Strange Addictions

Post for Monday, September 24, 2012

I had seen commercials here and there for the show, My Strange Addictions, but never had the chance to watch it.  However, a couple of weeks ago, I ran across it while I was choosing my programs to DVR.  I decided to tape it, it was crazy with a capital C.  Who would have thought that someone really eats dryer sheets, chalk, or wakes up every day and wants to run 100 miles?  This is what I have seen so far in the 2 hours I have watched it.  I can tell you, if you need a break from reality and lots of laughs, watch this show!  As soon as I can remember when it comes on I am going to try to tape it again.  Pure entertainment and it makes me feel normal.  LOL.

After watching this show, I was trying to think if I have any strange addictions.  Not really, nothing comes to mind.  I am addicted to caramel frapps from Starbucks, Werthers Candy Apple candies, but nothing bizarre or out of the ordinary I don't think. 

Now my mom and Brittanee both like eating noodles with butter AND sugar on them.  I always found that to be odd, they love it.  LOL thinking about that, I did remember my one true strange addiction, burnt popcorn.  I haven't had any in a long time.  I used to put in the microwave at work or home and open the door to have the smoke rolling out forever and people would complain about the smell.  Let me just clear this up and say that I would not eat it if you didn't see any white left on the popcorn piece, if it was charred beyond recognition that bag had to go to the trash!

One more thing, before I had gastric bypass, I hated coffee-the smell, the taste, everything about it!  I was addicted to the creamers though, whenever we went to a hotel or restaurant I would load up on all kinds of flavors and drink them by themselves later.  Once, as a gag gift, Kathy gave me a bag full of creamers for Christmas, and guess what I drank every one of them.   Talk about funny!  Since I have had surgery I love coffee and drink it as much as I can.  I guess I am still not a diehard coffee fan, as I only drink Hazelnut coffee from my Keurig and put some Hazelnut creamer in it and I only have 1 cup.  No more drinkng the little creamer packages for Kazi. 

Do you have any strange addictions?  If you would like to share, I would love to hear all about them!
