A Collection Problem

For those of you that know me well, you will know that I have a odd obsession with collecting (or completing) things.  These obsessions are often dangerous and tough on my wallet.  In this particular case, I have started my collection of Pops.  I have always seen these things around, but never was I really interested in owning any.  It was until one day when Vanessa convinced me to get the Thanos and Starlord Pops was when my collecting spark triggered.  While opening and looking at the two recently purchased pops, I suddenly had the urge to own them all.  I wanted all the Avengers characters, and within several months, I achieved my goal haha.  Vanessa also fell for these little figures as she started her collection on Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and Star Wars.  These damn things are all over our rooms now.

For Mother's Day this year, Vanessa and I took my mom to the Huntington Library.  This is a place we have been planning to visit for two years now.  We met a woman outside of the entrance and she offered us one of her tickets because she had a extra!  What a nice way to start the day.  This giant botanical garden offers so much diversity in scenery that it makes a great place for photo shoots.  The Japanese and Chinese gardens were the most scenic and the desert plants were the most interesting.  My mom really enjoyed herself as we often see her sneakily taking some twigs home to grow for herself, haha.
