Yes, I admit it, I am addicted. I can’t stop. I can’t give them up. Please don’t make me.
I’m just kidding, mostly. I like to have fun, and these 10 items are my favorite things. My addictions.
- Starbucks Iced Tea – Yes, I drink from 1 to 3 Vente’s a day. I am not ashamed.
- Milk duds and whoppers – I love milk duds, but they get stuck in my teeth, so I limit my indulging.
- The Bible – I read from the One Year Bible each morning at 5:45 am. It starts the day off right along with my affirmations.
- The Iphone – Why did they invent this. It doesn’t leave my side (like men and their remotes), it’s like a money sucking machine. There must be some subliminal messages coming out of it. – Buy me, play with me, spend time with me, etc. etc.-
- Starbucks Iced Tea – Again with the Starbucks. My kids think they would have more STUFF, if I would stop drinking them. They think it’s all about them.
- Big Bang Theory – Bazinga. Need I say more?
- My two cats – . Aren’t they the cutest babies? My husband says, “who are you talking to, me or the cat?” Sometimes I lie and say, “You of course!“
8. Cupcakes – Obviously, hence Candiland Dessert Company I make cupcakes and hope one day to have a little tearoom with pastries.
9. Dell Taco – 1/2 pound Green Burrito with tomatoes and onions – its my go-to food when I am on the road.
10. The Internet – I am a surfer. I admit it. I also have adhd and go from page to page. I never know where I will end up. I should leave bread crumbs or Cookies to get back home.
Obviously, I am not in therapy for these addictions, but I am not willing to give even one of them up.
Candi Elm is a wife and mom who bakes and secretly dreams of one day being a famous pastry chef, along with striving to be a techie and iced tea connoisseur. She currently lives in Southern California while blogging, baking and raising her children.
I am a baker, I think about it all the time, coming up with new desserts, that is, while spending time with my 3 children. Two of them help me in the kitchen. The oldest doesn't think it's the cool thing to do. I also teach cooking classes including gluten free baking. I like to read and work out in the garden. I finished culinary school a few years ago and volunteer at our church and school. I am busy, busy, busy, but love every minute of it. 
oh man! this was a very cute list. so many of our obsessions are the same… internet, whoppers (or any candy in general…lol), iphone, cupcakes…hahah!
We must think alike. The only one I wish I could give up is starbucks, maybe then I could by an ipad. lol

Loved these addictions =) Mine are: coffee, blogging, pizza, checking facebook and my email atleast 50 times a day.
My recent post Creating Profitable Mommy Blogs
Oh I do love pizza, Yes, the email, I don't really like doing that on my phone, I need an ipad for that. lol
I love it if you! You had me at ice tea, then Starbucks. That is my drink of choice. Great post. Where I live Coffee Bean is closer and more convenient. I love their ice weird huh! The black pacific is my fav! But at heart a Starbucks girl!
Hey Cindee, I have heard about people liking the ice. It's good to hear from you. I can't get into the coffee thing, so I just like it without sugar for a refreshing drink.
Well, I've not dived into the Starbucks ordeal. I am an Internet junkie (I feel like I live on it more than the real world between the blogging business, kids school, and also college, and let's not forget my own personal desires.) I LOVE my iPhone, and have no clue how I survived without it (my family loves me having it as well.)
Cupcakes are always good.
I suggest you not start the starbucks habit, but I do like all the others of yours.
What a cute list! My biggest addictions are: coffee, my morning bible study time, blogging and writing, free ebooks, and of course spending time with my husband and our beagle.
My recent post Spaghetti Leftovers Makeover
Sounds like a great list. Thanks for stopping by.
I can completely and totally relate regarding the internet. I really need some help on that one. I also have to agree on the milk duds and Big Bang Theory as well– What else would I add….hmmm…..my dogs (everyone knows they are my kids along with my actual gave birth to kids), any other chewy candy that gets stuck in your teeth, and ice cold coke. Sigh….I really need to get rid of the soda but well…we all have to have some sort of vice, right?
My recent post Thinking about getting a pet? Visit the shelter!
