Thanks, Mike! As I commented to someone earlier, it's always interesting to think about what's motivating/driving the behavior. For me, it really is so much about having an emotionally and sensorily soothing ritual. I could imagine someone going through my same shopping behaviors but being motivated by, say, an intense fear of dressing "incorrectly" (anxiety) or feeling compelled to look through the websites in order to distract from bad thoughts or ward off something terrible happening (OCD). Same behavior, different causes!
