Open up and say, "Ahh."

Hey folks, Dr. Feelgood here, AKA scarbie doll, AKA Nadine.

I am an obsessaholic. I get fixated on something and then I can't stop thinking about it. It's a problem.

So when MotherBumper offered me a space to turn my problem into a positive, I said, "Sure!" Maybe my excitement was a longing to work within a team -- blogging is a fairly solitary experience in some ways. You purge your thoughts on the screen, sometimes to thousands, and only get a handful of reassuring comments back. Or perhaps it was that harpoon that MB was holding to my head...

Anyway, here I am. I'll be talking about all things obsession, from products, to books, to blogs and just about everything pop culture. Sometimes I will humiliate my children. It's fun.

Here's what I won't do. I will never slog anything I am not totally obsessed with. If I rant about something that I got to have, use, try, read or watch for free, I will make that VERY clear. I am not paid to be psychotic about stretch mark oils and such. I just happen to be somewhat insane to the point of over-researching, bothering my even more research-obsessed friend Marla, or using my family as guinea pigs. You need me. You don't know it yet, but you do.

Think of this space as a Stuff White People Like for parents, written by an olive-skinned Torontonian mom of two. You'll learn more about me as we go along.

Are you ready for your first dose?

Obsess away, unsolicited love of cool things is an internet virtue.

And for the record it was a machete (balancing a harpoon with my vertical challenge is darn near impossible).

ready and (can't) waiting.
