I honestly thought I didn't have any collections, and then it turns out I've got about a dozen of them! But none feels like an obsession, that I MUST have. Of course, I already do -- no must about it.<br /><br />But if we're talking what Dr. Pausch taught us should not be called "guilty pleasures," I also must have red polish on my toes and have a standing (ha!) monthly pedicure appointment. But I've never had a manicure and haven't put polish on my fingernails since, I don't know, a slumber party at age 10.<br /><br />I read the Washington Post online and must read "Date Lab." <br /><br />I must wear earrings. I have realized I've forgotten them and gone back home to get them. Stopped to buy a pair once.<br /><br />And yes, dark chocolate and wine, and I still pay by check sometimes, too!<br /><br />Fun post -- thanks, Lori and Hank!Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-58185397866919185142015-07-09T14:39:45.239-04:002015-07-09T14:39:45.239-04:00I agree, Agent Carter rocks!

Love how you can easily move scenes. Love the Characters sheets - as Edith said, easy way to remember physical description (I actually got in trouble on one story because I forgot to check it). Also love the status stamps. It helps me stay focused on what I've done and what is yet to be done.<br /><br />Yes, Hank. We'll have to give you a tutorial.<br /><br />I must also now apologize to Lori.

Hank, we'll give you a tutorial next chance we get (and I pay my bills with paper checks, too). I'm always flipping back and forth to my Series Characters folder (which you can do without leaving the app, of course) to check someone's height or mannerisms or street.
