Obsessions over the years.

1. Cows. Don’t ask me why, I have no idea. Thankfully this one is over.
2. Key chains. I used to collect them as a kid. I had no keys but I certainly had key chains.
3. Monet. Waterlilies everywhere.
4. Chat. When I first discovered the Internet, I found chat. Loved it so much that I would go to school even when I didn’t have class to get online.
5. Madonna, New Kids on the Block. I kept scrapbooks. I think I still have the Madonna one.
6. Phil Collins. A very unhealthy obsession
7. Shopping. My lifelong obsession
8. Chococat/Hello Kitty
9. Chocolate. ‘Nuff said.
10. Twilight/Sookie Stackhouse … Edward Cullen
11. Daisies, owls, the word believe
12. Blogging
13. Coupons

What about you? What are your obsessions?

I didn’t coupon yet this week. I might head out after work some night and pick up some of the freebies, but I’m not doing all-out couponing. Just didn’t feel like it this week. Sure, i got the paper and my coupons and clip, clip, clipped, but when it came down to the spreadsheeting, collating and hitting the stores I just didn’t have it in me.

Instead, I watched the five episodes of Grey’s Anatomy (and it would have been more if I didn’t have to wait for the next one to arrive from Netflix), did laundry, cleaned my room a bit, worked on a friend’s site and did some crosswords.

Jimbo worked on the shed most of the weekend. We did go out for coffee and then saw the Invention of Laughter and while it was good, I wouldn’t say it was great.

Saturday night we headed to my cousin’s house for a family poker game and did pretty well for someone who doesn’t know if 3-of-a-kind beats two pair.

It’s funny, since I’ve been couponing I haven’t’ done a lot of regular shopping. I think that’s good for my wallet. But it’s October and now’s the time to start shopping for that joyful holiday that is about 12 weeks away. And to work on my 2009 holiday wish list.

Random things that just popped in my head.

1. I’ve been pondering this for a while. When Starbucks adds whipped cream to my drink, what am I supposed to do with it? Am I supposed to do the adult thing and let it sink into the drink, or the kid thing (what I really want to do) and open the top and lick it all off?
2. Weight. Screw it.
3. Thinking about maybe, someday I might think about the prospect of procreating.
4. I have a lovely husband.
5. I’ve been thinking about taking on less projects. Maybe I can actually get something done that way.
6. I leave work early for an appointment today. No, not that kind.
7. I haven’t been keeping up on my blog reading. See #5.
8. My posable Kermit the Frog has been showing up in all kinds of funny places in funny positions. Maybe I’ll show you someday. See #5.
9. I haven’t made an actual dinner in quite a while. What should I make?
10. I’ve been into Geneology lately (See #5) and have discovered so far that I’m mostly English and Irish. So far. I can’t find much about Dad’s side.
11. I’m wearing $5 shoes.
12. I’m already thinking about Christmas shopping. Must make a list. See #5.
13. I still like my job. I’m really lucky. Thank you.
