Someone's got a fetish!

Ok, I'm the first person to admit it..there must be a support group for this type of thing.. I have a thread addiction, fetish, obsession, whatever! I did a quick count of how much thread I actually own lastnight. I was shocked with the results. After 211 spools, I stopped counting. I was afraid to go on. I just knew it wouldn't be good. Yes, I know, I have no excuse now that I can't finish a project because I don't have the right color thread, it's virtually impossible! Some of it was given to me, some of it pilfered from sewing boxes at mom's, but most of it was purchased at low, low prices from work(when it's .10 a spool, you have to stock up, at least that's what I tell myself). And for those of you who think I'm kidding, here's the proof!

I am however, seeking help for this addiction.. this being the current way of organizing it...

This being the future organization of my thread.

It's more compact, semi-light proof, to stop fading, and it actually holds more than the plastic tubs from Ikea. Next, I just have to find a place to put it. I'm thinking of trying to mount it on a wall someplace.

In other news... I decided to try to kill myself this week, by riding my bike from one end of the city, to the other end of the city, in 1000 Degree heat. I managed to make it about half way, before turning around. I thought that I would be ok. But the next day, I thought I was going to die. Between the stomach cramps, major headache, and the feeling that death was near, I concluded, that in hell like temperatures, no more bike riding. Now before you start lecturing me(you people know who you are), I feel completely better now, and I promise I won't do it again. Instead, I can stay home in the air conditioning, and sew something, because I have a pretty heavy inventory of thread to use up!
