Confessions Of An Addict

Yes this blog is about me. I can usually control my addiction but these last three days it got out of hand. I found myself pacing looking for the next fix. It's all I could think about. I even had a dream about it. I went to several suppliers these last three days. One I went to twice for a fix.
It was so bad today I was getting a fix in between jobs. One of my clients made a comment about me seeming to be on a high. I was on an all time high. In fact I found myself racing through my work. I wanted to get the job done so I could take care of my addiction.

On Friday I never felt such a rush. But come Friday night I came crashing down. All my suppliers were out for the night. So I got up early Saturday morning and found the first one I could. But his goods were not as good as the supplier I went to on Friday. Sure I got a rush but it was not good enough. So I went back to the supplier I went to on Friday.

I am not always like this. I can control it. Yeah, I know some of you are going to say that is what all addicts say. But, I can control it! I just did not want to. I love the adrenaline. My heart races and I actually feel more in control.

In the last three days I have spent about $1000.00 on my addiction. I am a Clearance Sale Addict. My name is Robinette and I am a Clearance Sale Addict. I found 75% off sales and spent $1000.00 for $4000.00 worth of merchandise.
I am such a Clearance Sale Junkie I even made up a song I sang in my head all day. It is to the tune of OH CHRISTMAS TREE. Alright I know but humor me ok? Just sing it and see how good it feels.

My name Robinette and I am a Clearance Sale Junkie. I look everywhere for a fix this time of the year. I have all 7 grand kids birthday presents for next year. I have some of my Christmas shopping done for next year. I even have a room I keep locked to stash my goods in.

I am such a junkie I keep a tally of my savings throughout the year. I smirk and laugh when my family buys presents for regular prices. I will never do that unless I am desperate. I want more for less. So this week I will continue to stalk my local suppliers until they give it up for 90% off. Which most will have a couple of aisles marked down 90% this week.

((Scratches My Arms)) Why do stores close at 8pm on Sundays? This means I can not get my next fix until tomorrow morning. Can you believe one of our local department stores puts their winter clothes on clearance sale tomorrow? There are a few more months of winter left.

My grandchildren are learning fast. I taught them how to get more bang for their buck. They clearance sale shop also. I showed them where all the clearance racks and shelves are in our local stores. I am so proud of them. The 7 year old called me today to let me know she got a $15.00 Hannah Montana Barbie for $3.00! I was so proud I wanted to reach through the phone and pinch her cheeks.

I am coming down from my Clearance Sale High now. So I will wish each of you a wonderful evening. Sweet Dreams with visions of Clearance Sale Signs dancing through your heads.
Much Love & Respect
