completely sure why I am drawn to it….
