Busy computer day

12

I spent most of the day putting things up on EBay to sell. My brother-in-law has a lot of stuff in his garage that he wants to get rid of and doesn’t have the patience to add it all to EBay. I volunteered to do it for him. We are going to split the profits too. Yesterday I put up a bunch of HO gauge NASCAR slot cars and today was a lot of china and stuff. There is a lot more to do.. if only there was some high dollar items like certified diamonds but there isn’t.

Tomorrow I’ll be putting up some dachshund items and some more china. Just by checking on EBay I don’t know if these china things will sell.. but we’ll see.

I need a cheap laptop

I don’t mean cheap as in not well made. I mean cheap as in a great sale and really reduced or even free.

I’m out of a job and unemployment ran out and money is really, really tight. I wonder if I can get a laptop at a place that sells wholesale computers?

I used to have a laptop but the hard drive quit and I don’t think it’s even worth getting it fixed. It would be better to just get a newer laptop that has more memory and storage.

I can’t bring myself to toss the old laptop so it’s sitting on the top shelf of my closet. Yeah.. I’m a pack rat and that’s not good!

Late night TV

Have you ever had nights where you can’t sleep? Have you ever watched late night TV? It’s chock full of infomercials and commercials for everything under the sun. I’ve seen mesothelioma ads, ads for “male problems”, infomercials for food preparation products, exercise products and a lot more.

I’m glad I don’t have problems sleeping anymore or I’d be so tempted to shop, shop, shop late at night. I have a hard time not shopping online during the day as it is. But not having a job or much of an income keeps my shopping urges at bay… and that’s a good thing right now. I just have to stick to “window shopping” until I can find a job.

Stuff on EBay

I’m selling a bunch of stuff on EBay. I went through the closet in the spare bedroom and pulled out a bunch of stuff. I’ve had a couple sales and 1 person who bid and won on my elliptical but this person is in Chicago and I didn’t hear from them so I had to put into EBay to have them cancel the sale. That happened last night so now I’m fee to sell it again. I put it on Craigslist in the Sports/Sporting Goods section in amongst the golf clubs, golf training aids and other workout equipment.

Right now on EBay I have a bunch of glass/crystal items, a couple of old sewing patterns and a bunch of crochet/craft patterns. I sold a bunch of old post cards, travel brochures and stamps. EBay can become quite addicting!

I love this place

I do a lot of my online shopping at Buy.com and I post about it on my ArmyMom blog a lot. They always have great things on sale.

I was just browsing through looking at kitchen appliances they do have some really good deals. They have everything from coffee filters on up to expensive drink machines.

The last thing I bought from them was a new wireless router that I just love. My old one was about to die. It kept kicking us off the internet several times a day. Since I got the new one I have been kicked off once.

Keep this place in mind when shopping online. They ship fast and sometimes shipping is free!!

No more hair in my face

dsc017291I was at CVS this morning. I was there to get a couple things I needed. I looked around at other stuff and found this cool thing for my hair. It’s called EZ Combs and it was in their “As Seen on TV” section. It was only $9.99 so I picked it up.

I’ve always had trouble with combs falling out of my hair because my hair is so fine. These combs are connected by elastic covered with beads. I tried it and the combs haven’t even moved in the last 2 hours and it was easy to put in. It comes with a step-by-step styling guide and you can watch a video online.

I usually just leave my hair down because I have so much trouble putting it up. It won’t be a problem with these EZ Combs.

Shopping

I got paid last night and today the money is all gone! No.. I didn’t buy any expensive jewelry… I went grocery shopping. But at least I now have enough food for at least the next 2 weeks. I got a 2 lb package of hamburger and split it up so I have 1 package to make spaghetti and another to make a meat loaf. I got all kinds of stuff.

dsc01674I also found Pepperidge Farm cookie scented candles there. I picked up a Milano Double Chocolate candle and it smells so yummy! They had all kinds of cookie scents but I just had to have the chocolate one!

They had sugar cookie, vanilla cookie, orange, mint and raspberry scented ones.. just to name a few. Actually I don’t remember all the ones they had because my eyes went right to the chocolate one!

I can’t wait to light this one up and see how it smells when the candle is burning.
