Yay! It’s Thursday! I’ve come to really look forward to the weekly writing prompts. Hopefully y’all have too! This week’s prompt is:<\/p>\n

What area of your life do you tend to enjoy in excess instead of in moderation?<\/b>
\n

\nWow…tough one. My first reaction was Lego. It’s a bit of a tiny obsession right now as I’ve become aware of my love of the tiny bricks again. When my boys decided they had outgrown them, I didn’t have a good excuse to buy them anymore. There just wasn’t the budget to spoil myself.<\/p>\n

Now that they’re off in college and living their own lives, there still isn’t the budget, but I’ve found a few sets on clearance lately and I’ve fallen in love all over again. I find it relaxing to sit and build. I’m in awe of the people who have come up with the designs that I never could. I envy those with huge collections that are building their own cities or worlds.<\/p>\n

I can’t say though that I enjoy it in excess in the sense that I own a ton of them, but in the way that I enjoy them when I do have them. They’re the happiest little hours of my week except when I’m with the kids or writing. Hopefully the budget opens up a bit soon so I can buy a few more sets…especially since my birthday isn’t until September.<\/p>\n
