Yanno yer addicted when ....

between2worlds · 05-23-2006, 01:12 PM

According to tracking your bead order isn't due to arrive until tomorrow. But today, when you wake up, you KNOW that you aren't going in to work. You NEED that mental hygene day, you call in and make your excuses.

Then, along about the fourth cup of coffee, you hear the FedEx guy at the door.....

and you know you're addicted cuz at o'dark hundred when you decided to stay home you coulda swore you could feel those beads on the way to your door.

anyone know a good 12 step program?

~b2w
ok, ok so 7 pounds of beads -is- excessive... I'm an addict, I couldn't help myself!

OMG.. I get that way sometimes too!! When folks say.. hey bead me this and that using that one color you have.. and I'm on the outside going.. Ok... and inside going.. man I had some plans for that color... there better be more when they pay me so I can buy some more.. LOL!!!

Between... OH man.. I used to be like that and now that I have easy access to beads I don't have to sit and wait for the fedex pack LOL!

You know you're addicted when there are beads every place you've been. I swear I shed them. I've found them in the holes on my laser table, under my UV-vis, in the office... (Color safety tip: never bead in Nd:YAG glasses. As you sow so shall you rip....) I live in mild fear that my guests are going to find them in their food some day, LOL.

I've had porky quills ride my clothes places as well. Once my grad school adviser sat down on a chair in the lab and then leapt back up. He had sat on a quill (honest, I've never quilled in the lab).

As for shipping, I always get mine shipped to work. Got to be able to fondle the beads as soons as they get are delivered. In fact I've had so many packages shipped to my work address, that Crazy Crow put the company on the mailing list, LOL.

Back when I was in grad school, I'd get stuff shipped to the chem. department receiving in the chemical stock room. If the company would fail to mark package personal, the shipping clerk would open it. I ordered rawhide and deer toes once. I got an agrieved call to: "come get your box of dead things -- now."

I'm too paranoid to have my beads or even my catalogs shipped to work... that plains potowatomi guy down on the third floor might get 'em by mistake...

going through bead withdrawls until this afternoon..

Blackbear · 05-24-2006, 07:39 AM

**Eagle Plumes** · 05-24-2006, 08:52 AM

Singing Otter · 05-24-2006, 10:07 AM

Haha that happens to me all the time! I have this big cushy chair I'll bead in sometimes, and I'll stick the needles in the armrests and forget about them, well they'll sink right in there, and when my hubby sits down and rests his arms he gets stuck lol. I did the same thing in the bedroom too, with the needle in the quilt, and on this chair at the foot of our bed, lol...

I thought this thread was about being addicted to beading...like you know you're addicted when, if you have to go to the bathroom, you'll hold it and hold it and hold it, because you just HAVE to get the end of that row done! lol

Every place I have lived has also been baptized with beads and an occasional needle. Well, the carpet cleaners need a little color in their lives too, hmmmm?

You know when you are addicted when you are only half way through a fully beaded dress yoke and you are already planning the next dress yoke. Somebody slap me please! LOL!

heehee... I get that project drift thing too.... find myself starting something new that I get to work on as a reward for doing so much on the other project(s).

Right now, I've got four things going (one - the beaded elements are half done, none of the garment is made, another - finished cutting and assembling one of a pair of mocs, no beading started but have printed the pattern out and so on)... and I know I'm addicted cuz I caught myself tonight googling fingerweaving patterns thinking.... yeah that would work with beads.

~b2w
if I didn't have at least three things going at once I'd never finish -anything-
