My New Addictions

Haha, okay so the title of this post is a bit misleading...it's not nearly as bad as it sounds! Recently I've had some cravings, which is kinda unusual for me as I'm not usually the type that craves anything in particular (just as BEW...he finds it annoying that I don't usually decide on anything, which drives him nuts)!

So here's a list of things I've been addicted to as of recent;

1. Beef brisket (with white broad noodles)...sooooo good!
2. Banana Bread from Sobey's (I think they call it Grandma's Banana Bread)
3. Ice cream (this one is strange for me as I don't usually grave sweet things)
4. Garlic Peas (sold at Walmart, with the peas packed in individual packages...so tasty)
5. Sweetened soy milk (the Chinese kind, not the Soy Nice, etc. types)
6. Looking at flyers online (I usually like to look on Friday mornings as most sales start on Fridays)
7. Creeping on other people's blogs
8. Scoping out real estate on Comfree and MLS
9. Bejeweled on FB
10. My guilty pleasure TV shows (includes Grey's Anatomy, Extreme Couponing, Cake Boss, Kitchen Boss, and the list unfortunately goes on and on and on...)

I wish my "addictions" included spending more time in Scriptures and other readings. In our cell group, the ladies have decided to partner up to hold each other accountable and to support each other through prayer and sharing. My partner and I have decided to call each other on Thursdays of each week and to meet for coffee periodically to have a face to face conversation. I think this is a really good thing as it will humble me if I have nothing to report back to my partner, admitting my lack of finding time to spend in prayer or in reading my Bible or my pure laziness.

Speaking of which...I should go read a chapter in the new book I have just started (by "just started", I mean literally I am going to read Chapter 1)...it's entitled "Love & Respect", by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. *Sigh*...so many things I have to work on...

I think that's the copy that I loaned to you, isn't it? A good book, BTW. And maybe "cravings" are hormonal? We just had beef brisket on fried rice at Number 9 two nights ago, and I had leftovers for lunch today. So fatty and comforting ;)

It may be the copy you "loaned" me...if you want it back after we're done with it, feel free to take it back :)

I've always loved the brisket...I think it's only been more recent that it's been added back to my rotation of foods I like to order at Chinese restaurants!
