    By: Karen Ranney

    Yesterday, UPS delivered a few packages to me. Remember, I’m an online gal from way back. Of the three boxes, the one that delighted me the most was the one containing the books I’d ordered. When I get a book I anticipate reading, it’s like Christmas. You know the feeling: your heart pounds, your eyes light up, your breath comes quickly. Wait a minute. Why does the song: “Almost Like Be [...]

  • Confessions of an Online Shopper

    By: Karen Ranney

    The other day, someone complimented me on my couch. It’s one of those slipcovered things that’s squishy and soft and you could cuddle up there with a good book and be comfy (I have and was). When I told her I bought it online, she was surprised. Doubly so when I announced that everything in my house, except for my inherited dining room furniture, was purchased online. Everything in my gym, my [...]
