I don’t think I have an addictive personality per se.
I have never smoked a cigarette in my life (this is a topic for another post!), I usually don’t drink and the caffeine that I consume daily probably doesn’t count as an addictive amount either. I am convinced that the caffeine doesn’t even have an effect on me, because I can drink it in the evening and then go to bed 30 minutes later without a problem.
My “addictions” are on a more subtle level. There are certain things that I can never get enough of. One would be “stationary stuff”. I can spend hours at stationary stores and you can make me really happy with pretty paper, stickers, and journals. I have a whole collection of (empty) journals and I could always buy more. I think part of me would have liked to do something creative with my life.
I also think I am a mug-aholic. I LOVE mugs in all shapes and sizes. It’s highly important to me to drink my tea or coffee out of a beautiful mug. It just makes the coffee taste better, or something like that.
J doesn’t even drink coffee. Yet, we have 11 mugs in our cabinet. 2 of those are J’s. You do the math.
BTW, I am a firm believer that every beverage has its special glass or mug that it has to be drunken out of… milk does NOT go in glasses, but in a tumbler,
tea should go in a tea cup or glass cup
and coffee should either go in a coffee cup (with saucer) or mug.
Simple as that :)
Do you have any secret “addictions”?

November 8, 2008 at 5:00 pmI love mugs, too! I have so many already (almost all in storage right now) and I could always buy more! Especially when I drink tea by the cup I need a big mug…otherwise I feel it’s such a waste of a tea bag. I love the large Starbucks city mugs for that!

November 8, 2008 at 8:44 pmHey – thanks for your comment today through NaBloPoMo! Only 23 more posts to go!
I love makeup and horde it – even though I hardly wear it anymore these days with 2 small children. My husband has your mug addiction, only he doesn’t like any of them to match. Needless to say, our current mug cupboard looks remarkably similar to my mug cupboard when I was a starving college student! Shhhh, don’t tell but sometimes I “accidentally” break one that I think is particularly hideous!

November 9, 2008 at 6:57 amCoffee 30 minutes before going to bed? I think you’re addicted ;-). I totally understand your mug addiction. Mugs are just so pretty! I miss mine from Germany!
Smoochie!
