~Current Addictions~

I will come clean:
I have a few addictions I have been dealing with.

1. For starters, I bought my husband seasons 1 through 4 of Burn Notice, a television show he just loves for Christmas.

He made me sit and watch the very first one with him. It's a spy show, filled with guns, things blowing up, and intrigue. [So NOT my thing-] However, I have watched seasons 1 and 2 in the last two weeks -even with report cards due (!!!)-...and find myself addicted!

2. I bought a new pair of shoes, that I just love, love, love! As I was trying them on, a couple of teenagers walked behind me (and the table showcasing them-) and said in snotty teen voices to each other, "Ewww! WHO would ever wear those ugly shoes!"

Ummm, me, apparently, and I really love my red, shiny Dansko's! I don't care if teenagers find them most unattractive...they probably just can't afford them, and are trying to make themselves feel better by putting them down.  [Well, that is what I am telling myself, anyway-]

3.  I can't believe I am saying this (because everyone was saying it on Facebook the day after Christmas, and I thought they were all crazy-) but I LOVE my Keurig Coffee Maker. My sister got it for my husband and I for Christmas and I thought it was neat, but I didn't know how much I would come to love it so quickly.

I MUST have coffee everyday, and this is so fast, that I wake up at 6 am and have my hot cup of coffee in my hand by 6:05am. Pure Bliss. I can even make hot water super quick for hot tea, or even oatmeal for the boys too. [Take whatever you want here, but don't TOUCH my Keurig!!!] Kylie sent us a parting gift for staying with us...two giant boxes of K-cups. She sure knows the way to my heart!!! {Thank you, K!}

4.  I am Ruby Red Slippers, and I am addicted to sugar. There. I said it. Happy now? I have sabotaged myself though so I can't O.D. on it. Being at school, everyone brings around birthday treats, and if I ate everything that came to my classroom, it would not be pretty. SO, I pick one of my students every day that gets whatever birthday treats that come into my classroom. The yummy looking brownie? I have a first grader excited that it is her day to eat it. That Rice Krispie I am dying to eat??? Yep-that little boy over there is jumping for joy because it is his day-. So, that keeps me from eating things that I shouldn't want to eat, but am dying to eat... I also started wearing a pedometer every day.

 (Or when I remember to, I mean--)
My students love to ask me (over, and over, and over again!) how many steps I have taken so far all day long. Just working, I take nearly 5,000 steps daily. That, and denying myself the birthday treats that circulate around the school, and my sugar addiction is nearly under control! (Nearly-)

5.  I love Philosophy products. I am still me- I am talking about the bath and beauty products, certainly NOT the 'what is the meaning of life anyway' philosophy, silly!  Over Christmas, I had a few of the holiday scents for the shower, and bath and also lotions that smelled soooo good. This weekend, my mom and I went to the mall and I picked up the Valentine's scent in lotion and bubble bath: Sweet Talk.

Oh, it is so addictively delicious smelling!!!

6. One last new thing I find myself addicted to: Dior Addict Lip Glow. Ironic, isn't it? The word 'addict' is right in the product!!! It is a gloss, and lip conditioner.

 A Michigan winter is hard on the lips: My lips are chapped, from being in and out of the cold. I stumbled upon this while at Nordstroms buying my Philosophy stuff.
(Oh. Fine. I didn't stumble upon it, I overheard the sales associate pitching it to someone else, and I butted into the conversation!)
And I am so glad I did-I LOVE this stuff! Perfect for my chapped winter lips. Call me a major addict of this lip stuff!

Well, that is a long enough list of my addictions, I suppose.
{Any others you recommend I become addicted to???)

(...who has a few addictions, and always has room for a few more...)
