The Smallest Things Amuse Me…
A few days ago I bought a paper shredder. Since then I have been a shredding fool.Â
Junk mail? Check.Â
Out of date credit cards? Check.Â
M&M wrappers? Check.Â
Business cards with the wrong web address which could just as easily be tossed into the trash without being shredded? Check.Â
There is something so satisfying about hearing that baby chew through the paper and the whole while, I sit and grin like a fool. Then I start looking for other stuff to shred.
Clearly I need help, or some other new form of enterainment.

M&M wrappers?
I hate to shred cause I hate clearing the shredded paper out of the bin.

I obviously need a bigger, badder shredder. Mine whines if I put two sheets through at a time, much less card stock or credit cards. Hmm… time to shop!

Either you need to get out more or I need to buy a shredder and see what all the excitement’s about.

Oh, I love shredding. There’s a definate sense of accomplishment when you see that pile.

All kidding aside, with identify theft these days, you can never be too careful. When I get those offers for credit cards, I always shred them up. Of course my brother laughs at me, but that’s okay, I have peace of mind on this matter. Have a wonderful Thursday and keep that shredder going….

Because we usually have a fire going, I burn everything. Something very satisfying about tossing stuff into the fire and watching it flame …

Addicted to shredding has got to be better than being addicted to drugs……..right?

Jen, if only I could shed the pounds put on from the M&M’s as I could the wrapper.
Andrea, you *do* need a bigger, badder shredder. Mine will shred up to 8 pages at a time.
Marilyn, you should definitely buy a shredder.
Kimberly, you hit the nail on the head. It’s very satisfying, lol.
Ginger, that’s part of the reason I got it. No one is going to be stealing my identity from my trash.
Jill, I like burning things, too. We’ve got a chimenea on the deck that gets a lot of use.
Maria, addicted to shredding is definitely better than addicted to drugs.
