TMI TUESDAY

BMaidPlanner · May 2014

Guilty pleasures week! *Food doesn't count at this point, unless you've got something really outrageous. Habits? Hobbies? Obsessions? Anything!

Have fun with this one!

FAWKES81 · May 2014

I think ya'll already know this but I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. I'm sitting at my desk and listening to the soundtracks from the movies. Some of the soundtracks make me tear-up because I know exactly what part of the movie the song is from. Yeah, I'm that bad. I love the books even more than the movies and I can't wait until LO gets here so I can start reading them to him while nursing.

Also, when LO gets here there will be a pic like this one taken:

Starting young...omg so cute

Taymiller · May 2014

I don't know if it is an obsession or just my OCD but I have to have Chapstick at all times, it used to be Burt's bees but my lips rejected it and now it is just Vaseline. I have them all over the house, car and office.

Also another obsession I have special pens, they are the ONLY pens I can use. I found them in a bar in Oregon and used to steal them from the bar but when I moved to Colorado I had to find a new source. I found one in a post office and then called the company advertised on them and asked where they ordered their pens from. My husband then ordered 200 for me for my birthday. They say "best pen ever!" on them and they are the best!!

I'm going to need to know about these amazing pens. My H also has a strange obsession with finding amazing writing utensils.

Taymiller · May 2014

DH thinks I am crazy, but this is the pen. I write really hard and hate the gel pens and these have excellent ink flow and they are the best!

Me toooooo! Newborn photo shoot is on Thursday...I want to do something HP as well. I love all the onesies on Etsy "gryffindorable" "accio milk" DS came earlier than expected so I didn't get a chance to order them in time

I also mentioned to my mom about reading him HP now and she laughed...but I was serious.

FAWKES81 · May 2014

It makes me SOOOOOOOO happy to know I'm not the only Harry Potter-head on here!

zgurl49 - much of my hospital playlist is HP scores as well! They take me to my happy place!

MommyP710 - I'm going to order one of these. I was thinking someone might get me one at my showers, but the shower where the people who knew me best has already passed and I didn't get one. Now to decide which to get since they are pricey for a onesie!

lellymine · May 2014

Buying things at Sephora. I think it could be a compulsion. They rolled out a new reward tier late last year and when I found out I qualified for VIB Rouge status for their first round I was so excited but at the same time completely ashamed I has spent so much there.

So I have an addiction to Sephora and buying books. I have an ungodly amount of books. I have so many I need to read but I can't help buying another one when I'm in a store that sells them.

otter1103 · May 2014

I watch Say Yes to the Dress when no one is home. I cannot believe how much money some people will pay for a wedding dress. Then at the same time I think maybe Hubs and I should renew our vows with a big party so I can get a fun dress since I hated the one I got married but had such a tight timetable due to his deployment.
I love the David Tutera wedding shows too.
And lastly (for now) I buy hats throughout the whole winter because you can never have enough cute stocking and knit hats. It is now running over into the other seasons now though since I have a couple warm weather hats that are fabulous. Oh and maybe shoes, I love shoes! And I'll add, I really miss my shoes because they are not fat feet friendly. $:\$ ">

LindsayDesigner · May 2014

@lellymine‌ I love Sephora and books too! I've been trying really hard to not splurge but sometimes it's hard!

kbellizio3 · May 2014

I am obsessed with Captain America. To the point where I've considered getting the shield tattooed on me. DH has to keep me from buying CA things.

And the Backstreet Boys are still the best boy band ever. I would totally see them in concert again this summer (I saw them last year) but they're coming to my area shortly after the baby is born. Boooooooo

FAWKES81 · May 2014

KrystaJ each time a new book came out I would re-read the entire series and I've read the series through a couple of times since DH came out (only true potter-heads will read THAT abbreviation correctly here ) I watch each time ABC Family has a Harry Potter weekend and if I'm sick I will watch the movies to help make me feel better. I think it's healthy!

Have you ever been to WWoHP at Universal? My hubby took me there for my birthday last year (and also got me KU) It was amazing - highly recommend it. We are already planning a return trip in 2016.

Ain't it the truth!

