What kind of people am I working with?!

I work at Office Depot, and I love every minute of it. No okay, that isn't true, but I will try and love it until I get to move onto something better. Anyway, while I was ringing someone up, a woman commented to me, "2000 dollar shopping spree?! I could never spend that much money in an hour."
And I looked at her with a raised eyebrow that said, 'Really? Are you serious?' but said out loud, "Really? Are you serious?"
I think anyone, a WOMAN especially could spend 2000 dollars in an hour, and to prove it, I am going to spend 2000 imaginary dollars right now, on this blog.
All my shopping will be, of course, virtual, and will be done on-line.
I am a world class shopper.
Okay. I'm going to wait until 10:30, just to make the time even, that's five minutes, so hold on a second...I'm not cheating, I swear. I'm on facebook.

My buddy Corey is going to do this as well. He is a guy, so it will give a new perspective. Alright, here I go.

Alright, my first item was at bestbuy.com. It was a Dell- Studio Laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo whatever whatever. I bought it because it was flamingo pink. It was 749 after taxes. Awesome. The bestbuy website isn't loading right now, so I'm moving on.

Next I went to borders.com and bought Seasons 1-4 of CSI: New York (I loooove CSI). My total was $233.96
My time is 10:39

At Charlotte Russe (yes, I love it), I spent $223.91 on shoes. And that's it.
Now it's 10:47. I've spent $1206.87. Excellent.

At Forever21.com I just spent $827.93 on tops, pants, jewlery, shoes, bags, and accesories.
Its 11:09 now. And I went over limit. But I'm not taking anything virtually back, I'll pay for it with my own virtual cash. My total came to $2034. 80. Out of pocket I would pay $34.80. Not bad, I got about twenty new pairs of shoes, a new laptop, about a hundred shirts (seriously, why can't this be real? I'm depressed now), new hair pieces, ten pairs of pants, three pairs of shorts, two skirts, three purses, and various pieces of jewlery and hair clips. Niiiiice.

Anyway, this was enjoyable for me, I hope you enjoyed watching me spend virtual money.
Oh, and Corey's spending spree took all of four minutes. He bought a 2000 puppy.
