So I think I have an addiction!! Like a serious addiction! My addiction is....Pokemon cards! Holy lordy do I have a problem! So since I was super young I have been collecting Pokemon cards. Well recently I decided to get back into collecting and even competing. My husband tells me I have a serious problem. I can bearly walk into WalMart with out buying a booster pack or two. I keep telling my friends and family they can buy me cards for holidays. SO...Yeah. My question is...Is there anything you guys are addicted to?

Love,
Mary :D

I had a friend that had a collecting addition of dolls. It was bad, it ended up costing them a lot.
My weakness is books and music.

I am addicted to bath products. Soap, shampoo, lotions, scrubs, etc. You'd think I'd have pretty, sweet-smelling skin because of all of the crap I buy, but the truth is I'm always a sweaty mess with horrible, rashy skin. But it makes me so happy to jump into the shower with a new soap!

I also get obsessions about certain songs. I'll get a song in my head and want to sing it/hear it over and over. I'll listen to my iPod around the house, burn a CD and keep hitting "replay" in my car, and sing it to death in the shower. Not only will I sing it in the shower, I'll pretend I"m different artists singing it, like, "I wonder what "You Never Give Me Your Money" would sound like if Susanna Hoffs sang it, or Linda Ronstadt sang it, and then spend about 10 minutes imitating each artist singing the song. As you can imagine, this gets very annoying for my husband.
I love your posts! Your poor husband!

Fabrics, Crafts, Books and Doctor Who DVD's... and as a result, container boxes. Hubby used to joke about me being the Container Store's best customer. We only use one closet for clothes... all the other closets contain my collections lol. I collected Pokemon cards too for a while - just the first three series though :) One nice thing about Pokemon cards is that they don't take up much storage space lol

Exactly! I love that about them. My mom is flying in tomorrow and bring my collection from home and she said she weighed the box and it weight 20+ pounds. :O What sucks is I have been broke for the last month. Hubby and I are trying to catch up on bills and save money to home for a week or so. So i haven't been able to buy any cards lately. I am entering a tournament on Saturday, so hopefully I will win some! :D I am going through withdrawals. :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lol... Talk about broke... I bought a few 1st edition packs :rofl: I quit buying them cause I wasn't getting any of the cards I wanted and they were way too expensive. My hubby liked it when I was on my Pokemon kick... cards were an easy birthday gift to get lol

Good luck at the tournament!

Bunny - I'm laughing at your obsession. My daughter was a Pokemon MANIAC for years. One Saturday morning she woke me up before 6:00 a.m. saying, "Mom, look! My Chimchar is evolving!!" She put her Nintendo right by my face so I could watch. I was like, "Is you crazy????" But now it's one of my favorite memories of her childhood. :D We still laugh about it.

I love my pokemon cards, but at 4.19 a booster pack it gets expensive!!! I have had some super good pulls tho. And I have one page in my binder that could basically pay for all that I have bought in the last 5 months. :D

I have no poke obsession. what is that? And who are these poke people you speak of?

Jeeze. I wish you well, my friend. I have no children. They are into this?
