Cheryl,
Well let's just say that my wife is a shop-a-holic. She's got hundreds and hundreds of garments, and an unlimited amount of shoes, boots, sandles, belts, purses, you name it. I went through our walk in closet one time and pulled atleast 20 items that still had price tags on them.
Anyways... her way of telling me that she needs to go shopping is by standing in from of the mirror for twenty minutes and says.... "I don't like the way these shirts fit me anymore...." And for some reason that's always around her birthday or Christmas.
She does the same thing when she feels she needs a new car. She starts to complain about how rough the car rides now, and how unconfurtable she feels in it now.
Let's just say that she went from a 2002 Camaro, to a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT, to a 2004 Honda Accord 2DR with a navigation system, to a 2004 Mustang GT Convertible, and now drives a 2004 Nissan Maxima LS.
So trust me... she's got her ways of telling me when she's wants something too... and of course I fall into the same guilt trip and give in to her.
And of course I've got to spoil my darling....right?
Afterall, it goes both ways....
