I think I might have a small obsession with candles.

Right now, I have about 5 jar candles, as well as 40 tealights and about 10 pillars burning. If I had more, I would light them. This is actually a nightly thing. Everything feels better when candles are around.:)

1. You sound like the type I'd like to visit.

I simply love candles. I have tons still in storage. If only my stepfather would let me look for them. I love burning candles for any reason and/or no reason. I especially love burning some late at night and while I take a nice long hot bath. It's so rejuvenating and relaxing. You are not alone in your quest to surround yourself with the warmth and beauty of candles. :thumbsup:

5. So do I.

If I could find my lighter I'd spark up a few of mine right now. I found a bad of 100 tealights at Goodwill for $1 a few weeks ago! :woohoo: I was very excited.

6. I like candles. I find them soothing.

I can't have too many going at once because I have young children, but I often have one lit on the kitchen counter.

When I take a bath, I am usually surrounded by several candles. I soak in the tub and read by candlelight.

7. I know I do.

I'm in candle withdrawl because having candles in the dorm, even unlit ones with no evidence of burning is grounds for immediate eviction. And this year, they're actually doing room checks. :cry: And to make it even worse, my cousin sells all these nifty candles that I can't buy because I'd burn them. ;(
