What is your current obssession?

Hm, that's a pretty good question. I don't feel like I am obsessed with/about anything right now, but I want to do everything well. I want to play well, work well, generally be successful. . .

My family. I spend most of my time with them. Other than that, I'd say it was Monopoly Tycoon... the wife and I would play it for hours. Also, I'm always obsessed with K-State football. I'm ready for football season!

It's Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I can spend hours playing with my photographs. Right now I'm working on a birth announcement "stitchery" project for a friend at work who had a baby girl last month. I'm very slow at embroidery. I have a kit that I bought years ago that I still haven't started. I scanned in the cover art and the transfer sheet of alphabet letters and numbers to spell the baby's name, birthdate, and birth weight. I'm cutting and pasting parts of the transfer sheet to serve as a guide for my "stitching" of the data. I've played with creating a brush that paints dashed lines (for the backstitching) but when I change directions I get "ladder rungs" instead of stitches that are end-to-end. I am going to clone stamp individual stitches to get the backstitching to look
the way it should. It will take a little while, but my friend will definitely get it long before her
little girl graduates from high school!

Well, I don't know about obsession, but I really like Brighton leather and jewelry. I also recently shelled out some serious cash for kitchen utility knives from Cutco. Things ebb and flow with me.

A couple weeks ago it was scrapbooking, but that didn't last long. Now it's playing cards on Yahoo.com. I find it hard to stop long enough to eat my lunch.
