Guilty pleasures -- everyone’s got ‘em but not everyone is gutsy enough to admit ‘em. Well, must be the hot summer sun here in DC or too many bus fumes, but here’s my list (not in any special order):
Vegas – what’s better than a
few all-nighters loaded with craps, clubs, good eats and then an affordable
room that could sleep 12? Actually the
bathroom sleeps 12.

Fast cars – I know they’re
definitely not “green,” but I’ve been a car lover all my life and ‘til now have
liked cars that (sadly) guzzle gas like a 1960 Corvette. But, I am eyeing the new Tesla.
Any movie – doesn’t matter if
it’s Journey to the Center of the Earth (with Pat Boone) or a Sundance award
winner, I will literally watch anything on a big screen where they also sell
popcorn. I am that discriminating.
Reality TV – Def taken with every
show from “The Fatsos of Marin County” to “Watch Me Eat Bugs.” Made up the titles, but you catch my drift.
Facebook –No, I’m not a 23 yr
old (but have one) but it is such a kick to connect with “kids” I was friends
with and barely said a word to in high school.
Unfortunately most look like my grandparents these days.
Online dating – as a single
mom with a college grad on the west coast, it’s a good way to fill time while
scouting
out the landscape. And if Jon
Hamm’s twin brother happens to be online within 50 miles of DC, so much the
better.
