I recently read an article where people were asked what their "Kryptonite" was? For those members that don't know, Kryptonite makes Superman lose his powers and go weak.

The answers ranged from germs, to peanut butter, to golf, to women


For me, I would have to say candles. I have never met a candle I didn't like. I have a closet full of them, but can't resist buying more.

So, what's your Kryptonite?

Shoes, books, beauty products, clothes, underwear and cats!

I asked my mum today how do normal people restrain themselves from just filling their house with cats and shoes and living off pot noodles. She just shot me a withering look and said most people manage quite fine.

in a pile of open toed shoes!
I guess I have a few....

shoes is probably #1....especially if they are cute & on sale, I just can't say no, even if I already have 10 pairs of pink shoes (I swear, no exaggerations)

sunglasses would be #2.... I must have 100 pairs, seriously. But I can't go by a rack without looking to see if there is a pair I gotta have.

my hubby would have to be an important one also. He can get me to do some crazy things, and he knows just how to work me to get me to, say, call nextel to argue with them about his phone bill, pick up lunch for him & his workers while I'm cleaning my house & babysitting 2 kids, go to the bank to cash a check on a Friday while the line is out the door.... he bats those gorgeous baby blues and whispers sweet nothings on the side of my neck....
I go gaga....

Now when it comes to stores....it would be Lerner's (ny and company)...I will always buy a lot of things when I go in there...even if I just pass the store...something draws me in
. They always ask me if I want to open an account...and I always said "That would be a bad idea"

I opened an account at VS, and since I did, I've gotten a lot of gift cards and such from the company - and of course they have boosted my credit limit twice since I've had it.... NOT a good idea!
