obsessions...

inspired by Jen Lemen:

Obsessions of a working mom living in Alameda, California....

~bags - yes, bags, bags and more bags... I buy one, I use it for months and then I switch again and yes, I come back to that bag, but then I switch again. I obsess about buying bags - all different colors, fabrics, sizes, shapes, whatever strikes me. I love bags because I don't have to try them on to see if they fit!

~shoes, I have a bit of an obsession with shoes but it's tapered off a bit since having Kadison and my shopping days are few and far between but if you look in my closet you will see that there are shoes, shoes and more shoes

~bowls - yes, all different sizes and colors. I looooovvvveee bowls. I wish I could buy every one I see that speaks to me but I don't because I shouldn't spend the money on bowls and I don't want to have to explain myself...there really isn't an explanation besides I just love them. Especially small oh so cute ones!

~blogs - yes, I obsess over you a few out there...

~paper - I have about 4-5 tubs of "art supplies" that hold all different colors and kinds of paper, I just can't help it. I love the feel of paper and all that it possesses....now it's just time to use it instead of housing it for that special thing

~the perfect t-shirt, the perfect black pants...I obsess but I still haven't really ever found the perfect black pants that fit "just right" even though I keep looking and buying something that's close but never just right. I have loads of t-shirts but nothing has ever really been "it". So I obsess over just finding those perfect mates.

~photos of people at the beach...if you are ever with me at the beach you will know that I have to photograph you in every way while we're there and I will ask you to pose and run and totally get into the "photoshoot". Don't know why but the beach brings that out in me..

~future - yes, I obsess way too much about the future and should just focus on the present but I have yet to find a way to really do that....besides reminding myself on a daily basis to sit, breathe and enjoy.

~parenting ~ being a good mom, a good parent...i read all kinds of books, magazines and listen to other moms...the obsession of a mom just trying to survive!

~I'm sure there are many many more things that I obsess over but ...that's it for now....

What a gorgeous picture! She is the cutest ever! I'm with ya on the obsessions...especially about the future. Too bad our minds didn't come with an "off" switch. That would be nice, eh?
