I love visiting Disney parks, but am indifferent to the Disney stuff/movies. I'd rather save my money for admission tickets.
I love the idea of meal prepping and watching other people do it, but I don't want to do it. And even if I did, I would only do 2 days at a time.
I love getting tons of books from the library, more than I could ever read, just so I have a choice.
Take classes for a season for pure enjoyment and then never do anything with it.

I have these fussy boots that I LOVE but most people don't get, lol. "Boots with the fur".

The Real Housewives franchise, and filling out forms. There's something so satisfying about writing in all the little boxes. Last year I got the long form census and I was so incredibly excited.

@erinbaderin: I thought I was the only one! I love filling out any kind of form - applications, doctor's office, whatever.

@erinbaderin: Alright what's your address I'm sending all my forms to you

@LCTBQE: AMEN. I find few things as satisfying as a clean house and a purge, big or little, it feels so good to get rid of clutter and streamline. Its been a favourite hobby of mine since childhood.

Black Friday shopping. It's one of my favorite things about the season. I was super disappointed I didn't get to go this year (I was 40w 3d pregnant!), and I'm already thinking about how I'll miss it again in 3 years when it falls on DD2's birthday.
I really really love Starbucks. Sorry not sorry.
Running on a treadmill. Bullet journaling. Doing my taxes-- of course, that's probably because I get a financial reward for doing them.

@erinbaderin: Real Housewives, yes!! Although I only watch the Beverly Hills one and the spin-off Vanderpump Rules.
Also I'm fascinating with the polygamous shows - Sister Wives, My Five Wives, Seeking Sister Wife! I watch them all!
Flare pants... 
They balance out my hips so much, but noooooo skinny pants are all the rage now!

@LCTBQE: @Autumnmama79: You ladies want to come to my house and do some cleaning?
nectarine / 2461 posts
@Autumnmama79: yep, love it, nice to meet a like-minded declutter-er 
I like how it's kind of trending right now because of the Mari Kondo book, but I read it and thought she was off her rocker and got it all wrong--did you read it?

@Adira: I wish! as giant-sized favors/presents, my girlfriends ask me to come over and clean out their closets, set up nurseries, style book shelves, etc, and I love it. I'm a designer and I love making spaces beautiful, it's my jam. ETA I had no idea that sister-wife television shows were a thing--mind exploding. ETA again respectfully disagree that skinny pants are in: look at these wide legs https://totokaelo.com/womens/apparel/bottoms

Ahh yes I love to clean and or organize too. Cleaning actually relaxes me!

Checklists and things like inventory. When I worked in retail, I was the weirdo who enjoyed plan-o-gramming and inventory. After my baby shower I created a google spreadsheet so I know what type of clothes I have in what size and I'm not as overwhelmed by the volume of it all.
I implemented a project management system at work and I don't think anyone gets nearly the same satisfaction out of it as I do. I LOVE checking things off.

@LCTBQE: I haven't read it. But now I'll look into it! Curious if its about cleaning and decluttering and you think she got it wrong - how can someone go wrong when preaching that topic?! Its really pretty self explanatory in my mind. But I do think it takes a special part of the brain to crave and be motivated to lead a tidy and clutter free life - not everyone has it or gets it.
Last week I did a big clean out of all my makeup and skincare, washed all my brushes, etc. It felt SO good and everyday this week I've been reaping the benefits!

@snowjewelz: Agreed about the relaxing bit! I also notice that I clean A LOT more when I'm pissed off at DH SO therapeutic for me.
Cooking does the same for me after work, relaxes me and lets my mind settle from the day as it takes so much thought and concentration.

I am obsessed with Judge Judy. I record her show every day, I have a mug, I went to see her in a talk/interview at the Y and one of my bucket list items is to go to a live taping of her show one day.
Most people laugh when I tell them this. I don’t even care.

