Ok so we are going tomorrow. I just can't seem to get to it and I keep finding things to do, that need doing before I go. What is up with that?!
So your Cds go in the mail tomorrow, I promise!! I just never left the house today. Bad me, bad me.
Well I have to tell you the funniest thing eva!! I have been selling my antiques lately on eBay trying to raise enough money to fix my teeth. It kills and hurts to boot...but I am sick of not being able to eat properly. I can eat cake and pudding, pie and ice cream, you know all those extremely fattening things...and holy cows my hips are showing it too!! But can I eat anything healthy like carrot sticks and apples....errrm nooooo. So things must change and this is the only way I know to do it. Not to mention now that it looks like I am gonna live at least a little longer I do want them fixed. There for a while I just couldn't see fixing them if I was going to die. I mean really, what would be the point of beautiful dentures for the mortician to sew your mouth shut anyway! =/ Nobody was going to see them....well hell what a waste. But now that I am having to go out in public and do the mommy-kid thing functions....crap my teeth are scary. I know children cry. So I have to bite...no gum...the bullet and do this thing I am so afraid of doing.
Ah..yeah ok so the eBay story. So if anyone of you have done eBay selling then you know it is hard work. All that packing and shipping...pppfffft. And no I'm not making any money but I am become liquid. So be it. My worst failing is I shop almost as much as I sell. Accck....which is not just a little bit defeating the whole purpose. grrrr...... My desk is now covered with little creatures playing viola. Actually they always advertise as violin, but John and I have decided they are all violas in reality. ;) So I have a troll playing viola, a smurf playing viola, Tigger playing viola, a Precious Moments boy doll playing viola...etc. See what I mean??!!! I think it's a racket...and I am guilty! hehe Sheese, I want money and I want my house cleaned out, both noble motives. I think the reality is it is all just shifting.
I surf the 'Bay for things. Things I don't even know I want suddenly become the be all end all. At the same time I am hoping my things I am selling become someone else's be-all-end-all thing. It is fun, it is interesting, and yes it is work. But it is kind of cool. And since I am a collectaholic it can be....whadyameancanbe.....addicting. O.o
A few months ago my brother mentioned to me that our dad (who we really don't know a lot about) is an eBay seller. Dealing collectible military insignia and WWI and WWII items etc. My dad even has a little bit of a personal profile posted. It says almost more about him than me, his daughter, even knows. He talks about his heart attack, his son (my half brother) needing a kidney transplant, his goats he raises, and his age and how young he feels, and thank goodness for the comfort of a good woman (which I had to stifle the upchuck at...but oh well). All in all though is kind of amazing really. lol Understand that my dad is about the silliest man ever. I asked my mom recently if daddy had always been goofy. He sends me emails written in what I call Little Rascals language. "We's be getting a new nanny goat this week, sissy"...that kind of silliness. He always will carry on telling a story and then asks me "other than that how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?" He is just a nut. His eBay page reflects some of that silliness just in how he writes.
Tonightt I was meddling around just checking out what he was selling. More pins, patches, a pair of binoculars, a book...just ood and end things. Typical stuff and soooo my dad. It makes me nostalgic, he loved all that kind of thing when we were a family too. I remember how he loved history, and I also love history. He and I were the ones who wanted to visit civil war battle grounds for fun. lol Ah well sooo long ago and so far away. But his eBay stuff reminds me that my dad is still in there somewhere. The dad I knew anyway. I scanned down and one thing caught my eye. I stopped, I read a little closer. I clicked on it to pull it up and see if I was really seeing what I thought I was seeing. zOMG!!! He has a sell line for...wait you will love it:
Pregnant Nanny Goat POOPALIZER pellets-ORGANIC
Yes, my dad is selling goat sh*t on eBay.
My day has been made, I shall hold my head high. ;D
