Internet Shopping Addiction

Body
Hi, I'm Debi and I have a serious internet shopping addiction. In my office, I have a large box filled with items I impulsively ordered at Christmastime but didn't have a clue who to give them to. Since I forgot about them until I 'discovered' them while cleaning my office recently I can only hope I'll be able to remember I have them the next time an appropriate occasion comes around, but we all know I won't. Chemo brain is no joke. The fact that I haven't had a good memory since menopause is irrelevant. Ha! Ha!

Here in Oklahoma, one of the main topics of conversation is the weather, but I’d say transportation is right after that. People want to know when a road they rely on is going to be repaired, or how long before all the darn road construction is finally done.
