How Do You Like To Shop?



I love online shopping. Mainly cause it allows me to be at home and see what I want without any pressure. I do love to shop don't get me wrong, but I shop differently online than I do in a store. I want and crave everything in a store; when I shop online, I feel like I am "window shopping". It must be something about not touching and loving on the item and needing instant gratification. I don't really purchase online because I would then have to wait. I gather ideas of things from online and magazines things, I want, things I desire and put into my fun binder (see right: I created these in the 90's and love them. I have several. I even made one for a friend that was fantastic! I hope she still loves it.) Also, you are able to find really great deals sometimes with online shopping and stuff you wouldn't normally see in the stores, especially not on sale. Many of them if you join, and invite a friend, you receive $10 if they purchase, which is a pretty good deal.Think about if everyone you knew signed up and just bought one thing? Fantastic! $$$ for you! Some of my favorites are Rue La La, Bluefly, Gilt Group (where you get $25), Beyond the Rack and YOOX and for home, One Kings Lane. I am not sure I know that many of the online home furnishings stores, but have a good feeling my friend Shay would know.

If I email you, and you haven't already joined, sign up under me and if you have joined tell your friends to do the same for you. I would like to see what happens!

Let me know what other online shopping sites you like and which you like better online or instore?

Jack and Diane....

I WANT this puppy! It is one of the live auction items at The KidneyTexas luncheon this coming Wednesday, September 8th. I have been wanting a black and white dog, little girl, for sometime now. I want to name her Diane, which I find hilarious and have had many crying, peeing, laughing fits with my friend Nikol on this very subject, so that I will have Jack and Diane, from the John Cougar Mellencamp song. "little diddy bout jack and diane" She is just too precious. I can't stand it. I hope she goes to an excellent home. I may be searching for a look-a-like Mi-Ki! Are you kidding? Those eyes, and little round ears. and that sweet little mouth and nose! so yummy, needs a kiss! I hope it raises tons of money for KidneyTexas and the programs it serves in the fight for kidney disease.
