My Obsessions

I swear I suffer from some sort of OCD...but we'll get more into that in a future post.

I've been married for almost 7 years now. Wow, how time flies! I would be lying if I said all those 7 years were picture perfect but I think that learning how to deal with bumps in the roads and arguments...I mean "heated discussions" with your significant other is apart of the whole journey. I'm happy to say that my husband has become my best friend. He knows what I'm thinking before I say anything. He's even been quick to also point out my weird obsessions...

So I'm told I've got an obsession over the following:
  • Cleaning the house after midnight and last minute cleaning before guests arrive. I was trying to clean the house before we went out of town for a wedding last week. My cousins were staying at the house to take care of Jake & Harley. I asked my husband to vacuum before we left in the morning. He stood at the front door and gave me a "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" look and said- "Seriously? Let's not try to put up the facade that we are clean and organized people"... Me: "HMMPHHH! Sooo...what are you saying? I don't do a good job cleaning the house???" bastard...

  • Bedding - I have probably bought 6 sets of either duvet covers and/or comforter sets in the past year. The sad thing is...we only own 2 beds. I don't know what it is about bedding sets that make me smile. LOL. I know sad... but a quick change of bedding can change the look of any room! Plus- winter time calls for a different color comforter than let's say spring time!

  • Sales...especially those accompanied with a coupon. Enough said. I love when Kate Spade has an online sale with coupon codes! :D

  • Camera Equipment - I do extensive research before I buy any camera equipment and do a lot of back and forth debating in my head whether or not I should make the investment. It took me 6 months to decide on what type of camera lens to buy. Funny, it only took me a 3 days to decide on putting an offer in on our house.

  • Sanitation... okay, not sure if this is an obsession but I will never ever be comfortable sharing two key items with ANYONE (related or not) - my toothbrush and my bath towel.

  • My lifeline - I went through a stint where I studied palmistry and card reading. I even took a parks & recs class on it. My lifeline on both my palms are short. This worries me and I always cry to Dave to LOOK AT MY LINES!! WTH?! sob sob... Guess short lifelines will just push me to live life in the moment. I'm starting on my bucket list early...
I know everybody has their quirks.
So what sort of weird obsessions do you have?
