I admit it. I have a problem. Apple in it's infinite appeal keeps me coming back for more. Pictured here is one newly activated iphone G3, one 16GB living room ipod (gone are the days of the family stereo), one 2004 ipod mini (pinkie pod), one 2005 ipod, one craft room ipod nano (which I will start using to track my running mileage), one Nike Plus kit that hooks up to aforementioned nano, and one adorable little ipod clip-on running pod.** Not pictured here: my beloved imac, Mark's itouch and ipod(s), jack's ipod mini and one very old (circa 2001) imac covered in a flowered plastic case.
I'd like to think that I'm a shopper savvy kind-of girl. I don't buy the latest of anything - unless Apple attaches their name to it. Then I'm sucked into their corporate tractor beam - lured by their minimalist designs and sleek interfaces. They represent all that I want my life to be - simple, sweet, to the point but waayyyyy cool and totally fun.
Do I need all of these devices? Heavens, no! But I do need a phone... and my contract expired with T-Mobile right when the new iphone G3 was introduced. Why by another phone when I can have a computer and a phone all in one little unit? My little clip-on ipod keeps me going on quick runs. My new Nike Plus system will track my running mileage and my pace. It'll be my own personal coach.
Well, crap. Is there a 12 step program for Apple addicts? If there is, keep it to yourself. This is one addiction I'll happily indulge.
What's your poison? Do you have an addiction that grabs you at every turn? Please share. It would be nice to know that I'm not alone.

holy smokes steph...you've got yourself a bag full of "Apple"s.
My biggest addiction is Scrapbook Buttons. I have a jar full of them, but I always need more. I need a bigger jar!
When the kids were little, it was carseats and diaper bags.
i hope you have stock in Apple at least. :)
