I’ve been tagged by Matt over at One Million and Beyond to spill the beans and let you all know more about my obsessions. So here they are.
Checking my Site Stats – I like checking my Sitemeter stats, not necessarily to see how many visitors I’ve had, but to see where everyone is clicking to leave my site. I like seeing that the things I’ve posted here are useful and interesting.
Reading Other Blogs – I spend way too much time reading other blogs and keeping up with things. I’m getting better at remembering to note articles I liked to then highlight on here but often times I still forget to do that.
Working With Quicken – My Quicken file is pretty darn detailed and I like to keep track of all money to the penny. If I was the only one making purchases and keeping receipts, I would probably even track soda pop can deposits as a separate account. But, I’m holding myself back from trying to do that.
Big Trucks – Here’s where the tomboy in me surfaces. Some people’s heads turn on a dime when an attractive person walks by. My head turns when a truck with a four-inch lift drives by. I’ve never had a big truck, but someday I hope to.
Some Old Obsessions – Trying to come up with this list was pretty difficult. A lot of things I would consider being obsessed over are no longer obsesssions. So, I thought I would mention a couple of my old ones: collecting bald eagle figures and items with bald eagles on them, playing Tetris and collecting McDonald’s Happy Meal toys.
Now it’s my turn to tag a few bloggers:
Basil and Bianca Bizzaro at The Bizzaro World Debt Elimination Freak Show
Jeremy at Generation X Finance
Henry at Binary Dollar
Lazy Man at Lazy Man and Money
JW at Need to Be Debt Free
It so timely that you write about obessions because, only a few days ago my wife and I got into a really lengthy debate about me being obessed with reading blogs and balancing our budget.
I also like reading other blogs and working with our budget. (At least I don’t feel alone anymore ). Thanks.
Also, thank you for tagging our blog.
I really like how exact you are about all your figures. That is something I am slowing starting to develop. It’s not easy to change habits overnite!
I never even knew there were debt related blogs like this until I finally came clean with my debt problems myself, back in Jan. I’ve appreciated reading your blog since then.
Anyway, I’m really obsessed with battlestar galactica! And rockstars…I really like rockstar energy drinks. Weird, I know. But they keep me going sometime!

Those stats are evil! I’ve slowly weaned myself from checking them on the hour now I only check a couple times a day.
And there is nothing wrong with a tetris obsession! *grin* I had this one too
