It seems like my blog posts keep getting further and further apart....UGHH! That bothers me only because that means that I am not taking the time I promised myself to sit back and reflect.
So again, my loyal blog readers, you are in for a doozy of a long post! HA!
Definition of:
ad·dic·tion
1 Compulsive physiological and psychological need for a habit-forming substance:
2. The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something.
I have many! Some good, some not so good or even bad really!
Addictions good, bad or otherwise are really truly healthy. I think they make you take a step back and look at life and the things around you that help you make it through the day, week or even year.
Here are a few of my addictions:
*Smoking ( didn't think I was gonna start off with the bad one did you???)
I hate smoking! No, really I do! I have been "quitting" off and on now for about 6 months. My latest stint lasted about a month and then BANG! All the sudden I was at the gas station paying for gas when the words " a pack of Parliament Ultra lights and a BIC please" came out of my mouth!!! Are you kidding me? I didn't just ask for that did I? I sure did and the rest is history! Damn It! What kind of power ( or lack there of ) came over me to ask for such a thing?
So yes smoking is one of my addictions. Now here's the thing. As I stated before, I hate smoking! I honest truly hate everything about it. I don't smoke in front of my kids, I hate the way it looks, I hate the way it smells/tastes, I hate having to go outside in the freezing ass cold to do it! I hate how much a pack of cigarettes cost, I hate what I KNOW it is doing to my health. The way I feel in the morning after smoking the day before is so icky! So why do I do it? Because it is a TRUE addiction! Hopefully in another month I can put an update to this post saying that I am addicted to the thrill of NOT smoking......I dunno.
*Balancing My Checkbook
Yet again another odd addiction, but I LOVE IT! Even when there is not the amount of $$$ I would like to see in the account, I am obsessed with balancing my checkbook. So after browsing some other blogs, I found a post talking about a website called mint.com. It basically balances your checkbook and helps with seeing where you budget could use a little help....I believe that my next addiction will be mint.com.
*Water
hahaha I just giggled to myself because I think I am either officially "OLD" considering my addictions, OR am just getting a little wiser....
Anyways, I used to be an avid Diet Coke Drinker.....truly to the point where I could have used a 12 step program for this one....then I came to realize the beauty of a glass of water! I constantly have either my water jug or a bottle of water with me at ALL times! My skin is great, my belly gets full much easier and YES I love how often I have to go to the bathroom!! I am obsessed with the fact that my urine is now clear and if there is a tinge of color I know that I haven't had enough water for the day! Water=Urine=Flushing Fat=True Love!
*My babies
They are just so beautiful! I love them so much and can't get enough of them! Although at times I do lock myself away for a bit, when I am away from them or vice versa.....I go through immediate withdrawals!
*My husband
Ok cheesy I know. But I am seriously in love with my husband. Many of you know that Justin and I have had our fair share of rough patches over the last 14 years, some worse than others, but at this moment in life I believe I have truly learned from every single one of our experiences. After Justin and I went to Mexico in August of '07 things just seemed to really connect. We have a strong understanding of each others wants, needs and desires. Our goals both together and individually are important to each of us. The amount of respect, trust and passion that has been gained/earned is something that we both feel very strongly about. We have grown as friends, individuals and partners. Justin is my soul mate and one of my most important and longed for addictions.
*My Job
Pure Romance has become such a huge part of my life! What started off as a hobby quickly became a passion of mine! I love going into women's homes and educating them on their body's and sexual health. The thought that there are women out there well beyond their 40's, 50's and even 60's that have never experienced an orgasm is very heart wrenching to me. There is still a stigma ( unfortunately ) that goes along with my line of work, but I am working diligently on changing that through my passion, hard work and dedication.
*Britney Spears
K it's a guilty one and I am sure I will get some nasty remarks about it, but I LOVE Britney Spears! I don't care what any of you may say the girl makes ya wanna get up and dance! If you haven't heard her new CD Circus, I highly recommend that you run out right now and BUY it! The girl is a force to be reckoned with!
*Hockey
Read my past blogs. Ask me who my favorite professional/college teams are and you will quickly figure that one out!
* The Internet
The damn Internet can totally and completely suck me in hour after hour....there are so many amazing "finds" on the Internet and I LOVE "finding" them! :)
* A great glass of wine
ahhhhh
Now don't get any crazy ideas here....I fully enjoy my wine but I am not in need of a 12 step program for that one.
Of course there are many many more and maybe I will start another post to include those, but for now this is what I've got!
God Bless & Warm Regards,
~Jessica
