WOW That is all I can say...

I want to preface this by saying I don’t get much adult tv time. So watching the Winter Olympics is not my top priority. I had heard about the fuss it was making on the radio but I did not believe the hype until I watched their dance. I had to watch this twice. That is how unbelievable I found it. Yes, I am talking about this year’s ice dance competition. The theme of this year’s skating dance was to represent a country’s style weather it was your country or another. Russia decided to do an Australian Aboriginal dance. I had to look up what a traditional Aboriginal dace was, as the only one I have seen was on Crocodile Dundee. I could not believe how these two people could stereo type a culture like they did. They said they “researched” the dance before they put it together. Whoever did their research needs to be fired! They pretty much make a mockery of the Aborigine culture. I was completely floored. If you have not seen it watch it here.

LOL Boys!


I asked my 10 year old to watch his brother while I got into the shower.

My Addiction

Ok Seriously, I don’t think I have an addictive personality. I love to play on Facebook mainly because I am bored during the day and I don’t want to clean my house. However recently I was introduced to the wonders of e-bay selling. The first week I listed 4 items, I checked it once a day. Honestly, I could say I was happy when only one item sold. Of course, I would have been ecstatic if they had all sold, but, one was a good start. Then I started looking at what other people were selling. OMGoodness! People will buy anything! So that is when my addiction began. It has been 33 days and I have listed over 100 items. I have sold about half of them. That is not here or there. I check my ebay ever 30 minutes to see if someone has bid on an item. I have even gotten to the point where I check it in the middle if the night when I get up to check on my boys when they are sleeping. I have started going through my house looking for stuff I think people will buy. (Granted it is a great way to spring clean.) My husband has started leaving me notes saying “not for sale” on items.
So I am saying “Hello my name is Bobbie and I am addicted to E-bay….”
Just don’t stage an intervention until my items sell!
