Hello, my name is Kelly ...
... and I'm a playing card addict.
You know how sometimes you get a compulsion to buy something even if you already have more than you need at home? With most chicks it's shoes or purses. With me it's playing cards. It started on my trip to Vegas during college and continues today. What can I say? They're relatively cheap, useful, and they're handy to have around. I have a deck of cards at work and in my car and I pack a deck or two when I travel. Who knows when a spur-of-the-moment game of Go Fish or Eucre will break out? It's best to be prepared. My collection includes a deck featuring Magic: the Gathering artwork, Cesaer's Palace cards, pirate cards, and clear plastic cards. My lastest addition is a deck of Black Tiger cards. If you don't want to follow the linky, these cards feature a black background and white or red pips instead of the usual white background and black or red pips. I think they're usually used by magicians, but personally I can't wait to play a game of rummy with them.
I think my next addition will be a set of lime-green or pink cards. Someone hold me back ...
