You're the Highest Bidder

I've done the unthinkable.

I thought I would help my husband out by completing his feedback for him on eBay. I mean, after all, he's gone 12 hours a day and he needs my help.

He ordered a mains adapter for the kids' N64 (there's a long story... about how the oldest son took the console with his belongings but left all the games here-- did he want the games? No, he was thinking of leaving all behind for his brothers, but somehow the console made it to Nevada-- so he shipped it back... why? Because the Hubby thought this old gaming system would be fun to have. To play in all of our spare time.). The last couple of days the boys have been playing every kind of Mario game--giggling, arguing, you know, generally enjoying themselves. Since the adaptor obviously worked, I left feedback for the nice chap who apparently worked hard to get it to us so quickly.

Only, he hasn't even shipped it yet.

The Hubby informs me that the N64 has been hooked up to a transformer while waiting for the mains.
Oops.
Now the way the Universe generally works when ever I am involved, I am fully expecting this transaction to be the 2nd disaster in a 12-year run with Ebay. The first involved a set of retired Stampin' Up stamps, but you don't want to know about that...
You know this guy will be dancing somewhere on some tropical beach, umbrella'd drink in hand with my £5 laughing at what shmucks we are....

And my gratitudes for the day:

• At least it was only £5.
• The wonderful little chocolate cakes that our Post office quit carrying? They're back! (Post Offices here are like a little general store-- it's wonderful!)
• Dog Formerly and currently known as Jake only destroyed a few of the plants in our garden so far.
• Miss Ky helped me part with the VHS tapes my husband wanted to toss. She broke three just today. Thanks Miss Kidzilla.
• I finally get to see American Idol tonight!

It's a start. I'll be more thankful after I've escaped this crazy institute completed my Pub Crawl with friends tomorrow night. (This should be really interesting-- a non-drinker on a Pub crawl... but these people just keep inviting me out... suckers. I told them no camera, but what WILL I do with my hands?! I'm taking a camera). Stay tuned for dark, hard to see photos.
