Must...resist...evil....eBay....

[lumy12]

Okay, do I really NEED the Episode III air fresheners? The listing didn't even say what the fragrance is but I bought 3 of them.

I recently sold my Windows XP software that had been sitting around since the whole Upgrade Fiasco a few months ago. The guy PayPal-ed me so now I have $71 just sitting there, waiting to be spent.... sure I could transfer it to my checking account, but what fun is that? I prefer to think of it as eBay credit.

Thus, I have bid on several Anakin items as well as Steve Finley baseball cards (I haven't forgotten my old hobby).

Yes I'm supposed to be working. I'm here, answering my phone and my email.... just not doing much else. The boss is off today. Need I say more?

There are so many cool icons out there up for grabs, I can't resist. (Stad, I even grabbed you a preggers-Padme one, I'll have to post something with it just to show you)

I need to just close my browser (CLOSE, not minimize) and like, do some filing, or something. I don't have much else to do today. Plus it's FRIDAY and I have a 3-day WEEKEND (going up to the mountains again) - WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

Air fresheners

Where did you get them? I want some. I bought a bunch of the figures & toys & even the darth tater head on e-bay, so I understand. I still want General Grevous' wheel bike. I just don't have an extra $20 right now.
On another note I finally found some humor in the darkness of Order of the Phoenix, when the Weasly twins make the hall a swamp & then leave the school & everyone else starts playing jokes. I had to bring the cds home from work because Umbridge just caught Harry in her office when Harry was in the fire trying to find Sirius & I will have to finish this weekend if I have time. Have fun in the mountains. I am stuck in the humidity that is central Illinois. :D

They were on eBay as a "buy it now" item for $2.25, and you could choose how many you want. I think they're still there if you want to look.

It's humid here too, but I guess you guys back east have way more humidity than us (I'm in Phoenix, AZ) - the mountains will be nice though, cool temps... hopefully some nice rain.... if we ever leave! My bro is in the shower right now and we're leaving as soon as he finishes primping and packing.

I'm so addicted to LJ now that it will be hard to be away though :)

Thanks, I love E-bay. Very difficult to be away from lj, my sister talked me into it & now I am getting ready to try to make my own icons.

Ooooo, icons! I wanted to make my own for a while too - part of me still does - but I don't have a cool program to do it in and don't want to spend the money to get one. I will just keep "stealing" everyone else's (stealing with credit given though) - maybe you can make some cool Anakin ones for me to steal! Good luck learning :)

I don't have a cool program yet, but I do have plenty of tutorials on all the icons I want to make.I also have a ROTS air freshener coming from e-bay. Nice people I got it from. I am so glad we can have 100 user pictures now. It gives me more incentive to make icons. I just have to decide what program to get. We already have photoshop 2, I would just have to upgrade. Oh well have a good evening. Mindy

I don't even have photoshop, all I have is Paint. Very limited. Someday I'd like to get photoshop and have fun with it, but when I heard how expensive it is.... *gasp* I could buy lots of air fresheners for that! Even the upgrade is supposed to be like $200? Yowza.

Well I look forward to seeing your icons :)

I just bought paint brush shop 9 on ebay for $30 Yay!! Seller id fast shipper so I should be doing this in no time. I am off work Wed-Fri plus weekend (always unless overtime, office job) I also have 2 HP/Anakin crossover icons I snagged today. I will put them in my user pics unless you want me to e-mail them to you. Let me know :D

Re: Air fresheners

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will just look at 'em in your userpics - I've only seen one cross-over and I didn't snag it, crossover creeps me out a little...

Yesterday I used up the remainder of my PayPal credit on eBay. $71 all eBayed out in about a week.... but now my stuff will be arriving, Christmas every day, woohoo!

I found it amusing that as I get back into the Top Secret Project that the first entry includes a comment about you going up to the mountains!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was before Grandma got so... OLD. Heh. My dad used to go up for almost a week at a time. (He wouldn't leave her for an entire week, but close to it) Egads I don't want to get old.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Old is better than dead, and that is the alternative to not getting old.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Grandma would probably debate you on that. If she could debate properly, that is! She can talk just fine but she can't hear worth a damn, which makes conversation pretty difficult :) I usually just let her talk and I listen and nod and shout a few words here and there.

That isn't as much old as ill-health, and that could really strike at any age, that inability to take care of yourself, etc, would be awful, I agree.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah. She doesn't have any illness, except very late developing diabetes... it's just old age, her body being worn out.
