It's a sickness, I know.

And my hubby deeply resents the fact that my work gives me a certain amount of money each year which I am to spend on "professional development," and since I have risen to the level (after 20+ years of working my ass off, I might add) where people more often pay me to go to events and workshops where I can help others get professionally developed and maybe develop a little professionally on my own (usually in the hotel bar--no, really, it's all networking! And we're geeky enough that we're usually debating liturgical principals and psalm translations over drinks anyhow!) and all, the only thing left to spend the $$$ is....TOYS!!!!
