addictions.

things i am addicted to:

1. coffee. well. caffeine of any kind.

2. the new ABC show "Desperate Housewives." although articles like this make me a little less ashamed: CNN.com - Commentary: Why 'Housewives' is thriving - Oct 25, 2004

3. yoplait nouriche yoghurt smoothies. i drink 3 a week. at least. you can't let them get warm, but they're fortified with more vitamins and minerals than i knew existed. panthotenic acid? biotin?

4. cigarettes? well, maybe. i'm one of those people who says, "i can quit anytime i want, i just don't want to yet."

5. www.weather.gov and its parent noaa site. especially image archives.

6. watching mortgage rates, even though we've already locked. and settlement is in 11 days anyway. and articles like this: USA TODAY - Existing home sales surge in September

7. car reviews. i don't know why! this one is most puzzling. but i can't stop reading about all the new features and technology and marketing gimmicks behind new cars. i mean, cars i don't even care about otherwise like minivans.

i can't think of any more right now. and i haven't included little OCD habits, because i don't think they quite count as addictions.
