january 4th and I haven't been shopping. wouldn't have anyway so nothing new there. In truth, I don't "go" shopping. I have always been irritated beyond belief by all things shop-y. the heat, the smug looks, the smarmy approaches, the tiny changing rooms, the other people.... no, for me it was the internet that got me going....starting with Net a porter and progressing to , well, almost anything. I would delight in finding bizarre and ridiculous sites selling stuff, any stuff. From leaf composting bags to pretty hair clips. clothes were the worst though, and the most expensive. the anticipation of the arrival of the box form DHL becomes wierdly exciting... and I can always send it back, right? only I don't. I put it in the cupboard and hope I'll wear it while knowing I won't.

crazy or what?

so glad this is over.
