It's Time To Come Clean (My New Addiction)

This past week I spent a wonderful four days in Michigan hanging with some family and dear friends. I had an unexpected visit from a former co-worker and childhood friend, I went to the theatre , went out to dinner, was treated out to breakfast, and stayed in and watched one of my all-time favorite Jerry Lewis’ films
with my Sisters and Nieces. As wonderful as all these things were, there were al...so events taking place that some of you may view as dark and corrupting. Some may even think down right evil, activities that I participated in willingly. I was seduced, by all the talk from friends and family members. I was told to try it, just once. I couldn’t say no even though I wasn’t interested. I gave in to the pressure and before I knew it I was being given nightly doses of this substance. Each night I would be asked, “Do you want more”? and each night I would reluctantly reply “sure, why not?” until one night I started asking for it myself. I couldn’t wait to have it. I would stay up until the early hours getting my fill, because I knew that when I returned home it might be difficult to get. It happened, I was totally and completely addicted and I liked it. I now know it’s all over for me. I should have just said no, should have run screaming in the other direction, but now it’s too late. I’m hooked on that mind blowing drug and I like it.
You may be asking yourself, what is she talking about? What is this powerful thing that has gotten a hold of her? What is this thing that has her up at all hours of the night and the early morn wanting more?
Ahh my Facebook friends, trust me when I tell you that many of you too have been drawn in, chained up and taken hostage by this powerful drug. You too have been observed talking about when and where you will get your next fix, and you too have experienced the rush, and excitement from a powerful dose of it all the while anticipating that next hit.
Yes, I am talking about that one thing that has many of you folks glued to your flat screens, lap tops, I Pads and smart phones every Thursday at 10pm (est). I am talking about that TV show “Scandal” YES!!
I said it!! I’m hooked. There I’ve said it again. I hate to admit it, but it has to be known. And the one who got me addicted?, the one who was my pusher?, my dealer?, was the one I trusted most?, was my own TWIN SISTER!!! 
I know, I know, shocking isn’t it? Each night she treated me to “a Scandal thon” where we would watch episode after episode until I was fully “caught up”. She knew what she was doing all along. Oh she was a sly one that “Chilly Quilly”, but I can’t hate her can I. Now we have something new that we share in common. Something to chat on the phone about for hours and hours (like we need a reason) And now I must anticipate, or should I say dread, the day when the season will end with yet another cliff hanger leaving us all feigning for more. Thanks a lot Quill!!!
Some of you know what I’m talking about, go on admit it. It’s time to come clean.
