Speaking of loving things...
I asked those that know me best to name 3-5 things that I love, obsess over, and/or am addicted to. Nine of my nearest and dearest (including my parents) replied, and here's what they had to say:
10/9 - something related to FOOD - (How did that happen? Someone gave 2 answers that were food related. Thanks, Mom.) - TexMex being the most prevalent answer, specifically Chile Con Queso was named, as well as carbs, bread, cheese fries, and cheese. Part of me laughs at this, the other part of me cries. Maybe this is why I'm overweight. Huh? You think? The other reason - notice what doesn't make the list - exercise.
9/9 - something related to MUSIC - Music, in general, as well as concerts, live music, hair metal, and Bon Jovi were all specifically listed. All true.
5/9 - READING - Well, yes, I do love a good book. I found that there are some that I don't do book chat with too often, and they were the ones who didn't say this answer.
I got a whole bunch of other answers too:
3/9 - CATS (specifically, Astro) - Okay, yes, I've sorta kinda turned into a Crazy Cat Lady...but I love my doggie babies too!
2/9 - TRAVEL - There was a guy I knew in college whose family had *a little* money. He described his mother as a "professional traveler and shopper". Yes, please. How do I get that job?
2/9 - SHOES - Could explain why I wrote this post two years ago --> Shoe Collector (go ahead, read it, you know you weren't following me then)
2/9 - AGGIE FOOTBALL - You can take the girl outta Texas, but you can't take the football outta the Texas girl. Isn't that how the saying goes?
2/9 - DANCE - I don't take classes anymore. My years on a dance team are long behind me. I rarely hit the clubs anymore. But.......give me some good music and some space and chances are I'm gonna shake my groove thang.
Others that got mentioned once: Compassion (I love this), Costumes (yep, love them too), Make-up (shocked that more people didn't say this), Clothes (again, surprised only one gave this response), Caffeine, Sleep (who doesn't love sleep?)
Can you relate? Are you obsessed with any of these things too?
