As my shopping sabbatical with Corrin winds down, I've started reflecting on what other passions of mine have helped to fill the void that my clothing-shoes-jewelry craze has left behind.
- Clothing for my son - he's always been the best dressed toddler for miles around, and instead of buying myself clothes, I've been buying him more clothes than he can ever wear. I think a 2nd kiddo may be necessary to justify the clothing expenses alone.
- Music - my iPod library has grown quite a bit over the past few months. My new addiction to Rihanna and return to old-school delights such as Paula Abdul have kept my iTunes account very busy.
- Books - even though I'm still behind on my 2012 Reading Challenge, it hasn't stopped me from buying books by the armful...well, Kindle-full. To make myself feel better, I will tell you that most of these were free downloads...but not all of them. Anyone know if you can create folders on the Kindle? I think I need monthly folders to organize and plan what I'm going to read and when I'm going to read it. I've been inspired by Emily Temple over at Flavorwire to get organized:
