Nothing fills me with consumer lust like shopping for other people. Does this happen to you? You go to your favorite store to find something for your sister or your best friend or your nieces, and you find (maybe) one thing for them and eleventy-six things for yourself. And of course you're broke (you're always broke), so you can't possibly justify buying stuff for yourself...unless you try REALLY hard.
The above hat was one such purchase. (Thanks, Una, for taking the photo.) My justification? It's a gift. For me. From my daughter! She's six, so we had to use my money. (And thus I instruct my child in the ways of the world.)
So what about you? Do you do this too? Do you just lust, or do you buy? C'mon fess up to Aunty Pam!
