Yes What's your Sinful retreat??

By sinful I don't mean something really bad, but you know something you do for yourself that you like. Like when you get stressed, upset, or just feel like doing it. For instance, my retreats are starbucks frappucinos (sp?), hello kitty items ( this gets quite expensive), tapioca smoothies ( aka bubble tea ). I usually drink the smoothies when I get sad or stressed, and I'm a slave to hello kitty so I usually buy an item of it if I see it available in a store. And lately I've been investing in puppy sweaters for my boyfriend's dog so I think that is another thing to add to my list. :P

What about the rest of you?

I don't really have a sinful retreat, I just listen to music, write songs and poems, and journal.

Ohhh that's another thing I do! Knit! Although I usually do that during winter ( so I should start up again soon.) And I had to stop for awhile because my boyfriend said I was getting obsessed. I started knitting on dates, in the car, at movies. It was getting ridiculous. :P

Re: What's your Sinful retreat??

haha! when I first started Knitting I did it everywhere! I knitted at resturaunts waiting for my order! I even knitted while I was walking around down town Boston...Don't know how I did that one...I'm the kind of person who can't walk and chew gum at the same time!Do you have the Stitch and B*tch book? Not sure if I can put the actual title here! The new one just came out and I can't wait to get it! everyone is getting scarfs for the holidays this year!

Re: What's your Sinful retreat??

No, I haven't got that book. But maybe I should :P. I'm still working on the pair of boxers my boyfriend wanted me to make for him last christmas. Had to restart though since I was beginning to make the weave too loose, and well....that isn't very good for underwear.

Knitted boxers!! hehe My boyfriend asked me to knit him some pants. I asked him if he was out of his mind! That's funny that you're actually making boxers...I was thinking of making fleece ones for my guy...maybe I'll look into knitting some.

Re: What's your Sinful retreat??

retreat is sitting down with something (or three somethings) that is considered a 'treat' in my house (and that i'm not supposed to have more than one a day, granola bars (the ones with the chocolate chips and stuff), candy or cookies) and looking through every dog book or magazine that i own. Usually i start trying to find out information, but i always end up staring at the cute puppies and dogs wishing really really hard that i could get one.
