on-line shopping

what is it about shopping on-line? is it the convenience, the ability to browse a hundred things in about a minute, not having to deal with other people or waiting in line that makes it so great? maybe...for me though, it's more of a "pre-shopping" experience. i see what stores have on sale, what kind of items they have before i want to get in my car and drive all the way there to only realize that they have nothing i want. just saves a lot of time! right now, the shopaholic that i am, am looking for the perfect sweater. sure, i already have a gazillion of them, but my body seems to keep changing all the time. one year i'll be more slender, the next i feel like my torso has shrunk, etc. last year i think i had lost some weight and felt good about myself. this year, with all the stress and whatnot, have gained a few pounds and do not feel comfortable in any of my clothes. so -- always the great excuse, want to buy some new ones. i know i should probably just wait for christmas, but i never seem to get exactly what i want...my family seriously has the worst taste in clothing! i like to pick out what i want, which to my mother's dismay, "ruins the christmas experience." hey, you'd rather want me to like the present than hate it, right??

hopefully going out to dinner tonight with the roomie...except for the fact she lost a whole wad of cash -- hopefully she found it. it sucks loosing money!!! last night went out to motini's with a friend from work and just enjoyed sipping on a cosmopolitan and gossiping about work and people. yes, i'm such the girly girl...cannot help it.
