Ok - so aside from this board (and KMM books) is there anything else you are "addicted" too?
I was never a coffee girl, but lately I find myself jonesing for an iced coffee from Starbuck's almost daily. Not the fancy frozen ones, just black coffee over ice with a sprinkle of splenda in it. Like Karen often describes in her books (most of the girls are coffee junkies, have you noticed?) after a few sips, I can feel the caffeine humming in my veins:65:
I used to be addicted to e-bay, but I haven't been over there in awhile, which is good because so many things in my house have been needing to be replaced that I don't have the moolah to waste time over there!!!
Oh, and Bath&Body Works - I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything else until I exhausted my current supply - but then I get a coupon in the mail and go shopping! Oh well, at least I smell nice.

Good question Melonie. I use to be addicted to chocolate.. Which is not a bad thing but when one wants to lose weight she has to lose the chocolate. My other addictions are books, music and movies.. Which I calmed down for a bit.

I am addicted to the evil chocolate and kisses from my kids, I can't get enough of them. Especially my son because soon he won't want to give mommy kisses he will be to old. :crying-vi: He is growing so fast *sigh*

Books ... lots of books ...
Dragons (but not the chinese ones) ... lots and lots of dragons .... crazy about them ...
Chocolate ... I was one of the crazy people but not anymore ... I like to eat it of course but I can now pass some days without needing it ...
Men in Kilts ..... :happy0194: ... of course ....
Chatting. I'm a chat-a-holic, internet, coffee, ciggies (yeah, shame on me I smoke.. tsk-tsk-tsk), sex (hey who isn't?!? LOL) Björn Borg sportswear and I can go on and on and on.... :D

Teach em when they are young that every time they leave Mom, they have to kiss on the cheek for luck and love. It becomes a habit and they will continue to do it. My boys are 23, 19 & 13 - they always kiss me when they leave, no matter where we are or who is around. And if i forget to kiss them, they come remind me!

Oh, I know! I have my husband talked into taking me tonight to watch it. He's dreading it, but he went to the last one with me and lived, so I figure he'll make it through this one.

Well besides reading and KMM board..... lotion... that's right lotion. I put lotion on my hands ALL of the time. I can't stand it after I wash my hands to not put on lotion right away. It is kinda like OCD for me. Love bath and body works!!!
Ciggies for me also Nessie. Although I don't know why I ever started again. I quit when I was preggers with both of my kids only to start again when they were born. I don't smoke at work or in my house though!
SEX!!
I do love chocolate!!! and Hot Tea with milk and sugar!!
I've quit too, but gained 10 kg. Never, ever, again!!! Heh. LOL.
Oh another addiction: Fruity lipbalms.

Ahhh, my kind of girl I see...the image of you taking an 8 year old out for cutting in line had me laughing - and I too am addicted to the pleasures of wine, massages, pedicures, and yoga...though I've been into pilates more lately, my favorite is when they do a combo pilates/yoga class so you get strength training and relaxing together. Man, now I want to get a pedicure while sipping a nice chilled pinot grigio!!!
