COMMENTS: immaterial

I lost two favorite t-shirts on a ship...

Anyway, I'm surprised. I mean, I knew we both suffered from the same materialistic streak, but mine's not like this -at least I don't think.

That said, I bought a Low German/High German dictionary today and an introduction to Low German.

Butt pants. Why, Beth, why?

They're not butt pants, they're regular underwear, and the word is tiny and near the top on the back. It's still unacceptable that I didn't notice before.

No, your shopping behavior probably doesn't cross over into this sort of territory. I think I get this from Mom, though I'm not sure if she ever feels bad after she buys a lot of things.

Yes, I have felt bad after splurging on clothes, especially if I did it just because I psychologically needed to feel better. If I actually need the clothes, I don't feel bad at all. But if I get a really good bargain, I don't feel bad. I usually don't buy anything unless it is on sale. I don't know why you felt disgusted with yourself. When I spoke with you, you were on your way out to shop. I figured you would buy something. Isn't that why we all go out to shop? So you did what you set out to do. Why are you mad at yourself? You are right. If you wasted all of that time, you probably would have been equally disgusted because you wasted time. Have I made you feel better yet?

I feel like I'm intruding on a Sullivan family therapy session or something. Sheesh, airing all your dirty butt pants on the internet. I'm shocked.
As far as My shopping habits. I'll got out and try stuff on and look around and not buy anything. It doesn't feel like awaste of time it just reinforces my opinion that designers do some horrible things to perfectly good clothing.
