Current mood: excited

I just found this printer that I've been looking for on eBay for $159.99 with a Buy It Now, no less. Whoo Hoo! It is the one that we use at school and school's tech lady has tried many printers and swears by this one. It's a $500 printer new, but if it works, I don't mind used/refurbished.

I missed bidding on an auction that ended Saturday night by the same seller. My stupid manager said, "I'm sending you on one more run, if that's OK." Like I can so no, it's not. You need to send me home because my eBay auction ends in 39 minutes and I need to go home. Then it wasn't one more, it was three more. He sent me on freakin' singles and doubles all night (another point of contention I had with him that night) and on the last run sends me with a triple. Well, I hustled my ass to deliver those, got back to the store, checked out my cash, drove home and sat down at the computer ONE MINUTE after the auction ended. ARGH!!!!!! Oh, well.

In other good news, I actually slept about 7 hours last night. I was wide awake at 6 0'clock, which is waaay better than 3 am. Well, I better get ready for school. I've got a lot of work to do this weekend. The general lack of sleep and the fact I've felt like crap has made me less than ambitious in my school work and I'm behind in a few things. I'm going to Las Vegas next weekend to go to a wedding and I don't want unfinished school work hanging over my head to spoil my fun.

Man, what is it about me and last minute auction wars on eBay? Why must other people feel the need to bid on the things I want? Why do they feel the need to drive the price up above what I can afford to pay? They should know to just step aside and let me have whatever it is that I was bidding on. *sigh*

Seriously, though. I've lost a couple of auctions recently on items that I can't find on other web sites for purchase. It kind of bums me out. All I'm trying to do is get some cute collectible things to decorate my craft room. Is that so wrong? I did just win a cross stitch pattern at the last second, though. I just did to someone what always happens to me. I waited to hit the bid button until there was only 5 seconds left. I feel so mean doing that.

OK, back to the movie.

All righty, then. I've won another couple of auctions on eBay for crafty things. I won a chart for a cross stitch sampler and a Sunset cross stitch kit of mice holding crafting classes in a sewing box. Too cute. There's a couple of more leaflets I'm watching, but other than that, I'm set for awhile. I'm finally up over 10 feedbacks, so I can do "buy it now." I've got some stuff of my own I want to get rid of, including some craft books.

I've been an eBay junkie lately. I've won two cross-stitch charts that I'm going to be working on after they arrive. The first is a chart titled "In Stitches" from Calico Crossroads and the second is a Dimensions charted titled "Sew Cozy." Yay me! There is one more auction today that I'm going to try to win. After that, enough crafts on eBay. I have plenty to keep me busy for a looooong time. I'm trying to make stuff to decorate my craft room, can you tell?
