Addicts Anonymous

Yesterday I got paid!!!

Payday is seriously one of the best days ever. It ranks right up there with Christmas and my birthday. It's like for one week (or day, at least) I don't have to worry about whether or not my landlord will cash rent checks, or some random check I wrote 2 months ago will be cashed by a friend, or a loan payment I forgot about goes through and sucks my bank account dry. Instead the fear is replaced with a false sense of security and euphoria and an intense urge to......ya, you guessed it......go SHOPPPPPPING.I experienced all those emotions yesterday. And I now understand why they always say the easiest way to get rid of one addiction is to replace it with another....

coffee.... check
running....check
spending an excessive amount of money grocery shopping...check check
drinking....check (jk i only had one glass of red)

But nothing could quite squash the urge.....

Anyone got any ideas for a productive addiction I could adopt (with a clear conscience)? I really need something to take the edge off and keep me away from the malls :)


PS...I haven't shopped in 26 days....booyah!
