Frivolous Virtual Spending
I love shopping online. You can look around, fill your shopping cart with tons of stuff a million times and not have to endure the constant "Everything ok?" "Anything I can help you with?" "These are the sales we have today: blablabla". There's not even the stern look from the shop assistant after all her atteempts failed. The thing is, I don't buy anything. I just go shopping. Get it?
Here are a few things that I "bought" recently:
* A cute insulating blanket for soon-to-be-mobile 7-month-olds.
* Omygod, this one's even cuter!
* A super-fun toy, supposedly just for babies.
* The funnest rocker ever.
* But maybe I'm more prissy and stick with something classic.
* Speaking of prissy, every girl needs something like this.
* Or something like this.
* "Mom I'm sick of all the girly stuff."
* "I don't care. You are my daughter and you wear what I want. Your time will come when you get your own daughter!"
* Another toy we will fight over.
* Oh, I would've died for something like this as a child. Or maybe the monkey? Or the bear?
* This is a great alternative to a rocker. Not that I would get rid of my rocker, but for the next baby... ahh (imagine me - a few years down the road (am not considering pregnancy right now) - in my huge house with the dark hardwood floors, beautiful new sleepy baby on my brand new cheese, uh, chaise)
* So, anyway, if I do get pregnant, then Veronika and I totally need this.
* And since I'm going to be filthy rich, my baby will need the best stroller out there.
And when I satisfy my adquisitive lust, I just close the windows, and go about my business, my bank account untouched.

LOL, that is what I do too. But when I do buy something, I love looking forward to waiting for the mail.
you know, if i don't close the window, lots of time my next step is ebay. now and then i find something and bid... and you know excitement follows, i win and ... package on the way. i love ebay. and to think 5 years ago i could not figure out how ebay works. i remember lincoln explaining it to me 2,3 times in a row and me just giving him a blank stare. ;)
lol! I love online shopping as well. That plush rocker was adorable!
My little guy has those frog rain boots, although he usually just hangs out with them on at home, in his underwear. :o)
