The Aging Shopaholic Strikes Again

Backstory: My mom has recently discovered how to shop online.

It is a great time to be an old shopaholic with a lap top and a credit card.

OK, I also ordered a feather mattress topper.

OHMIGOODNESS!!! THIS IS SCAREY.

I now shop for my bed instead of that magical pair of pants that does not make my ass look big.

Love, Mom

"I'm named after the song A Letter to Elise by The Cure, and my middlenames: Klara and Lisel were chosen because my mom had a dream about having a daughter named Klara, and she promised my great-grandmother that she would name me Lisel."