@SweetiePie: hahaha, I love her ruth bader ginsberg lace
@Mademoiselle3: YES, I like it when you open the car door and it's like 120 degrees inside.
@Autumnmama79: I think she's a minimalist to the point of weird, unnecessary, uncomfortable deprivation. She also describes a process in her book of how she empties out her purse every single night when she comes home, like takes out everything, puts it in a designated drawer/hook, takes her purse in her hands and *thanks* it, ostensibly she is saying words aloud to an inanimate object, then puts it back in its dust bag and puts THAT on a shelf and then she can go to sleep at night without tossing and turning that her purse is sitting on the console with her fucking wallet in it or whatever. this is the routine of a maniac, not an organized person. also she doesn't really believe in organization tools and boxes, which I think are pleasant and very helpful as long as they're not stuffed to the brim with crap you don't use.

@helloperidot: I like doing my taxes too! It is so much fun filling out the forms and watching the number go up! The W-4 has always failed me even when I do multiple calculations throughout the year. Maternity leave really threw things off this last year.
I LOVE planning big purchases. Researching quality, pricing, sales trends, warranties, features. I make lots of spreadsheets.
I like doing the splits. I get such a sense of joy when I can do them regardless of how out of shape I may be

Lilly Pulitzer all summer- especially in the PNW and since I live in plaid and leggings the rest of the year. I have so many dresses and they make me happy.
I can’t get enough of Star Wars.
I’m obsessed with my dog and people who don’t love dogs baffle me.
I’m lost without my paper planner and make tons of lists (that I complete)

Pod Save America and all of Crooked Media. Legit obsessed.
Watching Instagram stories. Guilty pleasure.

@LCTBQE: teach me your decluttering/design ways. My lawyer brain struggles. My computer files are super organized but that’s it!
clementine / 806 posts
I love purging things and then tidying up the remainder. Just organizing is meh. I mean, I like it....but if I can also get rid of stuff in the process, sign me up!
Getting into a hot car at the end of a long day in my chilly office. I park in the un-shaded section of the parking lot all throughout the Texas summer, and I love it!

Budgeting. Hot weather. Reading the news. Politics in general. Doing taxes, I enjoy it but don't love it.
pomelo / 5084 posts
@helloperidot: Yes! I loooove Black Friday shopping! And it is DS’s Bday next year
pomelo / 5866 posts
I love budgeting and Black Friday shopping too!! LOL, I love Kondo even though people don't get her. She declutters much better than me! I used to love doing taxes but then I got too many accounts and side work so now I'm not looking forward to doing them because it is getting complicated.

I love grocery shopping.
I love living on a schedule.
I love all the survival/Alaska shows.
I love Pilot Flair pens.
I’m obsessive and particular about office supplies in general.
I hoard bottles, mugs, and tumblers - they all have different purposes and uses.
I really love round diner soup spoons.
I love my flat whisk.
nectarine / 2461 posts
@gingerbebe: do you mean the paper mate flair with the felt tip ?!! love that one. or is the pilot flair different? Also have you ever tried the Pilot P-500 extra fine? it's a different use but same level of wonderful.

I love buying presents for my kid. I plan out his presents well in advance, purchase on prime day and black friday, and keep a gift closet stocked for friends .
I generally love buying presents for other people too, but especially my kid.

@wrkbrk: All the love for the Golden Girls! It's on in the afternoons and it's getting me through maternity leave.
Another big fan of organization and spreadsheets over here. When we were planning our wedding, I would do spreadsheets of all our vendors. People stopped asking me how things were going lol! Decluttering material things goes along with this.

@gingerbebe: I love grocery shopping. I'm just sick of doing all the meal planning and cooking haha

@gingerbebe: round soup spoons, yes! I selected our flatware solely based off the deep spoons. Everyone who eats at our house thinks they are weird but I’m obsessed!
Being cold under the covers. DH always warms up his icy cold toes on my feet at night and I weirdly love it.
