The weekend started out with a glitch. I left work SIIIICK on Friday. I arrived to start my day at 7:30 am and ended up marching out the door at 8:30 am. I had no idea that I was getting a bug and I'm not usually one to parade around the office sharing my sick germs. I honestly felt really good before I went in, leaving was another story entirely.
So I arrived to plop in my bed and sleep and watch daytime television. It was this weird coma of fever delusion and nothing on television that drove me to my latest obsession....QVC. I KNOW! I never thought I would be one of those home shopping junkies who wanted to buy whatever was paraded out in front of me but it was CHRISTMAS DECORATION hour (more like 8 hours) and I sat there like a pervert in a peep show booth wanting everything I saw.
This happened to go on all weekend. I'd catch myself not seeing anything on tv that I cared for and BAM I'd be sitting there watching an hour on battery operated lanterns shaped like snowmen that have a TIMER so you never have to touch an on/off switch again.
I never bought anything. I think I was too afraid to let myself because I'd end up with the entire display and then some. Plus I knew my husband wouldn't be too happy if I spent the money we're saving to go on vacation on decorations and junk from tv, but to me it's just hilarious how easily I fall into the trap when it comes to Christmas. Bedazzled sweatbands, make up, hand bags, etc. doesn't faze me but you show me ANYTHING I can bring out to decorate my house around the holiday season....and I have to use every ounce of self control to change the channel or walk away.
Most people have to put a block or a password on the adult channels on their cable. Unfortunately because of the time of year my husband may have to put a block on QVC because I don't think I can trust myself for too much longer!! :)
