I'll go first....

•over-exercising

•buying new socks

•gardening

•cruising/vacationing

I'll try to think of more and add them later.

1. Traveling and exploration, my first love. If I'm not jumping on a plane at least once a month, I get.. itchy.

2. Ingress. Check it out. Really! It goes nicely along with #1

3. Meeting new people

4. Entrepreneurial type things. I love trying new things and learning the market. I am currently running a side business alongside my full time job and it's very exciting.

5. Homesteading.. fascinated by this, but I don't have the resources (aka my own home, a piece of land, etc). But I love things like brewing my own kombucha, making soap, candles, etc.

Why aren't we BFFs?! The surgery, has inspired me to change my life. I am about to go move into an RV and travel the country, and Mexico! I have this idea in my heart, that while I'm out there I will find a beautiful piece of land, to make a home on, maybe even a small farm! And you should definitely open up an Etsy store!

That is so exciting!!! I'm thrilled for you! I would love to stay in contact through your journey. Will you be blogging it?

I then weaned myself of the sugar and then the coffee...

I still have one triple espresso every day...

No sugar...

Just coffee in all its glory!!!

This explains everything.............

Reading

Buying makeup and watching YouTube videos with makeup reviews and tutorials

Planning with stickers in my Erin Condren planner (and watching YT videos related to this hobby)

Studying (at the workaholic level)

Going to psychodynamic psychotherapy and learning about psychoanalytic theory.

Volunteering

Angels baseball. I'm pathetic. I need to buy a treadmill so I'd at least walk while watching.

Shopping. I've always been a shopper, but now I have to replace every item since the old ones are way too big.

And makeup. Always have been into it, but it's gettin a little out of hand.

But I look cute.

College Football, hockey, walking, hiking, gardening, myhusband, Ruth Goodman tv shows on youtube.

I'm here in the UK and love anything that Ruth Goodman does. She is such a quiet genius and gloriously eccentric. She does great pieces for UK TV and her sense of dress is as much fun as she is. I reckon she's a bit of a treasure!

My latest obsession is nails! If the rest of me is beginning to look halfway decent then the nails have got to be got up to scratch (pun intended). No subtle colours for me either, just got neon pink gel. What do you expect from a 59&1/2 year old? Subtle beige or shell pink maybe?

My transfer addictions have been going back and forth between sex, flirting, working out, and my phone. Currently I am all about my phone and need it surgically removed from my hand. The attention and flirting are going to get me in trouble, but is sorely lacking from my husband. So I compensate by looking elsewhere. Working out is just something I do and have fun with to be healthy.

I've always had a shopping addiction and I don't see it getting better after losing weight. I love ebooks (fluff only - nothing that requires a lot of thinking or that will make me anxious).

I'm obsessed with dogs - particular my own. They are my children.

Unfortunately I'm addicted to FB and lately BP. Lol

I love gardening but we have a horrible gypsy moth catepillar infestation that prevents me from enjoying being outside and I haven't planted any flowers this year. Catepillar poop and chewed leaves rain down constantly and is everywhere in my yard, on my deck, gets in your hair! YUCK!

My latest food addiction is sugar free popsicles. I go thru stages. Last addiction was celery and sour cream dip - that lasted a few months.
