A Few Guilty Pleasures

Peeps
I know they have these things out at all the holidays now. I just can't eat them unless Easter is here. I saw the Easter ones in the store a few weeks ago and I bought a few packages. I was so excited to get them home, slit the package open, place it on top of the fridge and wait for them to get nice and stale. I know I'm not alone in my love of STALE peeps. Mmmm! They are so yummy and melt in my mouth. It does take a good week or two to get them to that perfect texture, but it is so worth it! Jarom thinks it's totally disgusting, but he humors me. One Easter, he was a sweetie and bought a package a few weeks in advance and opened them so they were perfect by Easter.

American Idol
Now that the audition stage is over, I'm like a silly 12 year old when Tuesday night hits. I can't be bothered to answer the phone or the door either. I've got to have my weekly dose of AI. I've been watching it since the very first show and I just can't give it up. Again, this is something that Jarom lets me indulge in, yet he can't understand my obsession. This season, my favorites are David Archuleta and Brooke White. I'm also diggin' Micheal Johns and Carly Smithson. (Did I just use the word "diggin") Haha! But seriously. I LOVE this show.

100 Calorie PacksBut not just any 100 Calorie packs. These Reese's and Hershey ones are the best. There is just that little bit of a peanut butter/chocolate experience but the small pack allows me to maintain control of my peanut buttery chocolate cravings. They are a bit pricey and I'm pretty sure I could just make my own. They are pretty good and satisfying in a pinch. I bought a big pack at Costco and they have lasted over a month.

I'm with ya on the peeps! They are definitely taste the best when stale and at Easter. Any other time of the year just feels weird.

I have to agree about American Idol, DO NOT disturb me because I keep miss a thing. I agree with your choices in people, David A. is from Murray UTAH!!

I am sooo addicted to AI too!! Love it. Can't get enough of it. But I'm ready for them to get to the top 12 already.

Can I say that this is my fave post ever? It brings back good memories of USU and watching AI. I also LOVE the 100 calorie packs and stale peeps--you are not alone in your addiction.

I absolutely hate peeps, but understand the easter addiction because I can't wait until the cadbury mini eggs come out! As for the american idol I can live without, but I love dancing with the stars. I totally got hooked last season. It's fun to have something little to look forward too, especially to have an hour of "me" time, when you spend the whole day taking care of the fam!

Ash, you're picks on AI are mine, too! I have a date with the TV 3 times a week lately. I think I need to blog about this too!
