it's a good thing I work or I might just spend our life savings on ebay. I forgot how I had to stop ebay-ing about 10 years ago because of my found obsession for WINNING. "I've been outbid?" I would think to myself, "oh no you don't!" At which point I would end up paying exorbitant amounts of money on things like... giant tacky candy dishes shaped like seashells. So I stopped that after I bid crazy amounts on this sundress that was paper thin and about 7 sizes too small.

Recently, with this whole baby thing I thought to myself... i bet i could find *insert muy expensive baby item here* on ebay for waaay cheaper... so I checked it out and I was right.

I spent all day Sunday and Monday obsessively checking my ebay auctions. I even outbid someone in the last 30 seconds *papow!* and won my auction on Sunday. Then, the same thing happened to me Monday. Insanity rushed through me. How dare that person STEAL MY AUCTION (yes, as i had done to some poor soul the day before). I went crazy and bid on the next closest thing, which wasn't even what I really wanted. It was black and green instead of cranberry and khaki and in a world of white cat hair that really makes a difference.

As luck or fate would have it, I lost that auction and won another one with a cranberry item that ended 17 minutes later. I paid for my item and signed off ebay... hopefully for another 10 years.

here's a picture of nearly what my obsessive buy looks like:

Ha! Stay away from the toy section or you'll end up paying $45 for a 30 year old Little People camper that is worth about $10 (if that) (like me)!!
My down-fall is AAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLWAYS Giuliana. I'm constantly picking up "just this one little thing" for her. So easy to spoil these cute kids!
