Our vices are SO similar. If left to my own devices, I fear our diet would be Dunkin Donuts in the morning, for lunch I'd probably still do PB&J, but for dinner...I'd hit every pizza, hamburger and tex mex place nightly if I could. But my more frugal and healthy dh puts his foot down.  |

You mean this is a vice?????

Tex Mex, no. I do Tony's NY Pizza, but they have everything Italian. I'd eat there every night if I had my druthers.

Ah yes, Italian. There is no good Italian where I live. None. It's very depressing.

And I would love to hang with Jenn, Fuzzy, and Jess in town and do THAT Tony's more often... but ahhh... one opened near us!!  (You know... I still can't figure out why in this ladylike forum we don't have an emoticon smacking or licking its lips???)
Patty, you'll have to come again to Manassas and go to Tony's -- great Italian stuff beyond pizza!! 
While I LOVE Panera's... Chinese is only novel.. not a passion, so it would not be on the list.

DITTO! My family moved to CO when I was in highschool. I got to go back to CA to visit my friends one summer and that is what I wanted to eat the most...and that was the last time I've seen one...

Okay...I can't stay away from this thread either.
Big one for me is chewing crushed ice...most especially with a yummy juice or soda in it. Drives my dh crazy...between my cracking knuckles (I know really bad) and my crushing ice. I know when I break a tooth, I'll get no sympathy!
I'm a big movie fan, and I can watch certain movies like it's just a part of my life, they would be the "can't live without on a desert island type movies" - LOTR, POTC, I'm a sucker for Good Will Hunting and Armageddon (I know I know...that last one rates high on the B-movie list...but it still gets me everytime!) I like to stick them in at night, at different parts, and just watch some of it...dh doesn't understand how I can watch the same thing over and over! (and just a goober aside...I skip over all Frodo and Gallum parts in LOTR...I get nightmares! HA!)
And ofcourse the computer...but I'm getting better, really, I think!

Now, that's funny! However, looking at that long list of kiddoes in your signature line, I don't think it's working!

Oh, I used to do this all the time - ad it drove dh crazy too. Then I got a filling on one side, and a messed up root canal on the other, and now I can't...but I still want to...

Laura you are so much more mature than me! I should learn from you.
You know I heard one time that chewing ice is a symptom of some sort of mineral deficiency or something like that. Because I have gone through a phase where I didn't want any ice in my drink, but then all of sudden I was back to the crushed ice all the time. Who knows!

Can I count this as my first vice?
2. Books.
3. Diet Pepsi. I quit when I'm pregnant or nursing, and then go right back to it. 
4. Bags. Right now I have two Vera Bradley baby bags, 3-4 LL Bean totes (including a huge one with flowered handles and my initials embroidered on it that I could not live without ), several pocketbooks, and two backpacks.
5. The Internet.

One more for me...Dr. Pepper Soda Pops. Just found these at Walgreens last week. They are popsicles that taste like Dr. Pepper. I had to go buy a second package so my kids could try them. I downed the first twelve all by myself.
