How much shopping can a girl do?
You know that bit in "Fight Club" where Edward Norton glances around his apartment and automagically all the product names and prices from IKEA pop up on the furniture? I'm not saying I'm that bad, but I have been known to purchase one or two things from a store rhyming with Nottery Larn.
Once you make this mistake of buying something through a catalogue, you are inindated with crap for the rest of your life. Suddenly, you're considering patio furniture when you don't have a patio. Considering new throw pillows for your couch, which, by the way, would love to be replaced by the ensemble on page 96 - you know, the one with the slipcovers.
My mailbox is filled to the brim daily with "summer inpirations" and "solutions for small living spaces".
If these people gave a damn about my small living space, they'd stop sending me piles or crap that I just have to recycle anyway.
Which brings me to the companies who send me catalogues and e-mails. I would like you to take a look at my inbox for April. How many friggen sports bras does a girl need? Don't they know I hate any activity that makes my boobs bounce? Maybe if I cancelled my online subscription to women's health magazine they'd stop thinking i'm like, active.

I'm so with you on this one. Not only do I get 3-8 hardcopy catalogs per day, the majority of which from companies I've not bought from nor ever heard of ("Mountain Rose Herbs"? Seriously?!) but I also get at least 3 emails a week from my best friend telling me of sportsbra sales! ;)

The only time i ever looked forward to a catalog was when my sister's victoria's secret came in. Oh man talk about a fire sale in my pants.
Was that inappropriate?
