Obsessed?

Are any of you out there obsessed with anything? Fixated, preoccupied, never stop thinking about certain things from shopping for that special pair of shoes or dress, to having to have things neat or pillows set a definite way, or only eating certain foods or playing some particular only games, you know what I mean needing to have to do something because you are unable to stop yourself or lacking self control with this silly little thing that’s really not that big a deal?
Is that an obsessive compulsive disorder or just a quirk? An idiosyncrasy, Geez it does sound idiotic, huh? Perhaps being just a wee bit eccentric sounds a bit better, sort of like a dotty rich old maiden aunt, right?
I say it’s okay to be unconventional!
Here, here, aren’t we all somewhat a smidge off the wall at different times in our lives?
Standard behavior can be rather boring and so I say let yourself go!
Be silly; be passionate over anything including those shoes or game that you enjoy or whatever as long as you hurt no one including yourself.
The pillow thing though can be annoying and I do speak from experience on that one, oops that can be me…
Skipper our Bichon Frise is a spoiled child/dog and is allowed on furniture and our bed even oh, no you say!
Yep we are bad parents I suppose but he is only a fifteen pounder and lovable and I do have his Mommy Blankets on the sofa that are white and fluffy like him thus the name.
You see, he does have his moments of rambunctious behavior where he knocks our decorative pillows off onto the floor from the other side away from his Mommy Blankets which cover one side and the back too for he lies there to look out our picture window. The blankets sort of look like fleece on those suede jackets we had up north? Those pillows are my slight obsession for I believe they should remain where I place them! LOL of course that’s silly and if it was a grandchild doing it I would probably just laugh and pick them up, which I do anyway but I do tell Skipper about my dismay with his behavior.
But we are most of the time way too liberal with him and so he has become a free thinker and misbehaves accordingly; testing his allowances not unlike any human child; Hubby more so than me with that leeway.
I suppose in many cultures his attitude may be considered flagrant disobedience but he is a true friend and loving child and my exercise cheerleader!
As you all must know by now that I have been exercising daily since just a few days before Christmas.
Any-who, as I lie on my yoga mat to do my exercises Skipper kisses me, silly tickle-y smoochie kisses, but I worry that I will roll on him with my still obese body or hit him with my now five pound free weights! I am up to fifty reps for each exercise now and switched to the five pound weights a couple of days ago I am so proud to say!
He does listen when Hubby is in a seat and I say go by daddy, yes Hubby is daddy and I am mommy, remember it’s not MY fault I don’t have grandbabies to have them call us granny and pop-pop! LOL!

My obsession is not with a too severe problem I think many have asked me to play those Facebook games and I have said sorry I don’t do those games… but in truth I am a DOMINOES junky and yes it is online on Yahoo! I am so embarrassed with that confession! LOL!
That one small obsession of mine comes and goes but today from sheer boredom I found myself playing for hours and when Hubby questioned me about what we needed at the grocery for him to pick up I felt he made me lose the game I was playing because he distracted me! Scary! I will try to not be so nasty or at least keep my thoughts to myself and not play so long for I even got myself homemade lemonade during waiting for the other person to go!
I have tamed myself from the evil doings of that fixation, but I must admit I am amazed how it is set up for one to win and one to lose at different intervals… there have been days where I would win, win, win and then others that I would lose, lose, lose… just the law of averages or the way the bones are shuffled, not unlike a card game in that fact for that I am sure.
Keeping our minds busy and multiples of fives helps with my math skills, huh?
Nah, too easy, I think we learned those five times tables in first grade or there about, right?
Surprisingly though you will be shocked at how many don’t seem to know them.
The best part I found is meeting people from all over the world there; bet you didn’t know that almost every country knows how to play dominoes? Sure you did.
I can do without the ones who rather talk more than play; some seem to be there for nothing more than have socialization but I truly love the game and the faster the better. I seem to have no patience for slow people either; another flaw!
So come and play you might find me there, but not for too many hours since today I found out that I better cut back; since it can become habitual!

On that silly note of switching out one obsession, food, for another time consumer; I would like to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to all please count those blessings and kindly share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
