Ebayz, Cars, and Predatory Response

Do you suppose sanity actually makes a sound, when it cracks? What about just a little seizure?
Doesn't really matter; it's not like I could hear it, if it did.

I hate Disney's Cars. Hate it so very much. And if you had a not-quite-three year old who had been screeching "CAAAAAARRRRRS!" for the past hour, you'd hate it, too.

But onwards, to the point of this post -

Look, I have made Ebayz!
The fact that I have auctions listed on Ebay, is nothing new, if you know me. The interesting fact, is that I got absolutely no sleep, this past Friday night, and in that state, decided to update my About Me page.
Here, go have a look.
I was just restless, a little bored, and taking a break from writing Ebay listings. But reading it apparently made my husband weep with laughter, when he found it, and he's been after me to post a link, ever since.

Some of the auctions are fun, too, though you'd never know from the titles (as everyone knows, Ebay is Serious Internet Business, or at least, it is when you have kids to dress on a VERY limited budget), and better yet...the clothes are The Pretty. So go have a look, for a quick laugh, and go have a bid, if you know a little girl between 6-12mths, with a need to look Straight Pimpin'.

I wish I had coffee. Sadly, I am too afraid to get up and go to the kitchen, because I have not been bothered for FIVE ENTIRE MINUTES, and any large movements will certainly break that spell. The same rules that apply to wild dogs, apply to small children as well, you know - do not make eye contact, do not let them sense your fear, and if you remain very, very still, they often lose interest and go away.
Oh, wait...their backs are turned - now's my chance!

Erik Jannsen. Major lulz.

From my Ebay Seller Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is your user id "erikjannsen?" Who is Erik Jannsen?

A: That's a long story, and one requiring a Master Level of Geekery, to really understand. No one in our family is named Erik Jannsen; my name is Tiffani, and my husband is Peyton. "Erik Jannsen" is merely an obscurely clever (and now outdated) way of humilating my husband, which is kind of my life's Great Work.


Heh. Over the past three years, "Erik Jannsen" has bought such manly items as maternity bras, breast pumps, lingerie, makeup and (shudder) VeggieTales dvds.

I will admit that the line in the auction that said "and that's why mommy's big fat head is cut off" almost made me pee my pants.

Why for you make me chase you? You know I read, and comment, and worship the very keys you blog on... so again, why for you make me chase you?

LOL

Although I have no use for children's clothing, this was definitely an amusing trip and well worth it. :)

Umm...keep some of those ultra-cool, god-I-love-this-dress-and-almost-hate-to-sell-it pieces for yours truly...who happens to have a litle girl who will wear 6-12 mth clothes in about 4-10 months...and lives on an island...with no cool kids clothing store around.

Oh no...speaking of the baby..she's looking this way...sshhh..be very quiet...don't make contact...mommy is busy, busy...very serious work going on...there you go...go back to sleep you little evil thing
