Hidden Journaling:

Albert Einstein may have given us the Theory of Relativity, but I may have found the next greatest scientific theory. I have discovered what I am calling the Theory of Bad Habitility. The theory is this; if a single bad habit is introduced to another similar human interest (one possessing similar traits) then a new bad habit may evolve. How did I come up with such a ground breaking idea? Hopefully my personal involvement will explain. As most of you who know me have realized, I have the bad habit of shopping. Malls, retail stores, garage sales, online shopping: it’s my admitted greatest weakness next to my David. Take this bad habit and add my new passion for scrapbooking and PRESTO…scrapping is my new bad habit plus I have new shopping options for my old habit! Then we buy a new home and WHAMMY…home improvement is a new bad habit that I can scrapbook about and requires shopping to complete. Is the Theory any clearer now? And my most recent accidental experiment that further proves the theory is the auction.

I had the day off and saw in our local paper an add for an estate auction in a nearby town. The ad listed the items in the sale and so many things caught my eye that I decided I just had to go see how this auction thing worked. David was very supportive by getting directions for me and allowing me a budget even though it was a spur of the moment thing. When I finally arrived at the auction and got registered (magic number 95) I discovered that auctions are a whole new universe where window shopping meets sporting event. All the items for sale are displayed right in front of you for examination but without any price tags. Then the auction itself starts and the let the games begin! You have picked out things from the window shopping phase and when you hear another person bid on what you want the adrenaline starts pumping. You have to have that box of jars! I never thought I’d feel such a sense of accomplishment from winning a bidding battle but it was amazing. The amount of things you can get at the auction is incredible! The auctioneer randomly adds miscellaneous boxes to regular items and before you know it you bought a desk AND four boxes of records….VINYL records! The one thing I HAD to have from this auction was the last thing to go up for bid….the hammock chair in the picture. It perfectly fit the room theme I have of Cuteness Cove. Of course someone else bid against me, but whose home is the chair in now? You got that right bidding lady 36...MY HOUSE! By the time the auction was over it required two cars and a moving van to get everything home…and I only spent $72! I have since attended another auction and find my eyes scanning every newspaper or road sign for any new auctioning events I can attend. Another bad habit acquired, another proven event for the Theory of Bad Habitility.
