hope your week is going great! It is time for another Random Thursday post. And the topic is this one.
Oh well, there are many things I am addicted to. I have to say that I am obsessed with so many things. I just need more time to do all the things I am addicted to. But let's start.
Books.
I guess that's not a big secret. My dream would be to own a library, thousands of books in a cozy room with high bookshelves, a fireplace and a cozy armchair. Trust me, I would not leave this room anymore. I can spend hours in a bookstore, I love to discover new books and I don't want to be disturbed when I read because this means that I am not "there". I am in my book. Crime novels are my favorite by the way. But all kinds of books are awesome, if it is fiction or non-fiction.
David.
What can I say...he rocks. He makes me happy. That's why I married that guy.
Animals.
I don't want to live without animals. They make me smile, they cheer me up. One day I want to be able to live at a place with lots of rescued animals. Cats, dogs, bunnies, sheep, goats, donkeys, chicken, cows, pigs....They are all welcome.
Flea markets.
I always find something special there. Old books, jewelry, decoration, furniture. For me it is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Beauty products.
TV shows and movies.
So many shows and movies to watch....just not enough time. My all time favorite movie is The Boondock saints. You can read about some of my favorite movies here. I am totally addicted to the show Bones right now but some of my all time favorites are ER, Friends, Castle, The Big Bang Theory, Breaking Bad, Black Books, Freaks and Geeks, New Girl, Sex and the city and many more. I also love cooking shows, documentaries about science and animals, What not to wear....
Tea.
I have always loved tea. Currently I am loving it even more, I rarely drink coffee at the moment. I don't know why but I can't get enough of tea. My favorites at the moment are Moroccan Mint and green tea.
Magazines.
I really love magazines, all kinds of magazines. I read women's magazines, magazines about food, animals, science, fashion, gossip, arts and crafts...I love to drink a cup of tea and look through a magazine. All the articles and pictures inspire me.
DIY.
I love to paint, to knit, to draw, to make jewelry, build my own furniture, decorate the house, take pictures, I want to learn how to sew...it all fascinates me so much.
Food.
I love to eat and to cook and to bake. It is a perfect way to relax. I love to read cooking books and to try out new recipes. I would say that Indian food is my favorite but I also love Thai, Italian, Mexican, Chinese and German Sauerkraut for sure.
Music.
I would not say that I am very musical but I love to play instruments and sing ( I am terrible), I love to listen to my favorite songs over and over, I have been to lots of concerts and every single one of them was special. No matter if it was Trail of Dead in front of a couple of hundred people, Robbie Williams in front of 60000 or the biggest Rock festival in Germany. I just love it. And one day I will learn how to play piano...
Im addicted to books too!!! Someday I hope to have a library in my house filled with all of my books. I refuse to get a kindle or any of those reading tablets because part of the fun of reading is collecting the books for my ever growing library. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, wouldn't that be awesome! i would never leave that place. haha. i really hope i can have my own library someday!
Deleteand i agree, i love to collect books and see them in my shelves! i do have a kindle and i think it is great for traveling but i still buy all the books i love!
Ahhh I understand why you don't want to live without animals. I'm the same way!
ReplyDeletewe have a lot in common, chelsea! :)
Deletenew girl is hilarious right now XD I love all the awkward situations!
ReplyDeleteand that magazine looks super interesting- yay for veggies! (really books in general= love :D)
yeah, i love the characters so much! it is a great show!
Deleteand the magazine is really interesting! lots of awesome articles and recipes!
Man, I agree with almost all of these... and I'm realizing how many obsessions I have! Love Boondock Saints. And feel exactly the same way about books. If I ever become super rich the first thing I'm doing is buying a library. I don't even care if there's a house attached... I just want the library. Floor to ceiling shelves, a fireplace, comfy chairs, big windows.... Yep, I'd never leave!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, as always! xo
thank you, dear! :) we have so much in common! it is awesome. and yeah, i will definitely buy a library too. i could sleep there, eat there, do everything there. it would be awesome!
DeleteI lovelovelove the Boondock Saints! such a great movie!
ReplyDeleteit is my all time favorite!
DeleteYes, yes, and yes to all of this. You and I have so much in common when it comes to TV & books haha. I'm actually planning on tracking down that photo of The Boondock Saints because of how rad it is.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch the latest New Girl episode? That show cracks me up! Thanks a ton for linking up with us this week.

Books and animals and tea, woohoo!! Especially when you get all three at once :)
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah! that is the greatest!
Deleteyour list is almost my own list, saddly no David of my own. & I'm no good with animals. I don't think they like me very much... I do like watching other people cook but I can't cook.
ReplyDeletehope you have a sweet day.

Deletehave a wonderful weekend!
Love the idea about all the animals .... My kitty is a recue an I have never owned a pet before her.... I LOVE that fur ball and don't know how I went without a pet forso long ... Hence why I am addicted to my cat!
ReplyDelete-Simone

ReplyDelete-Simone
I think I could have guessed at least half this list, it's like I know you so well ;)
ReplyDeletehaha. :) i have to admit that i was a little scared that the post would be completely boring because people know all that stuff about me. i am glad you know me so well. :)
DeleteI'm always amazed how similar we are :) All the things you listed above are a huge part of me, too.
ReplyDeleteLove books, I usually do spend hours in a bookstore (my friends keep joking about that) - we should go together one day :)
I always want to be surrounded by animals, I love natural beauty products, good food and music and DIY projects. And you can make me happy with some nice tea and a magazine :D
Wir müssen unbedingt mal was zusammen machen! Ich drück Dich!
we really are similar, beate! i love it! and we should really spend a day in a bookstore together someday. i am sure it would be amazing. i am sure nobody else wants to do that with me. i really hope that we will be able to meet someday soon!
Deleteich freu mich schon dich irgendwann mal zu treffen! ich drueck dich!
Haha. We have pretty much all the same addictions. Although, I'd add coffe to my list. Also, I'm not addicted to your husband, I'm addicted to mine. ;-)
ReplyDeletei have always loved coffee but at the moment i am more into tea, i don't know why. :) and i know your husband rocks too!
Deletei'm addicted to books and coffee. and cinnamon roll and red velvet cake as of late :)
ReplyDeletei watch lots of tv shows too. but i don't get a chance to watch anything for months right now.
hmm, cinnamon roll sounds very delicious! i should bake some!
Deleteand i agree, i need more time for shows too!
ahh I can't get over those cats!
ReplyDeleteseriously went back to that picture three times. would love to get another but I think smudge is too far into being an only child and loves it too much!
thanks for linking up again girlie!
glad you like the picture so much. :) maybe smudge would be fine with a friend, who knows. mine are both spoiled. :)
DeleteHi there! I saw a comment you left on the blog Quick Cheap & Pretty, and thought you might be interested in participating in a book swap we are co-hosting with Martha. You're obviously a book lover (I have amazing deductive skills!), so I thought I'd let you know about it. It should be fun!
ReplyDeleteLori
Yeah, I saw that on Martha's blog and talked to her about it! What an awesome idea! Yeah, I am definitely a huge book lover! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI've been drinking more and more tea lately too. I've always like black tea with milk, but lately I've been starting my day and ending my day with green tea. I'm feeling all sorts of healthy! :)
ReplyDeleteI love black tea too! But currently I am really into mint tea and green tea! Makes me feel healthy too. :)
DeleteOh and book question... do you like YA books? Because I have a book I'd love for you to read and review on your blog if you're interested? xo
ReplyDeleteI am not an expert of YA books but I would love to check it out and write about it! Just let me know how it is called and I will read it! A review would be awesome! Is it for a book club or anything like that?
