oh my... addictions:
1) Starbucks: I too am a starbucks junkie. When I was told 2 months ago, that they were discontinuing the Valencia syrup (my fav combination? Grande Mocha Valencia Frapp with whip), I almost began to cry. It was sad really. But...
2) MySpace: I'm a youth leader and since all of my youth and college and high school friends are on it, I decided to join. The trouble comes when an internet venue becomes the source of reality for some people... not good. Or when it is the best source of gossip for what ever happened to those high school friends that you haven't heard from in 5 years.
and finally 3) this blog: I am a writer in a very-busy-person's body. I love to write, I'm good at it, but I never have time to do it. But somehow, I have time to check this blog multiple times a day just to see what's new with my fav writers on the Christian fiction circuit. You girls are inspiring to me. I love your work, I love your personalities, and most of all, I admire your faith. You're real. You know the ups and downs and how the world works, and yet your faith stands strong... or at least, that's what we see. Thank you... for being you.
thats it... hope you enjoyed my addictions!! ;-)
I wish I could say broccoli or brussel sprouts, but alas, it's sweets. I know that just surprises all of us. The problem is my characters eat chocolate, pancakes and syrup, drink Starbucks. I mean, what can I do? I try to do write healthy characters, I really do, but some evil twin takes over, and next thing I know I'm writing a scene where the protagonist is binging on chocolate and drinking a frappuccino.
Also email. If I cut email from my life, I could probably write ten books a year. Yeah, right, like that's gonna happen.
diet coke. soooo bad for me... but sooo addicted!
and the internet. i spent WAY too much time online! bad bethie!
Mine would be Dr. Pepper. Love it. Coffee is okay in small doses spaced FAR apart, but if I miss my can of Dr. Pepper a day, I get kind of sad. :-)
Is Starbucks even legal anymore? Something that addictive has to be bad in many, many ways.
My addictions include, you guessed it, Starbucks. My fav drink is a Vanilla Latte, but sometimes I go crazy and get random things. Like that Cinnamon Dolce Latte, it reminded me of Christmas. Other addictions include reading and shopping.
I feel like a princess when I'm browsing the candy aisle at the convenience store. I think it might actually have something to do with just spending money.
Narnia: This started at age 11 when I first read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - and finished the entire series in two days. And read the whole series six more times that year. Yeah, a bit obsessed. And it revived in full force with the movie - Narnian MySpace, Narnian Xanga, Narnian necklace, reading half a dozen books about Narnia, Narnia Stratego, NarniaWeb, Narnian keychain, email addy theloneislands, Narnian Happy Meal toys, and I just ordered Narnia checks.
Internet: I'm not fully addicted to any one part (except perhaps email) but I embrace many aspects: Yahoo, MySpace, Xanga, blogs, Bloglines, and writers forums.
Myers-Briggs: I read Do What You Are and fell in love with a typeology structure which at last described me accurately. And now I drive everyone crazy with it. (I'm a INFP - what are you? Ack! - *slaps hand* - Stop it!)
Coffee. Java. Kawa. Cafe. Caffe. Koffie. Kaffee.
In any language, it all means the same, doesn't it?
Oh. And a sappy moment? I'm addicted to my husband. Can't get enough of him. I even have him working for me now ... I'm his manager ... isn't THAT a riot?!?
I'm an ESTJ!! Nothing surprising there except when I took the test with a group, my scores were at the extreme high for each category.
Trying not to think about my addictions, but I had a yummy yummy Starbucks drink after the gym yesterday morning...a banana mocha frapp lite. Perfect for breakfast!
Mine is chocolate velvet coffee, by MillStone. Best stuff in the world. Gotta have the caffiene.
Fortunately the cardiac gurus of the world can't decide if caffiene is good or bad for hearts! LOL
Until they make a final decision, me a coffee, Starbucks and MillStone will be bosom buddies. Can I say that here? ;o)
Oh, yeah, my dh just walked by, read this and said I'd better say handbags or I'd be dishonest. Okay, so I buy a lot of those and shoes. Use the hand bags, admire the shoes. I wear them to church, and take them off and leave them under the pew. At least the janitor knows who to save the stray ones for. :o)

I definitely have to say that I have several obsession in my life....
1) Starbucks- venti nonfat light whip caramel macciato! Yum!!
2) Myspace.com- it is a great way to keep up with friends that have moved away and see what they are doing on the other side of the world
3) facebook.com- similiar to myspace but is a way for high school and college students to keep track of each other. #1 way my college age ministry keeps track of all of our events. You can only be someones friend in real life if they are your friend on facebook lol
4) Scrapbooking- my passion! I absolutely love love love it! I would like to own my own store one day.
5) Ebay.com- I have an almost unhealthy addition to ebay. I am constantly buying stuff.It is a great way to buy cheap scrapbook stuff! I love coming home and there are new packages on my front steps. It is like Christmas everyday!!
There are definitley things that I find very enjoyable in life that can be taken to the extreme for sure!
