Someone I love is addicted to OSH. She makes stealth trips to this hardware store when I’m not around. Sunday mornings. Saturday at lunch. During the week when I can’t tell. Sometimes I don’t even know when she gets there. All I know is that when I get home there are work gloves, paint, and yellow CAUTION tape strewn all over the place.
I don’t mind the addiction, but it amuses me.
Who gets up and first thing thinks, “Gee, we need sealer for the back patio?”
I don’t.
Who reads the Sunday L.A. Times and finds the most interesting piece to be the “10% off anything you can stuff in this bag on Sunday” ad?
I don’t.
But she does. I think she might need help someday. I just hope she doesn’t come looking for me when she needs help painting.





Can I get her to do some work around my place?
She says I should feel lucky that she only flirts with visits to The Container Store, because a full blown addiction to that would be much more expensive.
I find this perfectly normal…..Spring is especially the time of year for projects that require SEVERAL trips to the hardware store…..
