Online Window Shopping

Does anyone else just spend an exorbitant amount of time just looking at every item in online shops? Maybe even putting together a shopping cart you know you'll never buy? I do. I spend a stupid amount of time on sites like Rue La La, ASOS, Haute Look, Nordstrom, Shop Bop and just about any other site with interesting clothes, shoes, purses... anything... I never intend to buy anything and I never do, but sometimes just hitting the "add to cart" button holds a certain satisfaction. Just seeing the total all added up for my purchase in another reality where my wallet holds numerous hundred dollar bills and  a black card, sigh. For this reason I think I should basically stay away from credit cards and avoid the temptation of following the "add to cart" with "check out now". However, even though I know many of these items I know I will never see, due to availability or price, I can take some comfort in loving items online and seeing the less than stunning reality.
