We all Have Our Vices

Each one of us surely has one type of vice or another. Some of us smoke, drink, gamble, watch pornography, are unfaithful to our spouses, spend too much time on the computer, blogging. My favorite vice, I must confess, is usually fostered on December 26th each and every year, but with the age of the internet, I am able to indulge in this unbridled passion, without exercising even a molucue of control on the 25th of December. That vice is shopping.

I love to shop, and more often than not spend more than can be afforded. My passions range from make-up, to perfumes, to clothing, and purses. Now that I am going back into the public work force, my justification for spending as much as I have on the internet is made, and yesterday, it seemed as if there was no end in stopping me. I went to saks.com, neimanmarcus.com, burberry.com, bergdorfgoodman.com and j.crew.com and racked up a bill that would make my husband's blood boil. What can I say: I am addicted to shopping and have very little control in this area. I also am addicted to reading, but this indulgence does not nearly have such a high cost. That being said, I do not smoke, drink, gamble, cheat, or engage in other activities, which may constitute a vice, except for maybe blogging.

Here is the question of the day: What are your vices? Do you think or try to give them up at any time? For me, I do not plan to give up shopping nor, and know it is a lost cause to make any effort to do so.

For those who celebrate, wishing each and every one of you a meaningful and Happy 2nd day of Hanukah.

Thank you for your minds.
