what are you addicted to buying...

[Scooter's Mom]

My latest 'addiction' is books for the kindle.
Amazon has a ton of freebies every day... they update their free list every hour just about.

For the last year, my actual 'addiction' for buying things has been nail polish. Although that is dwindling down since I have... Uhhh, about 40 bottles of nail polish. And I've cut all my nails back down again so I can type faster at work.

I actually had stopped reading until my kindle, now i can make the font as large as I want and I can read again.

I am addicted to buying clothes for my twin granddaughters, everything looks so cute on them I find it hard to resist.

Video games...I have SO MANY of them but anytime one that interests me is on sale and I have a couple of bucks, I end up buying it. Mind you, if I actually played just the games on my Steam list (an online game retail service) I'd be stuck in front of my computer 24 hrs a day for the next 3 or 4 years.

This isn't counting all of the games I have on the Xbox or PS2...

I also end up getting a lot of books. There is a Kindle app for Android so I spend a lot of time on the bus reading. The free list for Kindle is actually quite good!

Nothing, really - at least not since I retired and could no longer afford addictions! Since I've had my Kindle, I do get a lot of books, but most all are free, or just a few $$ at the most. I loaded around 50 books in just a few weeks, and I've read most of them, tho I slack off reading in the summer months. I'll be back at it soon, and loading lots more books too.

When I was still working, jewelry was my addiction - mostly rings and earrings (and not the cheapy ones either ), followed by handbags. Obviously I don't "need" all that anymore, and I never "needed" them to start anyway - but I was addicted. I still can't go into any store without checking out the jewelry and handbag departments, or admiring what's in the jewelry store windows at the mall. I just don't buy! I wear earrings every day, even if I'm not going anywhere, but not so much the rings, and I wear 2 gold necklaces that I never take off. And all the handbags on my closet shelf - I resort back to the same 3 or 4 favorites, and the rest collect dust.

This is a weird one, but exercise clothes. This tends to be a problem because I only use a handful despite the fact that I go for a bike ride every morning and STILL don't get around to wearing all of them. I also tend to buy a lot of Iphone cases and dog collars.

Yarn, yarn, yarn. I love knitted and sewing. Not many people know that about me, but I knit all the time. I have enough yarn to knit a pair of socks for everyone here. Not that I will, but......

I also love buying kitchen gadgets.

I'm not really addicted to buying anything, but if I had the money I would probably get lots of different body lotions and shampoo. LOL!

Sallyanne, I wish you were closer, you probably know how to crochet as well. I have these potholders? that you begin in one corner. I just don't don't know how to start.

[Glacier]

Dresses...I love dresses. For someone who lives in a climate where they are only wearable for a few months a year, I have a truly ridiculous dress collection.

Randi - you could always pick up a small instruction book and teach yourself how to knit and/or crochet. That's how I learned. My mother tried to teach me as a teen, but I was not the least bit interested. Then after I married and wasn't working, and hubby was in the military with weird working hours, I had a lot of time on my hands and decided to learn how. I started with very simple stitches and projects, and progressed from there. Afghans and blankets turned out to be a passion with me, and I made dozens over the years before my hands failed me. People that I worked with even commissioned me to make items for them, and I've also had a few people want me to teach them how. Two of the people were left handed so I couldn't help them any - but there are even instruction books for leftys too. I even figured out the dreaded singular circular knitting needle!
You should look into it - I always found knitting and crocheting to be very relaxing and enjoyable.

Yarn, yarn, yarn. But, I seem to go for the big, bulky yarn for sweaters. Which sounds right because I live in Alaska, but since I'm always too hot, I run around the house barefoot and in t-shirts most of the time. I crochet scarves and cowls and end up giving them away because I'm almost never cold.

Nail polish, I made my own rack and still have more pens, wine,jeans, shoes. I believe it keeps collecting critters at bay.
