Mine is watching Gossip Girl. I also smoke cigarettes when I have a night out with the girls (I know, tsk tsk). What's the most embarrassing/surprising vice you have?
Loving it. I guess, as someone pointed out, these would be better called guilty pleasures. I think I might have to incorporate some of your pleasures into my own life!

My secret vice is mamapedia at work, lol.... everyone thinks I am working sooo hard, but really I am just chatting with you fine people!
I have also always been somewhat interested in girls, I had a girlfriend once and had always kind of been on the fence before I got married, and sometimes I even think I would be happier without a man....(I do love my hubby, I just get along with women better and think my stress level would be lower)

coca-cola used to be my vice until i got pregnant. after i quit i never took a sip again. it's been over 7 years.
my secret vice? well when i am nervous i eat sunflower seeds. the process relaxes me.
another secret vice? i shop online. i put stuff in the cart then i get off the computer so i don't click BUY :) that way i feel like i took an awesome shopping trip without spending the money. crazy huh. and then there are those times when i count 1-2-3 and click buy. this happens when i am not fast enough to get off the computer. ahhh shopping is my best friend.

Well Caffeine and smoking aren't secrets in my house. I would say mindless TV, a lot of people wouldn't expect I would watch some of the shows I do, but it gives me a chance to zone out. =)

Watching girls kissing each other on you tube! Something I always wanted to try when I was young and free but never did! My husband would prob love it, but I am too embarrased to tell him. Nothing xrated, but still.....
Geez I feel like an idiot! Caffiene is not embarrasing ladies!!! LOL!

Ya'll need to work on your vices. Mine is a little loopy but I'll be honest. Nakedness. When I am alone in the house, I am naked (okay I wear underwear.) Granted it does not happen often but it does occasionally. Housework in the buff is so freeing. I put on some Tina Turner and dance my way to a cleaner house. When everyone gets home, they are none the wiser and the house looks great! Thankfully I have never been busted by anyone yet. I'll deal with that embarrassment when it comes.

Where is the SEX?????
Surely I am not the only one who can't get enough!?!?!?!? The only person that this isn't a secret for is my husband of course! If people around me knew that I think about sex as much as any 17 year old boy they would be shocked and appalled!!!

Mindless TV (Jersey Shore/Keeping up with the Kardashians/16 and pregnant/etc)....My hubby says I watch TV like a bored 16 yr old girl, but I don't care....When you have little ones to keep up with all day and your brain always has to be "on", its nice to sit back late at night (I DVR all these shows) and enjoy a little "thoughtless" TV.

I'm not sure it's a "vice" but my secret guilty pleasure is the occasional potato chip sandwich. Yes, a roll with nothing but potato chips in it. I try not to eat too many, but sometimes it's lunch if I'm home by myself : )

Caffeine isn't my secret vice...it's my secret to functioning! Lets see. I too love trashy TV, an occasional love affair with nicotine and a glass of wine some evenings. But my embarrassing - and sort of secret - vice? A good natured wrastlin' match with one of my best friends (not while the kids are around!). Yes. I am officially a seventeen year old boy, ha ha ha.

Beer. I love beer. I want to drink beer after beer every single night. Mind you, I've been pregnant or nursing for the last 3 years so I've not been able to do this, but I just want to sit around and drink beer --all the time.

I go to tmz.com. Basically, because it makes me laugh! At myself for looking at it and the people on it! I also watch the Real Housewives...I love watching people who have endless amounts of money acting like high schoolers...It makes me realize how great my life is and I don't have half the money they do!
Is it bad that I wish I drank??? :) I just can't hold my alcohol like I could in college! Every once in awhile, my hubby will get me Captain Morgan and Diet Coke...and one drink later...I'm done! My dad likes to say that I drank enough in college for a lifetime! That's what happens at private, Catholic colleges!!! :)
Great question!!! I love the fun ones!

Reality T.V.- it's like a train wreck- you know it's awful and you shouldn't watch yet there it is in plain sight! My husband says that I'm too smart to watch mindless stuff like that but I can't understand how he can watch hours of Sports Center - a bunch of washed up sports players discussing games that already happened and my husband most likely watched- how much do you really need to hear about a game you watched! :)

Gummi bears hands down!
My family & friends are always impressed by my super healthy eating habits.
I cannot go a day without gobbling up a whole bag of them and if anyone knew they would be shocked!! LOL! It's so bad!
Not embarrassing but what would definitely also shock the pants off ppl who know me is how often I think about and have sex. SSHHHHHHH!!! Hubs and I have a very active, happy, healthy marriage =-)

coca cola!!!!!! I can drink unreal and unhealthy amounts of it!!!! Like if I have a two liter in the house I can drink it all in one day............I can do like 4 cans throughout the day no problem. So I typically just enjoy my coke with like 3 refills out or when I am having a bunch of friends over who will drink it all up. I rarely keep it around bc I am such a coke head!!!;)

Just to unwind late at night when the kiddo is asleep, I play on-line games. Escape the room games mostly. Also catch DVR episodes of the Housewives shows although I can't stand any of them ... I still don't get it. :)

Caffeine. Yep, I just outed myself. I consider myself to be a clean eater but I cannot shake my caffeine addiction, mostly because I get up at 4:45 and have a 50-minute drive to work and if I don't have caffeine I'll fall asleep at the wheel and that's no good for anyone :) If that's the worst I'm doing, I think I'll be okay.

I'm a social smoker too! My girl friends and I have our "porch snacks" whenever we get together and have some drinks -I know, I know -but considering I was a full-time smoker for years (pack a day) and I managed to give that up in 2000 with the caveat that I could have some cigarettes when I had some drinks -I don't think it's the end of the world.
I have an obsession for really fine cheeses -with wine of course -and I eat way too much of it.
Like another poster said -it seems I'm working SO hard -when I'm really on Mamapedia!
Caffeine is not a vice! I wouldn't survive without it and it's really not bad for you! Do something a little dangerous and naughty -hee hee ;-)
