Now I have already mentioned on this site that I am for the most part devoid of the Shopping Gene. Typically I enlist the help of my friends to traverse the myriad malls and stores where most people procure clothing. It is typically a dreaded task and I require camaraderie to survive it.

Glitterbug is a very different creature indeed. For her, shopping is a sport, nay a religious experience. It is an event to be experienced often and enjoyed well.

So I was pleased to meet up with her after work to find that in my absence she had turned her shopping laser on some of my needs (without me knowing she was going to do so…and without me even having to voice them as ‘needs’). Wow, what a concept; my very own personal shopper. So I get to enjoy fabulous new swanky duds and style my way through the work day all without entering a single store and she gets to enjoy her most favored hobby, guilt-free, because it transforms from the mere act of shopping to an act of loving service for her sweetie. See, magic!

So, I don’t like to shop.
She does.

Viva la difference!
