I just hate it but can't resist - I'll be on my way somewhere else and will drive by a fabric store and my car just automatically pulls in. Of course I have to go in just to see what they have, and invariably that makes me late to what I intended to do.

my DH does most of the driving, so unless i beg, and forget stopping at yard sales, he pretends he doesn't see them or he says to me "Don't Look" as we drive by!

If we are driving on a trip, I make sure we stop! If it is a local shop I don't always, because I know I'll spend tons and sit and chat for hours. My husband is really good about it he will find the shops for me.

Yes, I'll stop/
I'll even plan a trip around shops in the summer.
Just for the ride.

Why of course!!! Have been turned away a couple of times because the shops were getting ready to close...so disappointing. Can't wait to use the Tom Tom my youngest and wife got me for Christmas so I can find more of them lol. I couldn't figure out what the gift was when they gave me this hint..."you will love it, but not so sure Dad will like you having it" followed by chuckles.
