Compulsive Shopper Synonym

Today at work I had a customer who was telling me her story about how her husband is always complaining about her shopping habits and telling her she is a compulsive shopper.  So I told her "Girl you aren't a compulsive shopper---you are simply doing your part to stimulate the economy--you are doing what's right for America!"   LOL
So my synonym for the day .......
Compulsive shopper ~ Economy stimulator

Momma Sent Me Butterflies


When momma died I cried and cried

I can not count the hours.

One nite

I dreamed of butterflies

Then soon

a fairy arrived

who said there

would be flowers.

She said that no one ever dies

If they touched your heart

so deep inside

that you never

forget the feeling

of

the laughter and the smiles

they gave you.

That

no one can ever take that away

in your heart it will always

stay

and

that

is part of the healing.

I learned to smile again

in Spring

when my flowers started

blooming

and everytime

I saw butterflies

I knew my mom was

looming.

I can feel her

every now and then

her whisper and embrace.

I can not call her on the phone

or touch her lovely face.

But

I know she’s watching over me

and wants me to be free

from all the sadness that I feel

because she is not

still

here on Earth

with me.

And I know

the butterflies

and fairies

and flowers

are what she sent to me

in a dream one nite

so I could learn

how to begin

to

set the sorrow
free.
