Retail therapy?

While I know I have a varied, diverse and generally interesting personality, I thought a list of my material purchases from the last week or so might provide Lakshmi-novices with valuable insight into just what they're getting for their money:

• Brown leather Coccinelle handbag (was on sale, how could I say no?)
• Disturbed's latest album (annihilation will be unavoidable)
• 11 P.G. Wodehouse books (10 Penguin edition, 1 Vintage)
• A Terry's Chocolate Orange (round, but not round for long)
• Seasons 3 and 4 of Entourage
• Travel insurance (despite no solid plans for any trips in the near future)
• Clean Cotton scented Yankee Doodle candle (went out, meant to buy lunch, bought a candle instead. As you do.)
• Greatest Hits of Erasure CD

Try as I might, I can't discern a pattern...