CJnKR2014 · May 2014

Jumping on the HP train lol.... I was going to do the boy's nursery in a HP theme until I found out one of my friends was already doing that and I didnt want to look like I was stealing it from her.

I have all 8 movies and all 7 books downloaded on my phone.

Also adding TLC. I watch that channel all damn day lol I love almost every show on it haha

A HP nursery would be so neat! What did your friend do in her's that was HP inspired?

BMaidPlanner · May 2014

I watch horrible reality TV all the time when I'm by myself. Everything from Teen Mom to Kardashians and more. (Nothing with kids in pageants or honey boo boo though). The thing is, I have excellent tv, movie and theater taste, but something about this fluffy crap makes my WFH days fly by.

Oh, and HGTV. No idea why. I must want a house because those shows are never about city living or renting, lol.

love, love, love me some harry potter... books more so than movies. i remember going to the midnight release of the last book with the rest of my english teacher major friends

i need to rebuy them since students of mine over the years have taken them... jerks. i plan on reading them with my little one as they get older.

ohthatshari · May 2014

I love HP too! I can't wait to re-read all the books with LO.

@bmaidplanner Same! To literally everything you said! Glad I'm not alone!!

My number one obsession is the tv show The O.C.

I've watched the entire series countless times...Before I moved in with DH, I watched at least an episode or two (or three) every night before I went to sleep. Since living with him, I've had him watch the entire series two and a half times (We're in the middle of it now). We even mentioned The O.C. three different times in our wedding vows. LO is going to be named after my favorite character. I really love that show! lol

I actually also just really love television in general. If I'm not lurking on TB, I'm on my TV websites (Vulture, TVline, TelevisionWithoutPity, etc). I know so much random info about so many TV shows...even ones that I don't watch! lol

tbmadeamistake · May 2014

I will differ from the current nerdiness (which I fully support as DH is a nerd

), and mention literotica dot com. I do not share with DH. I feel bad sometimes because I'd rather go on there, read a story or two, and make myself happy. It's faster and cleaner and way less work than actual sex (at the moment, normally I prefer real sex). They have all different topics/genres, so I can choose what I'm in the mood for. Definitely a guilty pleasure.

I'm not 100% sure what she did because she lives in California but according to my other friends she went alllll out lol

CJnKR2014 · May 2014

@Lilygrace48‌ yep. Literotica is definitely my dirty little secret from DH lol

PressLove · May 2014

FAWKES81- That newborn photo is a great idea!

I love HGTV! DH and I can sit and watch all day.

JulieSmiles · May 2014

I love reality tv. Say yes to the dress, marriage bootcamp, the voice- I just love them. I've been married almost 4 years and still watch wedding shows at least once a week.

steprozz · May 2014

on the Harry Potter subject- I have never read any of the books and I have only seen a few of the movies, most of them not even the whole way through. Deathly Hallows part 2 was on ABC family tonight and DH made me watch it (he is obsessed) and I had NO idea what was going on the whole time. but it just finished and I'm sitting here bawling like a big baby because they just sent their kids off to Hogwarts and they were all grown up and not babies anymore. I don't even know. my hormones are raging.

FAWKES81 · May 2014

@stephross88 if you think you cried no knowing what was going on, imagine the feels if you knew what was going on the whole time. OK, I will stop now.

Taymiller · May 2014

My friend is going to Harry Potter world this weekend and I am super jealous!

kendraj426 · May 2014

I have to jump on the HP bandwagon too! I have read the books so many times most of the bindings are starting to fall apart. I actually bought a full set of them just to put on display with my other paraphernalia. I've been to Orlando to HP World, as well as Kings Cross and the Universal Studio's Tour in England. I'm hoping to get back to Orlando once they finish building Diagon Alley. Unfortunately DH isn't nearly as much a fan as I am, but he doesn't complain too much when I get the urge to watch all the movies in a weekend.

Also, Literotica is a guilty pleasure as well as Say Yes to the Dress. DH came home one night last week and I was watching Say Yes to the Dress. He was like 'Why are you watching this? We're already married!' He just doesn't get it.

My worst is probably Toddlers & Tiaras. I just love how crazy the moms (and some dads) get! However I do feel bad for the kids who clearly don't want to be there.

Want a personalized experience?
