My name is Lori, and I'm a shopaholic

Just returned from shopping for the perfect outfit for tomorrow. What says "I am over you" to one boy and "Don't you want me to be your wife" to another? Sweater? Pretty scarf?

I'm not quite sure when shopping became my addiction. Granted, there are worse things, but why is it that a new handbag calms my nerves? (Yes, I bought another one today... shame on me!) It gives me a rush. It also calms me. And luckily there was enough money in my checking account to fund my retail fix. One more credit card payment and I'm officially out of debt, save the car payment, student loan, big screen TV, and soon-to-be mortgage.

Perhaps that's why I love Christmas so much. It's a great excuse to shop.

Good lord, woman! Your addiction should be gum. It's a lot less expensive and it isn't too horrible for you or your checking account.
