I have a addiction & need to know if anyone experiences the same.

My Hubby is getting so mad at me. I have this thing for Bookstores & I love to read. I go to Booksamillion or Barnes & Nobles every week. Also I subscribe to magazines. I have so many magazines just sitting around but I do read them. Front to back I read them.

Now my Hubby has a issue with Nascar. He has collectibles from all the races he has been to. But to him , this isnt like my collection of magazines. He says his stuff has value. Mine dont. I think he is wrong. I am a writer and I need some creativity to write and reading other magazines helps me with this. Am I wrong? I have been published, worked for a newspaper, won various awards from my writings...but it has no value?

I really think he is wrong about this. I have awards I won on the wall, he has Dale Jr. Now I think Dale Jr is very cute, but David dont have a award for having him on the living room wall.  Every now and then I clear out all the old magazines. But I keep my Writing magazines & my Psychologies magazines & any others I deem fit to keep.

Get this... I bought us a Wii for Christmas. He ragged at me for weeks. I didnt hook the Wii up until last Friday. Well I walked in the back room and what did I see....David boxing on the Wii. Well, I thought he hated it. He sure was playing it. Then wanted me to box with him. I knocked him out three times in one round, he got mad. Then we Bowled. I bowled a strike every time.  He was mad about that too. But I had played my niece's Wii at her house and Im pretty good at it.

Why is everything I do wrong and he is always right? Is it a man thing? I got where I just dont argue with him. I go about my business & my son took me to the bookstores with him over the weekend. No, right now I dont have a car. But I am getting one.

BTY..I love the new Jan issue of Skirt. I am about to read it from front to back. I just got it yesterday. Later guys!

I have a addiction & need to know if anyone experiences the same.

My addiction

My husband says I have an addiction too. I am an avid reader. I get no creative ideas out of it like you, I am not a writer, but I love being transported to another world for just a while. I can do all the things I have always wanted to do or be. I can fly around the world in a balloon or turn into a wolf and run through the woods or a be tragic romantic in some Victorian novel. I am addicted to going into a bookstore and flipping through the different choices to find that perfect story to entertain me for a while. I love it! And hey there are much worse things to be addicted to!

haha Let the poor guy win sometimes...

Maybe you should use your press connections to arrange for him to take a spin in a real race car around a local track... that fella seems to need some stroking! Yes, I would feel antagonized that he doesn't encourage your passion, but that may just start with his own insecurity. Encourage his passion and maybe he'll get a clue that he should do the same for you... :) "Trust Life's unfolding..."

Let him win

We dont live near a race track. His nephew lives in NC & works for a Nascar driver. Maybe I could try something with that. I dont think anything will change his attitude about reading. He said its for people who have nothing better to do with their time.

I feel your pain!

RETRO REVA 
My husband  wasn't "us" to de-junk our house. what he really means is "get rid of all those clothes". meanwhile, his guitars/music/etc. is everywhere!  I also have a habit of creating a nest around my chair, which is a neat pile of my necessities, but he is physically unable to reposition the pillows and throws on the couch when he gets up. So, if it helps , i feel your pain. maybe that's why we were given more grace and endurance than our counterparts ;)
