Shattered Visions
Sometimes it takes a girlfriend in order to have a really good shopping trip. It takes having someone who knows you very well either urging you forward on a contemplated splurge -- or holding you back before you plunge ahead on one she knows you'll live to regret. Such was the case last Wednesday, when my oldest childhood friend, Leslie, came to visit us from Philadelphia.
