My name is Marilyn and I am an addict.
Before you all jump in with your suggestions for my recovery program, let me explain that my addiction is confined to my home.
Here is my problem. I have become addicted to digging up my weeds. (My dad is saying, where was that addiction 40 yrs ago). I finished with the census a week ago Monday and Tues I woke up at 7 AM. I got up, walked the dogs and then dug up weeds while it was still cool outside. Same thing Wed. I filled up 2 garbage cans and made a huge improvement in my alleged flower beds. Thur same thing. We were going to Utah Fri so I wasn't going to do any weeds but after I walked the dogs I just had to do a few weeds that turned into 1 1/2 hrs. Then I was away from home for 2 days and I was fine. We got in real late Sunday night. I wasn't going to do weeds Mon but I got up and it was raining and cool and I just couldn't control myself. I even worked about twice as long as usual outside. By now my front yard was looking pretty good. The better it was looking, the more I wanted it done. I told myself that I was not totally out of control if I didn't buy more garbage cans. I have piles of weeds because all the garbage cans are full, but I didn't buy more garbage cans. I do plan to take a couple days off, I'll see if I can control myself. I think that over-doing myself the last couple of days is helping to cure me.

When I get like that Wendy just asked me if I am doing my therapy. Maybe with all the census excitement you do need some therapy, more than you thought!
I say that is a good addiction! If you need a 'fix' after you get all you can there....come on over to Fallon! I have an acre of property that will get you 'high'! :-)
