In case someone tries to point it out to me...yes...I know...the article does say that she "was" addicted to shopping on-line, but that she's gotten over it. Only time will tell...

Radio-Canada[b]Serena Williams kicks shopping habit[b/]
WebPosted Thu Aug 9 23:10:20 2001MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIF. (AP) - Tennis star Serena Williams says she has kicked a serious Internet shopping habit that involved spending six hours daily online.
"It hit its worst at the French Open. Every day I was in my room and I was online," she said. "I wasn't able to stop and I bought, bought, bought, bought, bought."
Her favourite items were clothing, shoes and things for her dog.
"Things I didn't need, I didn't even wear them," she said, laughing. "I was just out of control."
Williams said she was shopping online three hours daily during the tournament and up to six hours on off-days.
She initially got hooked as a way to avoid shopping in public.
"People always recognize me no matter where I go," said Williams, who is a platinum blonde now.
"That's why I changed the colour of my hair, so people wouldn't recognize me as much. But it didn't do any good, so I was like, OK, I'll try the online thing and, next thing I know, it's fun and I was addicted."
Williams says she's better now, although she is tempted whenever catalogs arrive in the mail.
"I throw all catalogs out now," she said.
Williams, 19, has earned more than $700,000 US on the court this year.
Williams is in Manhattan Beach for the estylecom Classic tournament.
She beat Australia's Nicole Pratt Wednesday to advance to the quarter-finals of the $565,000 WTA event.

Hey HadEnough,
I'll e-mail you, the same as everyone else, the day before the "event"...just in case U can make it at the last second.
Hey SweeeeeeetMango!
We were talking about U on the chat a couple of days ago...we werre thinking of starting a BitterMango contribution drive to get enough funds to bring you to Toronto. Alas though...we were only 4 people on the chat line...and at $10 each, not quite enough for a return trip.
A few of us were hoping U could make it...hopefully another time!

Hey Safe,
If the upcoming event on the 18th goes as well as last month's, then I'm sure most will be up to having another one in September!
I'll send you an e-mail with some Toronto info, but if you like doing your own exploring, try the following web-site: www.toronto.com
Since I've noticed a few of us like Shakespeare, maybe we should rent the DVD of "Shakespeare in Love" (one of my personal favourite movies) and have a night in one of these days! LOL
See some of you soon!

Southern Ontario (as well as the US north) have been going through quite the heat wave. The mayor of Toronto declared today (for the first time) a heat alert day for Toronto as temperatures reached 34 degrees Celcius (44 degrees with the humidex).
So with that in mind...how was everyones long weekend?
