When you know you’ve been too long shopping.

When you’re feet hurt. Well that’s a given. How about:

When you pull into a drive way to turn around, back up and mailboxes,that you didn’t see and you barely missed, suddenly appear in your side mirror,and you count yourself lucky on that one. Or in a parking lot and it's a cart, lamp post, another car.

After your all most miss, you drive like a drinker who knows he's drunk, so much so the cop you pass thinks maybe you are and stops you. Fortunately you did remember to put you current proof of insurance in the glove box and can walk a straight line.

When the books you held in your left hand (that you’vealready read or didn’t want) to get them out of the way while you searched through the stack (for those you did want and held in your right hand) are thebooks that ended up in your sack.

When you get home and discover you have already have two of the same thing as one of the things you just brought home, one of which you bought the last time you were out shopping too long.

When you open a sack, look at what you bought and wonder ‘What in the world did I buy that for?’

When you stare at something knowing there is a reason you should buy it, but can’t remember what.

When you stand in a store and wonder, what did I come inhere for.

When , when it’s time to go home, you can remember you went to town for a specific reason (that you were saving for the last), but you can’tremember what it was and the list you made of all the things you had to do—so you wouldn’t forget-- is home on the table.

When the blouse you found that is exactly the right color,but you forgot to check the size. It’s either too small, reminding you of thoseextra ten pounds, or too large, making you fool yourself into thinking maybe those ten pounds aren’t so bad.

When you do remember something you should do and your attitude is ‘No way am I making another stop!’

This one I picked up on a loop today, when you don’t read the label in the ‘perfect’ modest bathing suit you finally find, do so when you get home and read,’ this material may become transparent when wet.’

So what's your favorite, I know I've been shopping too long?
