Things That Make You Go, "Hmmm"

What's the online equivalent to perpetual window shopping?

Whatever it is, I think I've got it. I can't stop myself from surfing gap.com for shirts, ae.com for my favorite kind of jeans, and jcp.com for everything else. What is this terrible addiction?

Well, it might be more terrible if I were actually buying things. Instead, I torment myself by looking at things and then never making up my mind about what I want to get and then I never actually buy anything only to start all over the next day. This is awful. Downright heinous. Who does this?

In addition, it isn't just things for the current wardrobe. It is furniture for our house, it is cabinets to remodel the kitchen, it is shoes for the wedding. It is paper for the wedding or fabric for quilts. But no matter what you do, do you ever buy yardage online? Of course not! You'd never know exactly what you are buying. And I can't buy furniture without sittin my tush on a chair to see if it is really that comfy or shaking the dining room table set to see if it is sturdy. You can't just look at stuff and assume you'll like it online, YET all I do is sit and surf to find other random crap that I would never buy to begin with. Stupid.

What is my deal anyway? I even sit and think about all the different things I could buy with coupons. This is the Embarassing Admission Part Two: I have a weird and curious interest in coupons. This is a recent phenomenon for me, but it kinda freaks me out. I just can't stop thinking about going shopping with coupons. I have a secret stash in my pocket right now.

Weird.
