The itch

We all have something that we get a little bit obsessed and crazy over. And no, I don't mean something normal like "Oh, I'm obsessed with impressing my boss" or "I'm obsessed with making sure my family is happy." No, I mean something that you're probably a bit embarrassed about and might not readily admit. Something that once it gets into your head, you can't stop thinking about it. It's that thing you ponder while you are trying to go to bed and is still on your mind when you wake up. Maybe it's a distraction from the not so niceties in life, or maybe it's just innocent fun.

So here is my confession...I can't stop thinking about planning my daughter's birthday party. There are much more important things going on in my family and my residency, but as soon as everything slows down, my mind drifts and I can't stop thinking about it. I've drafted about a dozen "theme" ideas and i just keep browsing the internet looking for crafty ideas.

It's like an itch I can't scratch. Although, I dare you to do a google search for "party inspiration " and not get drawn in. There are people out there that just create photo collages of party ideas. This person gets PAID to make "inspiration collages" for people. Total insanity.

And now I've realized this post did nothing to quell my desire to keep searching the web...
