I'm looking forward to an awesome display of keep or return :). My SO has just joined Gilt Group, so he should be done giving me a hard time.

One was very large. Hubby didn't blink, just asked if there was anything for him in it. I'm not stretching the truth when I tell him most of it is going back.

As we are in the process of moving, I have not even dipped my pinky into NAS waters this year...but the good news is that in 6 days we are heading east for 5 months in NYC and I bet there are some places there where I can shop!

UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays unless you paid extra for that option (ahem -- SEEMS UNLIKELY), so I think you're safe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-pray-that-my-husband-is-not-home-when-the-credit-card-calls/page/3#post-386497 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:36:38 +0000 MNsara 386497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley - I agree that Kim should send her bottle of wine to you ;-)</p> <p>Kyle - I'm not so sure -- didn't you find that properly dispensed guilt and shame worked wonders on your kids </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-pray-that-my-husband-is-not-home-when-the-credit-card-calls/page/3#post-386487 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:10:58 +0000 Mo 386487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, my BF does have quite the collection of 1938 baseball cards. And he's down to the last few to complete the set. Several hundred dollars a piece . . . But his is an investment of sorts because the resale is high when a set is done. Can't say my closet would sell for $10,000! You are right, though. Whether it's golf or video games or online poker or fishing, men have their own expensive habits as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-pray-that-my-husband-is-not-home-when-the-credit-card-calls/page/3#post-386483 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:02:44 +0000 Queen Mum 386483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha Kyle, the day my husband spends $2000 on baseball cards would be the end of him ;-)<br /> I"m sorry Marley... if it's any consolation, I did think about you while I was filling my cart and clicking that darn purchase button. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-pray-that-my-husband-is-not-home-when-the-credit-card-calls/page/3#post-386482 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 20:59:38 +0000 Kyle 386482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, another friend once told me, "guilt is a useless emotion," and that has always stayed with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-pray-that-my-husband-is-not-home-when-the-credit-card-calls/page/2#post-386480 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 20:58:31 +0000 Kyle 386480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, ladies, I have to tell you that it cuts both ways. </p> <p>One of my male friends used to have his baseball card purchases shipped to my office so his wife would not see them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-pray-that-my-husband-is-not-home-when-the-credit-card-calls/page/2#post-386100 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 06:08:46 +0000 Marley 386100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim! I was counting on you to be my non-shopping buddy! Now it sounds as though you have really fallen into the deep end of the pool - and I'm just sitting here on the edge with one toe dangling in the NAS waters wondering if maybe I should test the waters??</p> <p>WHAT AM I SAYING!??? Somebody please slap some sense into me - AND, Kim I think the least you can do is send over to me your bottle of wine. I'm soooo going to need it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-pray-that-my-husband-is-not-home-when-the-credit-card-calls/page/2#post-386093 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 05:06:50 +0000 lyn* 386093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel very guilty about buying things for myself.

I always peel my name and address off the box just in case it gets reused though. And ugh, the plastic. For me it's the biggest downside of online shopping because it is so utterly wasteful. I wonder how many poor plastic trees are murdered in cold sap during NAS season... </p>
