It’s Day 3 of Summer Camp<\/a> and we’ve been asked to tell you our guilty pleasures.<\/p>\n

My first thought is immediately “chocolate sodas, s’mores, Suzy Qs. . . ” and so on. But really? Why should those be guilty pleasures? Why should the word guilt immediately bring up the foods I most enjoy? <\/p>\n

Yes, I’m fat. <\/p>\n

No, I don’t like being fat.<\/p>\n

But I like to eat and I am active (or at least getting back to being active now that Elsa allows me to drop her off at the gym) and who cares if I’m fat? Mike loves me. I don’t need to impress anyone else.<\/p>\n

Ah, the lovely food issues.<\/p>\n

So what do I do that really<\/i> causes guilt?<\/p>\n

Shop for little girl clothes, especially dresses. <\/p>\n

Dresses are entirely impractical. Elsa has a hard time going up and down the stairs when I put her in a dress. We live in a three story townhouse, so that tends to be a problem. But they are cute! So cute!<\/p>\n

When Erik needs clothes, I go to a couple of stores, stock up on a bunch of clothes that won’t make me poke my eyes out and will meet his needs and we’re done until the season changes or his pants start looking like high waters. <\/p>\n

Elsa basically never needs clothes because I am always shopping for her. I have weaned myself away from the deal-a-day sites, but I still manage to find myself at the mall or Kohl’s a little more often than necessary. <\/p>\n

I want to say that hand-me-downs are just fine for her and they are<\/i> just fine for her. She had a million cute little things her first year, most of them hand-me-downs. I really do like picking out her clothes myself, though.<\/p>\n

And shhhhhhhhhh. . . don’t tell anyone. Yesterday at Kohl’s there was an irresistible dress only available in size 4T. She currently wears size 24 month (2T is too slender for her). Ummm. Yeah. that dress is now hanging in her closet. It will be perfect for dress-up occasions in a year or two.<\/p>\n

Hey! I had a 30% off coupon. They were basically giving it to me, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
