So I'm Addicted

It's not just a name. Some things are "must haves" in my world. Albeit, not everyday, but every chance I get, I take a hit.

So here is it...the first among many lists, I'm sure. Just a few of the addicts addictions.

*SHOES- the number one addiction of all time. It's officially the crack in my life. Stilettos. Boots. Slingbacks. Peep-toes. Flats. I love them all. Nothing makes me happier than shopping for shoes. (Well, maybe the big "O", but that's another post.)

*Accessories- you know that line "she get it from her mama"? That's me, all day. My mother, the head Diva, gets the award for this one. Jewelry, purses, hats, scarves...you name it. I love it all.

*MAC- I think this one speaks for itself. A trip to the MAC counter can run me anywhere from $50-200. Easy. Shouts to all my fellow MAC addicts out there.

*Martinis- because I'm just that Diva. Nothing screams classy, trendy, sexy, and seasoned like a Martini. An apple martini to be specific. That's my fav, but I don't discriminate :) I'm an equal opportunity martini drinker.

*Sex and the City- OK, I was Carrie Bradshaw in my former life. I would do bodily harm for her wardrobe. I love the show's tribute to fashion, friendship and free thought. *Currently working on getting all 6 seasons on DVD. All contributions welcome.*

*The beach-my heart place. The sun, the sand, the ocean. Nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. So carefree...so me. It's where I plan to retire.

*Barnes and Noble-I love to read. I've lost whole days in this store. I really have to plan my visits there. If I get here, you might have to put out an APB on my behalf. To quote my aunt, "Barnes and Nobles isn't just a bookstore, it's an experience."

*Mob movies- I'm so addicted to organized crime, it should be a crime. It appeals to my nature for some reason. It's the combo of power and respect...so sexy. Love all mob movies/shows: The Sopranos, Casino, Donnie Brasco, Goodfellas, Scarface, The Godfather, A Bronx Tale, Road to Perdition, Reservoir Dogs...yes and yes.

*Bojangles, Sonic and Chick-Fil-A-I'm not a big fast food junkie, but these are my "big 3." Especially now that I live in the north and can't get them as regularly...it's a must when I cross the Mason Dixon.

*Working out- Clearly. My major in college was Exercise and Sports Science, with a minor in Biology. I'm a Senior Health and Fitness Specialist for a major sports programming network. I coordinate the group fitness program-which means I design classes, the schedule, hire (and fire) instructors, and kick ass when teaching-, manage interns, and write exercise programs for employees. My work day sometimes consists of going to other fitness centers and working out, or educating our population about making healthy lifestyle choices. I'm certified in Kickboxing, Pilates, Ball, and aerobic training. Basically, I get paid to sweat.



More to come. Until then, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
