Why I Should Never Shop Online

Why bother reading and understanding measurements provided by online vendors? I assume that all objects are created in a magical candy land where unicorns ride roller coasters everything is the size I imagine it to be.

Exhibit A: This herb growing tater pot is too tiny to provide enough mint for a single mojito. Why will I keep it? It's just so small and cute!

Exhibit B:

Go ahead and crack wise, my purse is a ridiculous size, yet not large enough to hide my shame.

It is bright and cheerful-can see that you would like it at 1/4 to 1/3 the actual size. Hmm, how about an interesting magazine rack.

That purse will hold alot of fruit! (hee hee)

Yeah - I've fallen in love with things I wanted to buy online and then read the measurements and been disappointed.

The little herb growing pot is adorable, though : )

Gotta say, I like the purse. Just call it a tote and the size won't seem so big!
