I am a sad panda.
I comfort buy. It's like comfort eating, but with buying stuff (though I comfort eat too, stupid Moon in Taurus). Dad's wife calls it 'retail therapy.' Hub has teased me quite a lot in the past about my eBay habit, and I know we're not made of money, and the gods know I don't need any more stuff, especially jewelry. I've been pretty good these last few months too, I think. But there was this really amazing necklace that I wanted to get on eBay. It was a 10 day auction and it sat un-bid upon for 9 1/2 days. So with 10 hours left, I bid on it. I guess someone was watching it too, because they bid on it within hours of my bidding, and bid it up over what I think I can reasonably pay for schwag I don't need. But it sure was a beautiful piece of jewelry. Waaaah.
