[ The Top Ten Reasons I Need a Shopping Spree ]
10. I need new clothes: my boyfriend threatened to use my most comfortable and slightly paint-stained summer-time shirt to check the oil in his car. (I guess he's tired of seeing me wear that shirt.)
9. I’m a college student who works full time and is starting another job to help pay bills; a shopping spree would be a wonderful indulgence.
8. My boss is driving me crazy; I might as well stop by Nashville and shop on the way!
7. I recently got the first perm I've ever had: I'm hoping new clothes will draw attention away from it!
6. I've always wanted to win a radio contest and hear my name announced on the air.
5. I have a ten-year class reunion to attend this summer; I’m still looking for an outfit that says, "No I’m not married and I don’t have children, but I look GOOD!"
4. I don’t know exactly when I last treated myself to a new outfit, but I’m pretty sure it was before Taco Bell started using that little dog in their commercials.
3. In honor of the celebrities from Dirt of the Day, I want to find clothes that are suitable for such activities as going to court for leaving the scene of an accident, being grossly overpaid for acting out what the sit-com writers write, and appearing on talk shows while complaining about everyone invading my privacy.
2. Along that line, I deserve a reward for NOT behaving like the celebrities from Dirt of the Day. (We all do!)
1. Somehow I keep missing my chance to be a contestant on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?".
NOTES
This is my radio-contest-winning top ten. The contest was held in June, 2000. Incidentally, my prize was a $25 gift certificate to a plaque and engraving shop. I never redeemed the prize, but I was so thrilled to have been chosen.
Numbers 2 and 3 refer to a segment the radio morning show has in which they tell gossip about celebrities. I'm particulary proud of numbers 5 and 7. :)
