I have recently become obsessed with playing Zoo World on Facebook. Some other obsessions include: * Having bookshelves - I have four of my own and am about to inherit two more from Nick when he goes to basic training - and they are all full with books, knick-knacks, and stuffed animals. It's beginning to be a problem * (recently) I have gotten into cooking - I think the cooking vibes Nicci has had recently have gotten me spending more and more time in the kitchen - only problem is I don't have a stove so I've become rather creative with how to cook things. Between a single hot plate/burner, toaster, toaster oven, crock pot, microwave, and a george foreman grill I can make just about anything if I'm really determined. * knitting - it has become my sanity as of late. With so much stress I can unwind, albeit temporarily, for a little bit while I'm focused on knitting. * coloring - call me a kid at heart, but I love to color! It's another one of my stress reliefs. Right now I really want a Muppets coloring book but can't find one anywhere.

I hadn't paid a lot of attention to this thread until the recent revival of the Obsessions Swap thread. So after reading it for the first time, I have started thinking about my other obsessions. (I must also say, I can only imagine the number of panties that would be purchased for the swap. My dh thinks that exchanging this personal information is irresponsible. I can't imagine the look on his face or the thought in his mind if I opened a package and there was underware in it!)
#1: Facebook. I am on it constantly! I have scaled back my apps that I play daily to My Zoo, Hatchlings, Pop Answers, and 101 Items.
#2: Victoria's Secret. Unfortunately for me, but good for my wallet...I have outgrown a lot of the nighties in the store, but it doesn't keep me from buying bras and panties on a regular basis. They are all I will wear.
#3: Apple Products. I am a Mac geek. If it doesn't have a apple on it, I don't want a thing to do with it. I just got a new iPhone and will be getting a new laptop for Christmas!
#4: Couponing. I am not as die hard about it since the twins were born, but I am all about getting a deal and stacking to get the best prices (esp on formula!)
#5: Kids Clothes Shopping. Since it isn't fun to buy clothes for myself anymore, I am always looking at new outfits for my kiddos. I love The Children's Place, Gymboree, Strasburg, and Janie and Jack.
#6: Caramel. If there is caramel in it, I love it. O'Charley's Caramel Pie, Russel Stovers Caramel eggs/santas/whatever, Twix, Snickers, Sugar Babies, Rolos, Caramello....as well as Gummies, Raisinettes, and Cotton Candy. No wonder I weigh too much.
#7: Candles. I love Yankee! My favs are the Fruity scents and clean scents. Top of my list would be Storm Watch, Rainforest, and Clean Cotton.
#8: Hollywood Gossip. Nuf said. I should be ashamed.
#9: My Television Line-up. I love (in no particular order) Chef Academy, Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives, The Good Wife, NCIS, The Unit (cancelled-BOO), and Survivor (Russell lost-BOO).
#10: Movies. I have really had to cut back with the addition of the twins. I love to go to the movies (yeah, like that happens) as well as watching them at home. This isn't an obsession that my dh shares so again, I don't get much of it anymore.
There are so many other things that I used to be obsessed with, kids kinda cut your time down BUT I LOVE THEM!

Let's see if you asked my friends/co-workers/family, what I was obsessed with they would say #1 - VERA!!! (A few share my obsession only a little scaled back!) I try to collect, without going overboard, and only ever buying what I need and getting it at the best price possible! #2 - Boston Bruins.. Yes it was totally my BF of 4 years that got me into them, but now I LOVE THEM!!! I literally have a crush on half the team, and know every player by full name, face, number and positions (and some stats! It changes game to game tho!) I read the pregame write-up before every game so I am prepared, and go to as many games as I can afford (I am up to 6 this year so far!) I also love to get there early to sit down low(our seats are usually in the balcony) and watch warm ups, its so cool to see your fav player just a few feet away! (I am not really a "starstruck" kinda person, but I made eye contact with Micheal Ryder once and I loved it!) #3 - TV! ok I don't sit around all day and watch TV but have specific shows that I Love, (no Specific Order) LOST, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, The Office, Entourage, TrueBlood, South Park(I can't Help it!!!) All of these I have at least 1 season on DVD if not every season!!! #4 - I love shopping. I love clothes shopping for myself, and now that I have a new job its a great excuse to buy more work clothes! I also like shopping for other people, and even going food shopping with my mom!!! lol
I think that mainly it!!! Some people make fun of my obsessions, but its the little things that keep me happy, so why not!??!
O yea!!! #5 - Chapstick!!! I can't leave the house without it!!!

Here's some more, whether they're new, or ones I forgot last time I posted:
Sour Candy-I've been obsessed with it for so long, nothing that's supposed to be sour really even tastes that sour to me. But my favorite are sour gummies and sour skittles.
Candles-I've recently gotten into these. I always have one burning when I'm in my room now.
B&BW Japanese Cherry Blossom and Twilight Woods-I recently got these lotions as gifts and they smell SO GOOD! I want the body sprays to go with!
Bejewled-it's so addicting!
Gilmore Girls-my favorite show of all time! I've seen every episode several times, I have every season on DVD and I still find it hilarious every time I watch it.
Disney Channel-I'm not into this as much as I once was but I still like to watch Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Wizards of Waverly Place, That's So Raven, etc.
