Talking Turkey
So after confessing that I’ve done plenty of Christmas shopping for myself and none, zippo, nada for anyone else, I’ve had an epiphany. Thanksgiving couldn’t come at a better time, because on Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year, I will be so stuffed with turkey and pumpkin pie that there’s no way I’ll be buying any clothes for myself that day — I won’t fit into anything! Who wants to shop for fat pants? And after being on my feet braving the crowds all day, I’ll hardly want to try on shoes, much less buy them.
Right? Don’t I sound convincing?? Well, I did some googling, and I may be on to something: There has actually been research into the use of tryptophan to treat compulsive and addictive behavior. So there — pass the turkey!
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. And happy shopping on Friday!
P.S. Okay, I couldn’t help myself. I made one last purchase… I’d ordered this Tory tunic from Neiman’s a few months ago and after weeks and weeks of waiting, and even getting a Fedex tracking number, I finally heard from them that the item had sold out in my size so my order couldn’t be fulfilled! After going through that Neiman’s-giveth-Neiman’s-taketh-away ordeal, I was bereft. Well, it turns out patience is a virtue after all. I just found it for less — and in a better color to boot! — at Scoop. But this purchase shouldn’t really count against me, since I had already thought I’d bought it, so it was practically already a part of my wardrobe, and so this isn’t even new at all…

That Scoop sale was pretty fantastic, actually–I did unusually well there this time around.
