But I need it...
17 June 2010
At Costco yesterday (I’m amazed by how many Costco related posts I wind up writing. Does this mean I can claim my membership as a business expense?) I found myself totally taken with a set of mixing bowls. I stood there for a minute thinking, “Is there a way I can justify more mixing bowls?” because the thing is, I already have more than any one person needs. I have 12 in various sizes and materials. 12 is plenty for any girl.
But there’s something about pretty mixing bowls that always makes me have to stop and decide once again that I don’t need any more.
I thought about this during the rest of my Costco trip and realized that I can think of three other things I’m like this with:
1. Recipes. I seriously do not need more recipes. I have a 3 1/2 inch binder full of recipes I’d like to try. I’ve pulled them out of various magazines and the Food Network web site. (Typing this actually triggered that I was watched a couple shows on there the other day, and that I needed to hop on there and print off that yummy looking Korean Barbecue recipe…)
2. Coffee pots. They tend to be pricey, so I only have three. My daily use pot, a French Press, and a stove top Espresso maker. Bodum makes this awesome looking vacuum pot, but if I’m going to spend $60 on something coffee-related, it’ll be a new grinder. (Although when I looked up the link for the vacuum pot, I also saw this thermal coffee press that looks pretty sweet…)
3. Books. Which is kinda obvious, but deserves to be listed regardless. I have so many books, and yet it’s impossible to resist getting just one or two more… Especially if I’m in Half Price Bookstore. For now, I steer clear. Once we get another bookshelf, however…
Do you have items you gravitate to as well?
Books, yes, of course. And little black dresses. Or cute tops.
Thinking about this brings home that you’re at heart a foodie, and I’m apparently a closet fashionista. (Ha ha. Closet. I’m a riot.)
