Some people work to cure cancer, others are fighting the war on poverty. Me? My selfless act is to help people spend money on stuff they need, like clothes and bags and makeup and, of course, killer shoes. But, that's not all. I like to eat. And complain (most specifically about how hard it is to be a mom). Oh, and obsess over the next perfect pair of shoes.

Rationalization 101
My special gift is to be able to rationalize any purchase.
To wit: See this cute scarf? It's from Uncommon Goods, a fabulously quirky Web site that specializes in out-of-the-box gifts and items. It's made of T-shirts scraps and is incredibly soft (I love soft T-shirts! I love scarves!) — and it's made by disabled people.
I totally could make that purchase out of the joint checking account instead of my rapidly dwindling "special" fund. It's a charitable donation, right?
