My wife tells me I am a "clothes hoar" and buy too many clothes.

Yes, I am a man who shops and cooks and does the laundry and doesn't fix things.

Buys too many clothes? Cycles? Are you my long-lost brother?

I am also really awesome at procrastinating. I'll tell you all the story of how I became so good at it someday...

I also enjoy drinking beer and eating waffles (thankfully I run eh?).

In the words of my late-coach : Just hang in there, relax... and at the end of a race anyone you see.....just pass them

I'm also kind of obsessive about budgeting. But it's a good obsession--we have gone from being 25k in debt with no savings to debt-free with over 10k in savings in about 3 years. And that was while we were dealing with a "surprise" pregnancy and various bouts of unemployment. So that particular addiction has served me well.

Running for two!

I used to have an addiction to real estate and beach houses, renovation and decorating. http://dunestosea.com/st-peters.html

The ensuing mortgage cured me of that addiction. Big grin Now, I'm addicted to only two things: running marathons and cocooning on the couch.

I am addicted to reading, knitting, and crocheting. Unfortunately I can't embroider, yet... but i know a couple of great teachers. Now, if only they were closer....

Thanks, Hilary! They are like my babies, my little creations. :-) They can also be headaches when it comes to maintenance. Just like kids, I guess. Big grin

I failed to mention cuddling with my two poodles. They get more love than the hubby. I love taking naps with them.

My husband is an engineer and cooks and cleans. I wish he loved shopping. He is the jack of all trades and can do just about anything. We've never hired a mechanic and we built our home from scratch.

Baboon loving to shop is a blessing AND a curse.......

And for the record, I CAN cook (he gets home before me) and I CAN do laundry (he just doesn't like how I fold his t shirts) LOL Big grin

I don't think there is any one thing I'm addicted to. I go through phases - like one week I'll eat peanut butter every day and then not have it for a month.

OOPS WAIT I thought of something.....I have an addiction to Jackets. Seriously - I have one for every weather contingency. My current favorite is an Arc'teryx number I picked up on departmentofgoods.com pppuuurrrrrr LOVE IT. AND I partially love it for the thrill of the chase. No purchase is at full retail Wink
