Magazines

I’m a magazineaholic. I collect magazines at an alarming rate. My husband is quite upset with me whenever I go visit my mother in Canada and come back with months’ worth of my favorite magazines. To the point where I don’t always show him what I come back with.

Here, I subscribe to Cooking Pleasures, Fine Cooking, Gourmet, Yoga Journal, The Writer magazine, and at least 4 more. I also buy the TV Guide every week and some other magazines on a regular basis. That is on top of the two Canadian magazines that I could subscribe to here. Do I have time to read them all? Of course not! Do you? And when I finish one, it is so dog-eared I will never remember what I wanted to keep or send to people I thought would be interested in or come back to.

I have so many magazines, we haven’t even unpacked all the boxes yet because we know that’s what’s in them. But I will not let go. There’s important information in there! Someday I’ll write about some health topic and somewhere in my magazines there is valuable research. Someday I’ll want to make that special recipe that I saw years ago in one of my magazines… In the meantime, they are stacking up, not in any specific order and certainly not by subject.

Which takes me to my point. We’re going to visit my mother for Christmas. I know she keeps magazines for me. She knows I miss home and this keeps me in touch somehow. Plus we're driving so it will be much easier to take them back. Flying costs me a fortune because my suitcase is so magazine heavy. So I ask you. Do I have a problem? Should my family stage an intervention?
