Here's a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully. – Sigourney Weaver

Since writing about 14 Interesting Facts About Myself, and asking several of my students I teach the question of what their guilty pleasures are, most of them don't understand this question, and even after explaining it, the answers can be pretty amusing. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary guilty pleasure is defined as, "something that induces a usually minor feeling of guilt." Well, I thought to lighten the mood, as well as share a little more about myself, I would admit to 10 of my guilty pleasures that some may know about me, others may not, and some may be shocked or surprised by this list. Therefore, enjoy!

7. WORKING IN SWEATPANTS
I'm not a suit guy, but more of a t-shirt and jeans guy, however I'd rather wear sweats all the time, except in hot weather climates.
5. SEEKING SOLITUDE
I know that there are several people that have monophobia (fear of being alone) and this is one thing that creative people do.
3. SLEEPING WITH LOTS OF PILLOWS
Back at my house in Colorado I would have at least six pillows on my bed, and while that's not always an option traveling, when this does happen it brightens my day!
