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*

I do have an addiction to Dr. Pepper. It's all I drink and is also my coffee substitute since I hate all forms of coffee.

Other addictions.....

Strawbetter Daiquris/Margaritas

My husband - for the obvious reasons:65:
Old Navy flip flops - I own just about every color they sell

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!!

Nes

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!!!

Tish, I used to love to kickbox, til I moved and lost my fabulous teacher. :crying-vi: My friend created this kickboxing Pucca for me because I kickboxed and she wears a headband because I'm a sweaty girl and have to, LOL.

I am totally addicted to lip balm and the internet. I get twitchy when I am away from either for any length of time. :38:
