brought home old fabric or wall paper books thinking you'll use them for...something?
held on to an item because someone else has one?
put away the nuts only to find 4 more cans in the back of the pantry?
been smitten by something that wasn't the direction you were heading
felt the adrenaline rush while treasure hunting?
kept friends at arms' length because your housework wasn't up to par?
given your kid the present you wanted but never got?
brought home a bathtub just because you could?
thought about bringing a 50 lb chunk of concrete into the house so no one would steal if from the spot where it's sat for 50 plus years?
stopped on the side of the road to pick up friends?
felt like life was passing you by while you're looking for the key?
Hubby and I watched a few episode of TLC's Hoarding: Buried Alive recently. When the narrator said compulsive shopping was part of the problem Hubby laughed. When they came to the part about possible genetic causes I laughed. We're in big trouble.
I really enjoyed all your comments on the last post. I'm sorry I haven't been by to visit yet. I've been making plans to make sure we don't end up on that show. I got a glimpse of the light at the other end of the tunnel, and it was coming from a fellow blogger's halo! There are angels among us!
And just so you know, Mona, I will save what is truley important and treat it that way. And Garden of Daisies, your imagery of a "dead cat under mountains of garbage in the living room" should keep several of us from continuing to brake for yard sales!
Hugs
Dawn