I wish I knew more people locally that had the same likes. I almost got a dog for Christmas, but I got nervous about how much attention they need and since I am working right now, I wouldnt want them to be alone as a puppy. Maybe over the summer and they would have to like cats.
omg I am a HUGE nerd I love the big bang theory! I even managed to land a media pass (via my blog) for the fan expo this year in my city!! I am so stoked I can't wait
How exciting, will it just be them or a lot of people. I can't wait to hear about it. Some people from work saw a taping this summer. This was before I worked their. I am hoping they go this summer.
Ya im on the internet all the time..like so much sometimes I am wondering what the heck I am doing! Haha..I love the bible @ 545. I am jealous I want to start doing this. I think its wonderful you are. I need to make that one of my new addictions!
My recent post FREE Carnation Breakfast Item @ Kroger
Its a great habit to start. I have tried before, but I am making it a commitment this time. Thanks for visiting.
The internet can be such a great resource…but also a big time waster. One of my goals this year is to limit my time spent on my computer.
That would be great except since I am trying to build my blog, it seems I am on it a lot for that purpose. Thanks for stopping by.
Fun! It's nice to have something to indulge in, isn't it? I love Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte's, but I didn't have a single one this year! But, I also looooooove me some hot cocoa and I have definitely indulged in that!
My recent post Free Pattern Giveaway
I was going to get one of those lattes and I went to Coffee bean with hubby and and it tasted terrible. Thanks for stopping by.
Well, we've got a different list of attachments…but I know what you mean. I would trade Starbucks Iced Tea for chocolate (Lindor anyone?) and iphone for ipad…and probably specify Pinterest for internet and we're done! =)
My recent post The Catholic Toddler Letters of Frankie and Adam
Now, I would give up the iphone for an ipad and I want to concentrate on pinterest and I even took a course, but I don't have the time for it. I am working on balance.
mmm whoppers! I love that you read the Bible daily. I'm trying, but everytime I start to wake up earlier than my kids, they seem to wake up earlier too, lol. Just need to find a good quiet moment in the day.
My recent post Pasta anyone? {Menu Plan}
I know about trying to beat the kids up early, there is nothing better though than having it quiet in the morning. I can actually understand what I am reading then. I tried it at night and there are right by my side.
Love it Candi! I, too, have a Starbucks addiction: http://makingourlifematter.com/five-favorites-on-…
And can I just say those kitties are absolutely adorable!
My recent post Why You Should Play Video Games With Your Kids
Thanks Jen, I know its a money waster, but It's the only thing I spend money on, and my hubby and I enjoy going. Yes, I love the kitties, A friend just lost their house to a fire and they lost their cats, I came home and kissed mine for a while today.
It's a great topic for a post. Made me think of mine. I should always be very careful when I speak of my Coke addiction, as in Coca Cola. Gets people wondering. I am on the wagon now. I am going to give some thought to my own addictions.
How funny, yes, I could see how that would be hard to talk about, there are programs for that. lol
lol what a fun list!! I too am addicted to my iphone. Seriously, how do people live without smartphones? They are so awesome! And I love Big Bang too. My husband is a professor of engineering/chemistry. Sometimes he laughs at things that I so don't understand on that show! My favorite quote from that show is from Penny "I looked into some science classes. How do you not want to kill yourself everyda?." LOL! I looked at my husband with a huge grin when we watched that episode and he just told me to be quiet lol
My recent post {Menu Monday}
Im so glad I found someone who understands that show. My husband cringes when he walks in and its on. He does like it too, but not as much as me.
I have some of the same addictions – iphone (I can't believe I got sucked into it, now I can't get let it go) internet (I sit in front of a computer 8+ hours a day and then use my iphone) and of course cupcakes. If I could make cupcakes as my job that would just be amazing!
Yes, I feel the same. I wish I could just eat cupcakes during the day, but I never have enough left. I think its crazy how much I like to be in front of the computer, but my kids take up a lot of time on it. Thanks for stopping by.
Love your list! I too am addicted to my iPhone
My recent post Charlie the Boxer Pup: 4 Months Old
I just got my phone a few months ago, so I want to learn all about the apps.
Cute list! I love that you get up early every morning – I can't quite get 5:45, but doesn't it make the day go better!
Its a struggle, but I am a morning person. After 7:00am I would be climbing the walls thinking the day was almost over.
You put a smile on my face…I actually chuckled at your addictions. Mine are the 3 C's – Chocolate, cheese & chips….but I'm not addicted…just addicting!!! Love Big Bang Theory too!!!
I do love chocolate and cheese too, thanks for stopping by.
