current addictions...

picked this up from a blog i read occasionally - if you wanna do it here are the rules:

title your post 'current addictions'
list at least 5 current addictions
mention the person who got you onto it
tag two others

1) books
what more needs to be said, really? i've posted about this addiction before....but today (having had some very bad news) i took myself off for some retail therapy (haven't done that in ages) and once i'd given target the once over (and i mean once over - left there with 4 bags of stuff, mainly xmas presents for other people, but still, retail therapy...) i took the bags to the car, came back in and went to dymocks! i was actually looking for just one book (by an author who's first book i loved) but they didn't have it - however what i found was that people who work in book stores usually have an interest in books, and these 3 particular sales people (yep, it wasn't very busy so i had most of the staff to myself) loved books, and before you know it, i've walked out of there with not one book but six!

2) catch of the day
and i'm not talking about fish! this is something the young grads at work have got me onto - it's a website that everyday at midday has a 'catch of the day' - generally a product that's kinda cool and usually massively discounted...sorry to say it, but having only been registered on there for about 10 days, i have made 5 purchases! yep, i'm addicted...

3) tea
and who wouldn't be? seriously? i love my tea and moreso since ben and i started going out coz he loves it too, and more often than not, he makes it for me! so i now not only love the actual tea itself, but the ritual (actually, always did, but it's way nicer to share it with someone special)...right now we're drinking T2 Daintree tea (as the name suggests grown here in the australian daintree forest - low tanin and low caffeine)...

4) cricket
and of course i'm always addicted to cricket, but it's summer so now my addiction at least is being fed! enjoyed the tour of india (well done to them) and now it's nice to have the cricket broadcast on free to air tv during daylight hours....and of course now it's on Channel 9 i can enjoy my cricket with commentary from my favourite commentator, who other than richie benaud...

5) love...
i've always believed that true love might not find me...how wrong i was! the feeling of love that two people can create is addictive and i'm thrilled ben found me

to nicole (aka nicole in london) thanks! enjoyed your meme...good to see you writing again!

laurel and mjb - if either of you read this (as my most loyal readers!) then i'm tagging you!
