I'm back
Well, there for a bit I went away on 'vacation' to Arizona (hidden link in title again- a couple caught the last ones). It was actually a roadtrip from Dallas to Tucson with our 4 kids piled in the SUV for a weeklong excursion including a fun-filled site-seeing agenda for each day. (Woo-hoo.) Everything was uphill. No kidding. We visited the BioSphere (BTW, have you ever noticed how much Richard Simmons and Pauly Shore resemble each other? Just a thought...), Kitt Observatory, Arizona University Planetarium, Pima Air and Space Museum, and we climbed Mount Lemon-- not all 8000 some odd feet high, just a short distance really-- about 30 or so feet, and that was enough to have me huffing and puffing and gasping for dear life. We also rode the ski lift closer to the top from which I got sun-burned. All-in-all it was very nice (until the skin began itching profusely).
Once home, I needed recuperation time from my little holiday. Also, my husband and I realized that we should probably do something to get fit and lose weight. I'm frantically on the search for my rice diet that I used to lose 30 pounds several years ago- the last time I gained an incredible girth, incredibly quickly (spontaneous carelessness).
Honestly, I've been trying to work, but Monday was a bust with everything I needed to do for the kids: my teenaged boys are trying to get driving permits. Yikes! OMG-- have you been to the Dept of Public Safety lately? (They might call it the DMV where you live, but they might as well call it a nightmare.) Then Tuesday was devoted to going through my 846 new email messages. Today, I've been productively slacking. Checking out some cool links I received. Forwarded a few on. Got a thank-you response from a famous marketer/author- Seth Godin. Very cool! Am I retarded for getting excited about this? I think it's way cool, like that time Tom Peters replied to my comment on his blog and actually used my name! Ok, yeah, maybe a little re-re.
Anywho, I have been working- subconsciously. In fact, Alice Seba says in her blog that laziness can breed productivity, so there. :P I have bunches of links to share with you too, but they'll have to wait for when my productivity level rises again. For now, let me direct your attention to a cute little eBay list. Yes, I know. It looks suspiciously similar to my original one from forever ago, but we want to encourage them anyway. So here it is...
You Know You're Addicted to Ebay When... |
Every time you go to the grocery store, you offer the cashier one cent more for
each item in the cart of the person in front of you.
To cut costs, FedEx and UPS are considering relocating their operations centers
to your house.
Sitting on the floor of your empty apartment, you stare at your fingers and
wonder whether they'll sell better individually or as a matched set.
Your spouse is loving and caring but you decided to file for divorce because you
need the storage space.
You're the reason they adopted the "No selling your children's vital organs"
policy.
You
find yourself searching eBay auctions for milk, eggs and bread.
When your wife agrees to have sex with you, you become suspicious and ask how
many other bidders there were.
Just ask your kids, eRay and eFaye.
After a particularly passionate night, you lean over and whisper in your
spouse?s ear, "Excellent service, great communication! Would recommend again!
AAAA++++"
You set your alarm clock for 3 am so you can log on to protect your bid.
You've called someone a naughty name for outbidding you at the last second.
You've questioned your sanity because of the price you've bid... more than once.
You've changed all your clocks to "eBay official time (PDT)."
You've bid on something even though the picture doesn't show up correctly.
You've purposely run up the bid on something similar for which you paid more.
You've rolled your eyes at the word "antique" or "vintage" used on something
made in the past decade.
You've gritted your teeth each time you've clicked on a description that uses
the word "L@@K."
You've turned up the volume on your email alert so you'll never miss an Outbid
Notice.
You've made "My eBay" your default home page.
You've emailed a seller to correct their description with accurate dates or
details.
You've come to rely on "convenience cash" from PayPal and wish you could pay all
your bills like that.
You've earned a "Shooting Star" Feedback Profile for more than 10,000 purchases!
You won't go to estate auctions because they don't take PayPal.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted
to Ebay. |
