I buy paper tablets and notebooks and storage containers small and large. I have boxes of lined paper, lose and in tablets. I also cannot pass up a storage box, large or small. I have a ton of those too. I probably won't stop buying them anytime soon. I have yet to find a storage box or container I don't need. Every January, my grocery store puts up a huge display of nice boxes and baskets for organization in the section where the Christmas candy was the month before. It's more tempting than the candy!

Probably one of my top five things about being retired. I love not having to drive 20 miles in ice or slush. I live in a city with 5 army bases and lots of people are new to driving in snow each year and it can be more harrowing to deal with inexperienced snow drivers. What city has 5 army bases?
Self-discipline for me would be cutting back on gifts for holidays.
Colorado Springs.

I have a small shelf of really cute notebooks that I don't want to mess up.

Fabric. I have an obscene amount of fabrics. I will never use all that I have, yet I keep buying more.
Then it becomes " too pretty to cut" so I have to buy more.
They need a 12 step program for my addiction to fabric.

I can only control my ebook addiction by subscribing to Kindle unlimited. I force myself to stick to books available in that platform like 80% of the time. But, in your case, that would drive me nuts. Just buy the book! 🤣 It’s soooo tempting! But if I let myself do it this time, it will be opening the floodgates

my computer game - it is silly to spend money on it, but I do. I have restricted myself to Sundays only for spending any money on it and I won't spend more than $10.But really that is way too much too. Inquiring minds want to know which game this might be? Because of course I need a new game to play! Its Seekers Notes -comes with multiplatform versions. But I only play it on my computer. What keeps me hooked is there is multiple types of games in it - seek and find, connect three, concentration and more.

Colorado Springs. Oh...no they have Air Force bases too...they aren’t all Army. Nothing will piss off military people than confusing them with the wrong branch. Ft Carson is Army. Peterson, USAFA and Cheyenne are Air Force. Oh and Shriever! Air Force too.

Peterson, USAFA and Cheyenne are Air Force. Oh and Shriever! Air Force too. Yes, should have said military bases. NORAD also. Funny, the military people I have met don't get pissed off if you mess that up. Lived here 32 years and they have all been pretty nice.

Books are also my weakness - especially cookbooks.
I'll buy another one even though I have a stack of 5 I haven't read. I particularly love the 'lifestyle' cookbooks that are out now. I even bought Reese's "Whiskey In A Teacup" the other day which I loved lol!

Ordering takeout/delivery. I am good at cooking and even like to cook. But I really enjoy getting food delivered.

frosted animal crackers. They are my weakness. Also audiobooks. I need to figure out if my library has a program where I can check out and listen on my phone. I love to listen while I'm making soap or crocheting.

And those cute little bundles of fat quarters at Tuesday Mornings snag me every time and I don't even quilt!

For me its pens and paper/notepad. If you could see the storage drawers I have dedicated to pens - fountain pens, gel pens, fineliners - I love them all! And the hunt for the smoothest paper and perfect size notebook is neverending. And still I will see a pen tip size or shade and feel like I HAVE to have it. Tokyo pen shop and Jetpens are seriously my downfall - thank God there isn't a similar type store in Canada.

I want to know what book it is! lol The Lost Man by Jane Harper. I loved The Dry (Force of Nature was good too) and mysteries are my guilty pleasure. I'm buried with work lately and having an entertaining diversion that has nothing to do with anything of consequence is just what I need. Of course, I already have plenty of books that would fit the bill but for some reason, this one just really is calling me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hmmmmm. I think I'll have to check that one out.
Thanks!!!!
