i MIGHT have a problem

there are a few things over which i am ocd. no, i don't have to touch a light switch 4x before entering or leaving a room or lock and unlock a door 7x before leaving my house. i don't have a compulsion to eat bar soap or drink gasoline.* no no, my compulsion of which i'm talking now is much healthier than that. well, except to my pocketbook. you see, i HAVE to buy cars. not to drive. at least not on outside streets. i have to buy the disney/pixar diecast cars. you know the ones? like little hotwheels or matchbox but 3-8x more expensive? those cars. i know it is ridiculous, but once i started buying them for finners, i had to buy ALL of them. no matter where i am, if there is a toy section, i must see if there is a car we don't he doesn't have. and if there is, i have to buy it. mor finally realized a while ago not to question this; the same way i don't question why he has to drive the same route to certain places. you get somewhat used to the quirks of the one you love most, ya know. (even if they still bring you thisclose to crazytown.) this is one of my innocent ocd quirks. so...if any of you happen to spot the following,** i'd sure appreciate you sending it our finn's way, knowing that i will send you the money for it.***

*movies have to be organized alphabetically, books either by author last name or color (depending on my mood at the time of organizing), clothes by color (using roygbiv, of course), silverware in the dishwasher must be placed eating-end up and cups arranged by color on the top rack...you get the idea.
**these aren't the only ones, of course, but the only ones for which i could find pictures on amazon. we're also in the market for the disguise maters--taco truck and dracula specifically--and several others.
***i'm only mostly serious about sending these to us; totally serious about the money part if you take me up on it.

  1. Maybe a slight resistance to the immediate want-to, would not hurt.
