I absolutely despise shopping, always have despised shopping. However, a few years back I encountered ‘online shopping’ which has changed my perspective on shopping. Online shopping turned what once had been a hated endeavor into what has become for me an addiction and most loved way to spend my time.
My spontaneous personality joined with ‘online shopping’ is a recipe for disaster. Disaster if nothing else for my finances. I can spend hours and hours browsing shops without ever leaving my house or changing from bedclothes for that matter. I can sit or lay in the comfort of my home and shop until I’ve had my fill. I can even leave one store to shop another store and return hours or days later to find items I had placed in my cart earlier awaiting my return. The creator of online shopping was absolutely genius and despicable at the same time. Despicable only because my spontaneity for buying is uncontrolled.
I catch clearance and sale items before most people do causing me to feel somewhat better, momentarily at least. My favorite stores’s apps, and there are many, can be easily downloaded onto my device making it even more convenient for me to shop. I tell myself this saves me time so I can be sure to get around to my other duties.
I have found so many wonderful stores from ‘online shopping’. Most would have been better left not found. But, somehow my trusted device knows the kind of places I like and even things I may need making sure to present opportunities for me to visit their store. So many that I now have a tablet just for shopping. How sick is that?
Shopping in person requires time and energy that I just do not have enough of so the cure all?? Hey Google, take me to __________, and in the blink of an eye I am there. Like a genie in a bottle, magic happens and what at one time had been a hated event has now become a most loved one.
Black magic is what I have come to call online shopping. Black magic is magic involving the supposed invocation of evil spirits for evil purposes. My definition of online shopping. Truthfully, I am just not disciplined in this area but calling it black magic puts the blame elsewhere and provides temporary relief for my psyce.
So, until next time, my carts await. Hey, google…
