I've been at home for 4 days, last week I only went out twice so that means I also stayed at home for 5 days. What do I expect, I have no job yet ad I can't afford to go out that much. I'm budgeted.
So, as I was "reflecting" earlier I noticed that I have a lot of current addictions. I mean, I'm supposed to go out on this Friday but part of my mind don't want to because I'm not going to be able to spend time with my "addictions".
My current addictions are:
1. Watching House (all of the seasons) while eating chips and drinking lemonade.
2. Stay online, do mylot, click my PTC's, visit all my favorite sites and be updated about stuffs.
3. Go "window shopping" online. I can only browse for dresses and bags and shoes right now.
And a huge part for my number 1. After House, maybe Chuck or watch Gossip Girl again or go for CSI season 8. Series marathon, my biggest addiction, while eating chips and chocolates and drinking either water or lemonade.
I know this'll past. A couple of months ago, my addictions were books and malls. I bought 7 books in one day and I can't stand being in the house for 24 hours straight. But now, I can't stand NOT being at home for more than 3 hours.
How about you?

haha.. Be glad that u are able to stay home to relax till u get the chance to work outside, and u will know that the time spent at home now, is really hard to come by.. lol
My addiction has changed slightly over the years, but in overall, it's still the same addictions except that the priorities haved changed.. haha..
My greatest addiction now is running, followed by gym, mylot and lastly watching tv..
And my past addiction is, watching tv and snacking, smoking, gym and hated running.. lol =D
See the difference there?? haha

These addictions are kinda weird. I am addicted to fun and adrenline... I'm also addicted to smoking and online purchasing. I cant really say that i am addicted to mylot but i walways tend to lose track of time when i am on this site, i wuppose it is like picking up a book of questions and stories from all over the world. There is always something here of interest and if there is nothing specifically that you want start a new discussion.

I'm working at home so I have to get outside for at least a few hours a day and that is an obsession with me. I don't feel good if I'm inside for twentyfour hours a day.
When I am at home I am obsessed with what I do on my laptop which is writing, responding, voting, rating and searching. All of those are my addictions and I get paid for doing them.
I must end the day by reading for as long as I can. I would like to read during the day but I don't have time, so when all the work and other activities are done I can settle down with a good book.

I do too, sometimes I set aside my laptop, lie down on my bed and curl up with whatever book I have that I haven't read yet. I don't think it's also good to stay inside the house all day, I walk around our subdivision, get some sun, sweat, that takes me about 15-30 minutes at most. I need to do it more often though.

I love chocolate (what woman does not love chocolate, honestly), comic books, graphic novels, "Law & Order", "Grey's Anatomy", "Doctor Who", "Heroes", walking a lot, dancing, singing, acting, reading, writing, and driving in my car listening to music that scares the neighbors. I have a lot of things that I like to do, anything that will keep me busy.

I also love chocolates! Too bad I should lessen my sweets intake cos I am prone to having diabetes like my dad. I also love Grey's and Heroes. I actually just finished all of them before I started House... again! You act and dance and sing? I only dance and sing in my room when no one's watching.

Hi marababe,
I also can't stand to be inside the house before..I will always find way to go out!
But now, I have no choice...LOL! I am learning things here and have to be patient. So, this time I am loving this addiction of mine, Mylotting most of the time as well as taking care of my flowers and vegetables!
I don't watch TV often only when my hubby arrived from work!

The only interesting thing I can think of to maintain health is to walk. Power walk is the key! I can't really jog for too long cos I run out of air fast. I also keep "planning" on walking in the mornings around 7 AM the latest but I always wake up at 10 AM. Let's do the power walk! Sweat our asse* off before sitting around the whole day again.

Hi marababe,
Oh! dear you will have to get out of the addiction and go fine a job that will interest you, eating chips and driking lemonade is very bad for you and watching all that tv will make not want to got out the door at all, believe me it happened to me and eventually I became too scared to go outside, but now I am of ok, my only addiction is watching Big Brother and Mylotting.

Well my current addictions and past times are the following
1. Magic Tricks- been doing it since I was young
2. Bleach and Naruto Manga- I'm an anime and manga fan try to read it it's really addicting.
3. Making money online- I try to make more money because times are getting hard.
Maybe that would be my permanent addictions and obsessions because I always feel happy about it

Gilmore Girls. I really never get tired of watching all seven seasons and have watched it over and over again. I also love to blog so I guess that would be my other obsession. I like to read too, but I can only be obsessed about that if the book is really, really good.

I am into reading since the first day I learned to read. It is my passion. My obsession. I love reading good books during those times possible. I carry books whenever I go. or whatever I do. I could not live without books.

I have a major internet addiction. I am on it all day long. When I am not interneting, or playing with my pets I am eating or swimming. The only tv show I have on during the day is Dr. Phil. I always have been obscessed with that show and watch it even though there are reruns on now. I will be out tomorrow though.
