I wanted to post here especially since I met many of you in Boston. I have a problem with shopping. Not the actual spending of money, but all the TIME I spend researching, planning, budgeting. It has come to a head (again) and last week I made (yet another) commitment to limit my shopping and research. Unfortunately, that means this site goes by the wayside. It happened before, over a year ago, but I wasn't quite as involved here as I am now. I'm still checking in occasionally, but I'm really trying to avoid my shopping triggers. I'm so sad that this site is a big one for me.

Feel free to check out my blog...aptly named Unshopping and Unraveling. It's funny how when I first started it about 2 years ago, my problem was just the general amassing of stuff on sale and the actual spending of too much money on things that were not worth it. I almost want to say that my problem matured over time, as I started dressing better and looking for more quality items. It's now a deeper issue than just money, and it's also related to having a son with autism -- the older he gets, the harder it gets, and the more I want to escape. Oops, I'm turning this into a blog post... I'll leave it there for now, and know that I'm still thinking of all of you and this great community!!
