Go ahead, you know you want to bid. Who can resist old school video games?! Really though, we don’t ever, ever play these so we decided to list them on ebay. They are in awesome condition.

I need to briefly complain about something. I buy and sell a lot of things on ebay. When I sell something, I weigh the item before listing in and only charge actual shipping. I hate when people try to make money off of shipping! We just bought a huge lot of clothes for Ashton and were charged $19.95 for shipping when it really only cost just over $13 to ship. And it came in an old box that looks like it’s seen better days. The clothes were perfect, but I dunno… I don’t like when people try to make money off shipping. I also bought the girls 3 brand new with tags tank tops from The Children’s Place for only $5.99. I was charged $5 shipping and assumed that it would be for USPS Priority which would cost $4.80 for something of this weight. Turns out the tank tops were sent USPS First Class for $1.86! Grrrrrr it just gets on my nerves.

And on the topic of ebay… I just scored an amazing deal on a pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans that retail for $198. Guess what I paid? Okay I’ll tell you….. $13. THIRTEEN DOLLARS. The first thing I would think if someone told me they bought designer jeans for $13 is that they must be fake. Don’t worry, these are authentic, you can totally tell. I’m wondering why they didn’t have more bids though… The seller has a lot of feedback that is 100% positive so I’m pretty sure I just got the most amazing deal of all time. SWEET.

Designer jeans are awesome. Jeans are one thing that I will spend a good deal of money on and not feel bad about it. I’m such a jeans and T shirt kind of girl, so I will pay just about anything for the perfect pair of jeans. In my experience, designer jeans fit like a glove. Perfect. I’m so excited to get these in the mail!

p.s. I think this might have to be my next ebay purchase. LOL! Can you imagine?

When Ashton was here Saturday, we took her and the babies to go see Horton Hears a Who. It was so good. I just loved it. It’s probably one of my new favorite movies! The people they picked to do the voices were perfect. Ashton loved the movie as well and babies watched some of the movie in their carriers and then passed out and slept the rest of the time. And speaking of those carriers, my goodness they are growing out of them so fast which I am not too excited about because that means we’ll have to buy two new car seats soon. Anyway, go see Horton Hears a Who! You won’t be disappointed.
We watched Dan In Real Life last night in bed and it was very good as well. Preston pointed out last night that a lot of the movies that we deem as “favorites” are Focus Features. Just a random little bit of info there! lol
And on the topic of movies, I posted on My Little Review about a movie website that sends you free tickets for movie screenings. Preston and I are attending a free screening tomorrow night. It’s worth reading and checking out!
Also, I listed some womens/juniors clothes on ebay and will be adding more baby stuff later so please take a look if you are interested! *edit* Just added everything else!
Hope everyone is having a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I wore a green shirt, just incase, in order to avoid pinching, you know. I’m using a lot of exclamation points today and I don’t know why!

I intended on cleaning the house today, and I decided I wanted to clean out my closet. Well, cleaning out my closet resulted in finding a bunch of things to list on ebay, and so I spent the afternoon taking photos and creating ebay listings. And I’m not even done yet! I will post some links tomorrow. For some reason not all of my listings are showing up right away… they are in myebay but they are not showing up in my listings under my username or when I search. Things usually show up right after I list them. Hmm… hopefully they will be showing up by tomorrow. I have more baby clothes to list too. Geez the girls are growing way too fast! Oh and I just remembered I have a watch to list. It’s not like these IWC watch or anything it’s way more plain. It’s cute.

Well, Preston rented a movie for us so I better get off here and go snuggle up for the movie! Dan In Real Life, hopefully it’s good.

I recently bought iLife ‘08 on ebay, thinking that I was getting a really awesome deal. I won the auction on a “brand new, sealed, never been opened” 5 user family edition of iLife ‘08 for $59.59 (compared to the $99 retail price). It was said in the auction that the item “looks exactly like the one pictured”. The one pictured being a sealed, brand new, unopened copy.

99.9% of my experiences on ebay have been great. I looooove ebay. This particular transaction turned out, so far, to be not so great. I had to email the seller twice before they actually shipped the item out. Then, a week after the last email I sent I got the package in the mail. What I got was a single cd, NOT in the package, NOT sealed, obviously NOT brand new. The cd has permanent marker writing on the front that reads “tested #479″ and several scratches and smudge marks on the readable surface. The package in which this cd came in is the best part. The cd arrived in a cut in half bubble mailer, stapled closed. There are two strips of Duck Tape covering up holes in the bubble mailer. The addresses were printed on a piece of paper and it looks like a 6 year old might have been the one to cut the paper down to the size required to fit on the envelope.
