I think I have an addiction

A long time ago I posted a picture of the pepper mills I had collected (May 1, 2009). I had 12 mills at the time. I am happy to report I now have 55. Crazy huh?!? I love them. The majority of them come from second hand stores that my sister-in-law, Sarah or my parents find for me. The latest and greatest is to the left of the tall black one. Krista and Yolanda sent it to me for my birthday. It is always fun to see the stares and reactions from new comers into our house. I always wonder if they are intrigued by all the pepper mills, because why would anybody collect pepper mills, or are they amazed at how red-neck I am for displaying them on our entertainment center because I have no other place suitable for them. The amazing thing to me is that of the almost 8 years I have been collecting them, I only have one duplicate and you wouldn't know it was a duplicate because they are different colors. What can I say, I have an addiction. What's worse is that I have only one that I use. If someone really special, say President Monson, were to come visit me, I would let the guest of honor choose the pepper mill they would like to use. So pretty much that is never going to happen, so they will continue to sit pretty on display.
