Indulgences... I have a lot.

I don't know... maybe I have the wrong idea about indulgences. I don't just have a few things that I indulge in every so often, I have lots of little things that I indulge in all of the time. I think it probably has to do with the fact that I live with clinical depression.  But I like to have things around me that make me happy and I like to have them around at all times so that when I'm having a bad day or bad moment I can look around and see something that gives me warm fuzzies.

If you were to look at my desk at work you’d find things like a Kermit Pez dispenser, a frog dressed up as a fairy, a Buckingham palace guard who is also a frog, Smurf figurines, tons of pictures, fun pens, and quotes or silly sayings I’ve posted on my wall.  I don’t need any of those things in order to do my job each day, but they make me happy so I want them there.  When I grab a pen out of the cup that I got at the Bad Ass Coffee Shop in Orlando, I think of being there in my Happy Place.  When I use a pen that has a great big Kermit face on the end of it, I smile because he’s my little green boyfriend and I love him longtime.

Other indulgences I have include Starbucks, Biggby (when there isn’t a Starbucks around), good hand lotion, body butter ,awesome pens (don’t steal my pens!), fun coffee mugs,  McDonald’s Coke (I like to call it Liquid Crack), yarn (so much yarn!), art supplies, office supplies, planners, and books… so many, many books!

Indulgences of the Eye Candy sort include Joe Manganeillo who is currently playing the starring role in just about everything I write because he’s just so damn delicious.  Then there’s Rooney Mara because she was freaking brilliant in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I have a serious crush on her.

I could go on for days talking about my indulgences, really.  Instead, I give you pictures of Joe and Rooney.




 
Have a great week!

I totally understand the need to have little things around you that make you happy or that at least serve as a touchstone to some kind of momentary peace.

I have things like that, too. Rocks in particular work well for me. Lots and lots of rocks. :)

Also...Joe is sigh worthy. *le sigh*

My NaNoWriMo story I'm (still) working on stars Joe as the main character Trevor. He's a pretty man to write. :)
