I'm a shopaholic. There, I said it. Isn't that step one? This season gives me ample excuses to hide my affliction. Seriously though, I am a true believer in retail therapy. Who needs Prozac when there's Macy's? As I was in the mall last night hunting for the perfect gift, I had some time to reflect on the people in my life. I've always chosen gifts based on an intimate knowledge of the recipient instead of grabbing the first thing I see in the price point I have in mind. As I shopped and shopped, I realized there are a couple of people in my life that are important to me that I really only know on the surface. It made me realize that I should (have) made more of an effort. My point is that life is really too short. Think about the people in your life. Have you taken the time to get to truly get to know them?
On a loosely related note, I'm jazzed this movie is coming out. If you haven't read the Shopaholic book series by Sophie Kinsella, I highly recommend it. I laughed and laughed.

wow, it seems that retail therapy isn't quite cutting it today. :D
Perhaps you're missing the sunlight and short on vitamin d?
It's never too late to get to know someone, you could send out newsy emails, have an e-question/answer session, oh, I know....start by POSTING THE HALLOWEEN PICTURES!
