Explaining, stalling and admitting an addiction

1)  Now that Fun Monday is done for the week, I've got "naked blogging" to catch up on (and NO, scarypeople, that isn't about sitting--undressed--at your computer...or standing, for that matter).  The thing is, I'm also wrist deep into finishing our Western Adventure series.  Why can't I finish it?  Is it because I have a.d.d. when it comes to writing?  Is it because I'm meeting my husband for lunch and having a very-necessary pedicure before my feet start looking like THIS?   (click that link ONLY if you're very, very b.r.a.v.e.)?  Is it because of on-going technical difficulties?  Or because we took so many pictures I slip into a dreamy, ethereal state when I look at them and I'm instanta- neously mentally (where it counts) teleported back to the Grand Tetons or meandering through the 2,000,000+ acres of Yellowstone instead of writing about it ...? 

That would be a reverberating "y e s! thankyewverymuch!"

2)  The addiction spoken of in the title can be explained with this:

What is it you ask?  A spice jar-sized creamer and sugar set, much like the similarly-packaged picnic-ready salt and pepper shakers you might find on aisle 7 at your local grocer's.

What it is, is not relevant.  That I bought it in the first place, is.  A)  I certainly didn't need it; and B) the singular reason I bought it was it cost 10¢...one thin dime.  Originally $1.75, for some inexplicable reason, I HAD to have it!  One of the BEST bargains I've ever found!  I wanted to buy several of them to give away as enviable prizes in some kind of spectacular blog giveaway... hmmm, or maybe Ree will want a few for her photo caption contest, yes? .  WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THAT???  IT MAKES NO SENSE, EVEN TO ME!      

See?  a true addiction...I'm so ashamed...my need to buy something just because it's 95% off.  Sick, I tell ya, sick!

[3]  Here's a sursee I bought myself recently.  Seems like I'm developing "plaque", too...and not just the kind a little dab of Crest will take care of.

This joins the other plaque I featured in a previous Fun Monday.  Gosh, if you super-size the picture and read the baby cercie I bought myself at the same time, you're gonna think I NEVAH clean my house.

Would that be the worst thing in the world?  Tad, you are NOT allowed to comment! ;)
