Sometimes I obsess over something for a short time and then forget about it. Carrot cake was on my list for a while. I told myself that it was healthy because it was so full of carrots, but in no time I was over it. Maybe I got tired of being so healthy.
Now I have two obsessions that luckily don’t include food. I had been looking for an antique letter opener, thinking it would be fun to use one while looking great on my desk. I bid on a few, but lost. And now I realize it was a good thing. I read that things often happen exactly when you need them to.
I happened upon a battery-powered letter opener, at midnight, on Amazon. It had great reviews and it was inexpensive so I ordered one. I am now obsessed with opening all of my mail, including the junk mail, with my new gadget. I loved this gadget so much, that I ordered some for Christmas gifts. Although some of the recipients loved it, others were less than excited over their strange gift. If you’re interested, I will let you know when they will hold their next garage sale.
My other obsession is a rebounder. When I was younger, they called them mini trampolines. Why I thought I needed a piece of exercise equipment, purchased at midnight, I might add, is beyond my understanding. When it arrived, I had second thoughts and packed it back up. My daughter said I should re-think returning it because people love them. Several YouTube videos showed me people happily bouncing away on their rebounders.
So, I kept it. Now I am totally obsessed and love bouncing to the oldies. It reminds me a bit of of my pogo stick from years ago. I am also losing a bit of weight. I just hope I don’t obsess about carrot cake again.
