Default I just can't help myself!!!

As you all know, I'm really looking forward to my club's trip this weekend to Redlands. I promised myself about a month ago that I wouldn't buy any orchids until I get there and then buy to my heart's content...since then I've purchased 4 new orchids! I see them and my feet automatically go in their direction, and the next thing I know, I'm choosing one and going to the register! It's truly an addiction...and I love it I was at a flea market today that has a few orchid vendors and I bought a new dendrobium even though I'm leaving Saturday morning for an all-out shopping spree! My hubby has adjusted well...when I head to the orchid area, he goes to find a seat to wait it out...LOL

Addiction is a compulsion to repeat a behaviour regardless of its consequences. A person who is addicted is sometimes called an addict.

And what a great addiction it is!

Has anyone been able to convince you to take some pictures of the Redlands event? I am sure many of us who have never been would love to see what we are missing.

Okay, it's official...I'm an addict...and I love it!
As far as pictures, I wasn't really happy with the camera I had which was only about a year old, and I knew this trip is coming up, so I went and got a really cool new camera for my birthday, but I got it early so I could bring it to Redlands with me! I'll post pictures when I get back, probably Monday.
