My name is Wendi, and i have an addiction.
Oh who am i kidding, i have A LOT of them. The things in my life, that at a given point, i feel as though i cant live without. They change from time to time, i go through different phases. Some last a few weeks, others i have had for many years, but these are the ones i thought about today to share with you.
1. The first one is a little thing they call Netflix. Words do not express the feeling you get when you see the red logo, whether its in the mailbox, or on the "watch instantly" menu. I LOVE movies and television. I always have. My head is full of all sorts of useless pop culture information, that does me little good, other then coming in handy when somebody says "who was that guy in that movie?". Last Saturday they added a bunch of new things to the instant watch list, and i was so excited, i ran to the bedroom and woke up James to tell him. His excitement level was not as great as mine.
2. Kind of in line with the first one is a television show that i find myself completely addicted to, and no its not even "Lost". Its called "Lie to Me" and its probably the most entertaining thing i have found on netflix so far. In connection with this obsession, comes one for the theme song for the show. Its called "brand new day" by Ryan Star, and it is awesome. Its on my playlist below, give it a listen.
3. Amazon.com.... doesn't just saying it make you happy? Shopping online is one of my greatest addictions, its SO MUCH DANG FUN. Where else can you buy a t-shirt, a dvd, an inflatable movie screen, and 12 books all at the same time.
4. Cake, and not just eating it. I have a cake to decorate for my niece's birthday tomorrow, and decorating cakes makes me happy AND obsessive. I absolutely love when things go right, and something i made turns out amazing.
5. Two words: JUNIOR MINTS.
6. Decorating, if I'm not decorating a room, I'm THINKING about decorating a room. I have moved through pretty much our entire home one room at a time, and have started over more then once on some of the rooms. A lot of people in my life think its crazy that painting a room is something i do for fun and relaxation, and not punishment. My dream would be for someone to give me a white room, and some cash, and let me go to it.
7. Probably my greatest addiction is my husband. There is no one on the planet who is more fun, or more amazing to me. I laugh every day at my house, and there is nothing greater than that. We were watching some crime show the other day and they were of course interviewing the wife after the husbands murder. She stated that she hadn't talked to her husband for three weeks because he was on some fishing trip while she was out of town. James turned to me and said "what would you do if you hadn't talked to me for three weeks" to which i responded, "i would panic if i didn't know where you were for 3 HOURS. after three weeks, I'd be curled up in a corner somewhere mumbling incoherently." Sad, but probably true...
There are many more on my list, but this post is getting frighteningly long. I guess the others will have to wait till another day.
They say admitting addiction is a step to overcoming it. i guess we will see.
A new thing

An amazing list. I don't recommend curing yourself of the last one. I need to think about my addictions. Thanks for getting me thinking.
Hi Wendi, lol, I must admit I do like your posts. If you follow my post to mine, be kind pls.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste and it seems I've been wasting mine for the last year on a lost cause. =(
