Besides VB (or purses, in general) what are some of your other obsessions?
Shopping is my big one. I buy clothes all the time... NY and CO, Express, the Limited, Gap, you name it, I'm probably buying it. Especially when there are sales!
My other obsession is buying Bath and Body works. I have so much, it's scary. I need to take a picture of it some day, it will shock you ladies. Let me give you a preview ; I own at least 20 full size body spray scents, and some have multiples!!! It's overtaking my closet... But at least I smell good!!

- Old Navy Flip Flops - before I gave some away I think I had over 20 pair, all different colors w/ no multiples besides black and brown
- Frogs - I think I've got over 50 now in all shapes and sizes
- Pillows - I love accent pillows and finding new covers for my body pillow
- Pink and green things - I flipped when Vera came out with PWP although I've moved on since then - and I have 11 or 12 pairs of pajamas that are pink and green....at least I match my room decor when I go to bed
- Balance/Order - what can I say, I'm OCD - things pretty much have to be my way or you are seriously on my bad list esp. in terms of my room and how my stuff is.

1. Brian, my best friend since forever and husband-to-be (September 30!)
2. Sally, my step-daughter-to-be
3. Shrek the Musical and Wicked (both on Broadway in NYC): I identify with the green people...
4. New York City and Washington, D.C.: my 2 favorite cities in the world
5. Amtrak trains (The best thing about living in Memphis is leaving it on the train!)
6. Youth hostels (especially in cities where hotels are really expensive): Cheap, no-frills accommodation, so you can spend your money on more important things like sightseeing and shopping!
1 + 2 + me + 5 + 4 + 3 + 6 = best vacation ever!
7. Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments: I have almost 100 pieces, and I am so excited for the Ornament Premiere this weekend!
8. Books and Audio Books, especially those written by Tamora Pierce, Patricia Cornwell and Janet Evanovich. The Harry Potter audio books are especially excellent. Jim Dale is the best narrator ever.
9. Finding shoes (other than sneakers) for my size 14EEEE feet! Most stores only go up to size 11, ad the few that sell 13+ only have "regular' widths. It is so frustrating, and one of the major reasons why I really don't like shopping.
10. Shopping/discount cards and frequent flier miles: Kroger Plus, Borders Rewards, Hallmark Gold Crown, Amtrak Guest Rewards and Student Advantage, plus UPromise, MyPoints and e-Rewards
11. Community service
12. Drive-in movie theaters and midnight movies
13. Animals: My pets and the animals in my rescue are the greatest joys in my life.
14. Even numbers, and maintaining an even dollar balance in my checking account.
15. Cheese, especially Brie en Croute, Muenster and Feta
16. Junk Food: Dr. Pepper, grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, S'mores Pop-Tarts and Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese
17. Magnetic Poetry kits: College, German, Italian, Shakespeare and Book Lover
18. Finding Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" on VHS/DVD in decent condition and for a fair price. I have been looking for it since (before he died!) my freshman-year roommate stole it.
19. Gymboree, especially the red trench coat that I cannot find anywhere!
20. Making lists, and test-packing for trips.

• Fiestaware! 8 colors of dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, flatware, glasses. Plus platters, serving bowls, s&p shakers, utensil crock, sm-lg canisters, etc.
• Anything Cow-related! I had a black/white spotted dog when I was younger...and one day he disappeared and we never found him. I was very close to him...so anything spotted black and white, like cows, reminds me of him!
• Tank tops. I can't get enough of them. Easily over 40 tank tops. I think I have a problem!
• Disney World. I think I've been probably 20 times now!
• Basketball. Love to play. People totally underestimate my 5'3" self...but when I dunk on them, they are shocked! lol. kidding! but I can play!

Seriously can't believe I forgot these... - Snowmen - I've got almost as many as I do frogs, again in all shapes and sizes
- Tinkerbell stuff - my dad's always called me Tinkerbell for some reason - I look nothing like her. lol.
- Hallmark Ornaments - I really wasn't thinking about Christmas, but my mom got me started when I was really little. Between the two of us, we've got thousands - no exaggeration. I'll post pics at Christmas time.
- Popcorn Tins - I've gotten popcorn tins every year for Christmas, I think since middle school. They all have snowmen on them - go figure. My dog goes nutty over them b/c they still smell like popcorn. lol.

books - I read obsessively. I spend way too much money at the bookstore and amazon b/c I like to own the books instead of check them out at the library and have to give them back! Plus I live in a tiny little town and the library sucks bad.
shoes - i love shoes!

• Fiestaware! 8 colors of dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, flatware, glasses. Plus platters, serving bowls, s&p shakers, utensil crock, sm-lg canisters, etc.quote] I collect Fiestaware too! I'm running out of room for it all so I think I'm going to have to get rid of some duplicates and my least favorite colors to make room for the new colors. I know I want a 4pc set of Chocolate, Ivory and Lemongrass. I also love love love the new square luncheon plates! I use them all the time because they are the perfect size for most meals. I think the only other thing (beside VB) that I really collect would be books. Most of them I will reread and even when I know I won't I have a hard time parting with them. I also am careful with most of them and hate it when they get worn/spines cracked/dogeared pages. My favs that I have read multiple times don't bother me if they're worn, cus I know its from some great reads! I'm just wierd like that! ;D |

-making cards/invitations -my cricut that I got for my birthday but hardly ever use because of lack of time and creativeness at this point. I can't wait till I find a teaching job... oh the possibilities of bulletin boards are endless!!! (anyone else have one??) - putting things in rainbow order. my closet is arranged in rainbow order, my dvds are (and whenever someone notices for the first time they make fun of me and I freak if someone puts one back in the wrong spot), same with boxes of crayons, markers, etc. they HAVE to be in color order or I dump them out immediately to rearrange them - I'm CDO (OCD but in the correct order that it should be!!!) - Purses, even though right now I will not stray from VB for awhile. I've carried around bags of any sort, sometimes multiples at a time, ever since I can remember. - shopping. I just started working at JC Penney this summer and wasn't a regular shopper before. Now I find things that I NEED daily when I work and it's very hard to restrain myself! - pictures. They cover my room and I don't have any room for them! All my desk/dresser/table tops are covered with frames. - and last but not least the colors pink and brown. LOVE them |
