It’s the most wonderful time of the year…… Did you just sing the rest in your head? I did…HA! No, I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m talking about FALL!!! I LOVE fall and everything that comes with it! To me fall is all about my favorite guilty pleasures…I’m talking about the return of all of my very favorite tv shows, the Miss America pageant, college football (WPS!!), and of course, the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte!!

Can we talk about Pumpkin Spice Lattes first? I have been an addict since I moved to central Arkansas six years ago. My apartment was next to a Starbucks and I was working night shift at the time and developed a once a day habit. It was BAD!! These days I’m trying to stick to once a week and since it’s been so hot out I have Pumpkin Spice Frappuccinos instead. Sooooo yummy!!!

I don’t know about you but I absolutely look forward to all of my favorite shows returning in the fall! I love me some Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, 19 Kids and Counting, and Resurrection just to name a few! Does it seem like they are all starting late this year? Just me? Hmmmm…

I also love college football!! Confession time- I went to a really small school in south Arkansas and we didn’t have a football team so I don’t really understand football at all! I went to the games when I was in college but that was only to flirt with the frat guys. HA! I even dated a football coach for a while but I just never understood the game. I have also never been to a Razorback football game! Please don’t revoke my Arkansas card after that statement. However, after all of those confessions that does not stop me from cheering my little heart out for the Razorbacks each game day!! WOOOO PIG SOOIE!!!

And last, but not least my other guilty pleasure is watching the Miss America pageant. I have watched it every year for as long as I can remember. I used to have watch parties with my Mom and then my friends but the last few years I have just DVRed it and watched it later. Time for another confession- I totally used to make myself “Miss Arkansas” “Miss America” and “Miss Universe” sashes out of ribbon and prance around my room in my swimsuit and my Mom’s heels and my sashes. What can I say? I had high hopes! So yes, watching the Miss America pageant is most definitely a guilty pleasure.

Now that I have confessed all of my embarrassing confessions, what are your guilty pleasures?
