My Latest Addictions

You might well guess that one of my new addictions is my washing machine. You'd be absolutely right. It turns out that my clothes from the washer dry in 5% of the time it took the clothes that I personally hand wrung out took. Apparently, I am a horrible wringer. Good thing there are machines that work as my slaves to do it for me.

The second obsession is Grey's Anatomy. Okay, yeah, you probably all saw this show before. The rave reviews I've heard!! Not even just from news media, but friends as well. But it's on after Desperate Housewives and I've been antsy with sitting and watching too much TV lately. So, I decided to clean while watching this new show. Oh. My. God. I bawled my eyes out. It was the one (for you loyal fans) with the two people that had one pole through both of them from a freak train accident. I bawled! Just to emphasize how much this show got to me -- at one point I had to turn up the volume to overcome my heaving! Yes, I was doing the full on panting, crying, hiccupping crying. Was that an extraordinarily sad episode? Or am I doomed to be addicted to a show that will make a wreck of a person, a mere shell of my former self each Tuesday night? I actually spoke outloud, to myself, at the end of the show: "You horrible, wonderful, dramatic show." I am officially addicted.

Another obsession: the soundtrack to said sobfest. I need it so bad I need it yesterday.

Also, in less intense addictions: honey, peanut butter, tuna, and cream cheese sandwiches are back with a vengeance; hot water bottles; books about people with extreme talents (beauty [is that a talent?], dancing, performing, etc); bleach; cleaning; and my love affair with the Sims is back too.
