Pretty Much, I'm addicted

I am. I'm addicted to a variety of things. Really. Among them are:

* Sleep- I love sleep. There isn't anything better than a good nap. I'm not talking one of these lame "power" naps of 20 minutes or so. I'm talking something good and solid, like 3 hours. Now THAT'S a nap.

*Caffeine- Because I don't get much of the above I am, consequently, also addicted to caffeine. It is the only thing that keeps me going. My family--the one I grew up in--would be disappointed, I'm sure. They're not soda drinkers, let alone caffeine drinkers. But at least I fit in a little better with the in-laws. GOOO Beverage Service (that's what you call it, right?)

*Chocolate- For obvious reasons do I love this food. Who doesn't? Oh, that's right, my vanilla-loving brother is not overly fond of this decadent treat. I used to say,"I like my men like I like my milk--Chocolate." I suppose this is why I married Brent. He's pretty much the brownest guy I know. Oh, wait...

*The Deadliest Catch- I've found a new show to obsess over. It revolves around crab fishermen on the Bering Sea in Alaska. I know, right? You wanna' watch now, too. Go ahead. It's on the Discovery Channel on Tuesday nights. If you want to "catch up" on past seasons they're having a Deadliest Catch marathon on Mother's Day. Perfect use for you TiVo/DVR.

*Reading- What can I say? Love it. Not much more to add to that. --I'm kind of a book snob. But not as bad as my sister.

*My Space- Before you judge, I'm not talking about the website. I'm literally talking about my space. I am an introvert. People, at least large crowds of them, suck my energy. I have to have my own space to retreat to so that I may regroup and rejuvenate. Perfect example. The other day B gave me some $$ to go shopping and his Madre was going to watch the kids. However, after several nights without much sleep and a day around a crowd--I just needed to be in my own space and relax. Shopping was so unappealing at that point. MUST have my space. MUST.

*Procrastinating- because, really, why do today what I can put off until I'm just so embarrassed it hasn't been done that I do it out of guilt or sense of duty OR I ignore it altogether, because it can't be that big of deal, can it?

*The Pitter-Patter of Little Feet- Sounds dumb to you? Get some of your own little feet and have them pitter patter around your house--they have to belong to you, though, because other people's little feet are generally not so endearing. Nothing can lift the spirits like coming home and hearing those on the other side of the door.
