eBay. And other forms of shopping online.

And purses.

There is something "comforting" about Barnes & Noble I must admit. I read a lot, and so maybe that is why I like the place. Anytime I dream up some new scheme or discover some new hobby- I will always go there to check out the book selection even though what I need is probably on Amazon instead.

Half Price Books is great too and one of the few local treasure troves left in the age of Amazon, eBay and Abebooks. Not sure if that is a national thing or just Texas- but they sell surplus new books at half price and they sell used books incredibly cheap.

Just yesterday I was in one here in Austin and I found a gigantic vintage 1960s book on Rembrandt with over 730 pictures of his work- 80 of them color plates.

$30!

Sleeping in my contacts.
Going through yellow lights on occasion.
Eating too much greasy foods.
Leaving carts in the parking lot.
Lying in church.
Lying on my resume.
Accidently cursing in front of kids.
Sticking gum under tables/chairs.

amazon.com (Books, CDs-especially Karaoke CDs)

DD Iced Coffee and bagels

Purple sweaters...I see a cute one on the rack, and I have to have it. Nevermind that I have about 15 at home, this one is a different shade, or has a different neckline, or is softer...I'll find any excuse.

Ditto on whoever said sushi

Shoes. If they're my size and on clearance, I'll buy them. I end up wearing them once or twice and then giving them away. Unless they're very comfortable.

Ditto on Disney. I'm seriously going through withdrawls because I haven't been in 3 weeks. We don't belong to the Vacation Club yet though... :( I'm serioulsy working on hubby about that! :p ) I'm particularly addicted to Typhoon Lagoon.

I'm also love to shop online, and I have a secret soap opera addiction *LOL*. Ok so it's not that secret..... ;)

Office supply stores, specifically pens and paper. I buy lots of each too:p
James Avery jewelry
Vera Bradley stuff in Java Blue
Needlepoint, although this year I have been very good in not spending so much

Goodwill---I must visit every single one in every town I set foot in.
ReStore---Goodwill's furniture counterpart. I love it and browse almost every weekend fantasizing about what I could rehome once I no longer have a roommate.

BigLots, Ross, TjMaxx---any discount/cheap store....yeah

I am a sucker for thrifting. It satisfies my need to shope without putting a huge dent in my wallet.

:rolleyes: And, it makes me happy

ZTAMich 10-10-2007 07:13 PM

Loehmann's. I shop there waaaay too much.

Scrapbooking aisles at the craft store. I just found the Michael's out in Queens which has me ready to start my winter project ASAP.

Pepperidge Farm Cookies. Doesn't matter the kind - Milano, Nantucket...YUM.
