Internet Window Shopping

My girlfriend Yessy sighs when she calls me and I tell her that I am doing "it" but I think internet shopping is a very useful method to curb my obsessive shopping urges. When I feel the need to spend but don't have the cash to back it up, I hit all my favorite internet shops: Neiman's, Nordies, etc. and fill my shopping cart to my heart's desire. When I am done, I once more review the items in my cart. Then I hover the arrow above the "empty shopping cart" icon and slowly release the button on the mouse. Disaster averted.

If I happen to come across something I can absolutely not do without, I use my emergency MasterCard (which my parents still pay for). Emergency, in my eyes, has a very loose meaning, ranging from a tow for my car to a blow out, unbeatable, up to 75% off clothes, shoes and/or cosmetics sale.




Emergency in my Dad's lexicon is very different. Usually he only pays for the AAA costs and kicks back the rest of shit for me to take care of.
