Moving Onto My Next Obsession
In terms of shopping, I go through major phases. I get obsessed with a particular type of item and then I have an uncontrolable urge everytime I go shopping to buy something in that category. Eventually the obsession fades, although it never truely disappears, and when it fades another item becomes the objet d'obsession. (I don't know if that's real French, but it looks good.)It started in high school with shoes. Ahhhh, yes, a women's best friend. After her credit card.... And then I had my dark period (where I started saving towards a downpayment on a house). But in retrospect, although I don't remember spending on something tangible, I actually spent a lot of money because I travelled a lot. Then came expensive hair products. I've just exited my stationary (blank greeting cards - I luff them!! I luff them so much I can't bear to part with them and send them to people...I never said they were healthy obessions.) phase.
Presently, I've incurred a new obsession: Jewelry. It has to do with my whole turning-30-growing-as-a-person thing. I want to invest in some nice pieces of jewelry, because, well, I don't have any. I've "stolen" a couple of pieces from my mother's collection, and have recently received a couple of gifts, but I feel like I need more! Not with just jewelry, but with (pause) EBAY!!! (Dun! Dun! Dunnnn!) This is NOT guud! Someone with my type of obsessive-complusive personality plus boredom at work equals a dangerous situation!
The reason I haven't been posting lately? Can't afford to spend time writing about my "feelings" here, because I need to keep refreshing the page to see if my bid is going to win the auction! It's a neverending torment of nerves! Ack Gil! I've become one of YOUUUUUUUU!
