I always wonder about this - how much time do you spend admiring your collections?

I would think a new parrot would provide more entertainment, but I suppose you have your hands full with your current flock.

Generally, I always want to buy stuff I can use. With an extra $2,000 you'd probably see me buy a new MacBook Pro or Apple's 30" Cinema Display. You know I would spend many, many hours a day using either of those and so it looks like a great purchase for me.

It's sobering that I can't think of something costing "only" $1,000 that I really want. It's all $2,000 and $3,000 and $10,000 and up.

It must be nice to be a woman and be able to get a lift out of a cheap pair of shoes, instead of an expensive computer. Or so I think, except that it seems like the compulsion is hard to stop.

Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic amuses me. Despite her addiction to shopping, her heroine is strangely lovable. But needs a wealthy guy, no question.
