Running amok on eBay
I went a little crazy in there, as one of my dentists once (alarmingly) said to me after a very long period of drilling.
I have purchased two used Coach handbags and placed bids on what appears to be a set of four place settings in my stoneware pattern, split up by dish type into four listings. (I bought my china on a whim in my early twenties and didn't buy enough of it. If I invite four people over, one person has to eat on the remnants of my Mom's first china set.)
The bags are one that I always liked the look of (but would never have bought new) and a large leather laptop bag. I need a carryall-type bag that looks professional and disguises the fact that all I'm carrying are my walking shoes, my Morning Pages notebook, and my lunch.
I actually have another bag that I bought from handbags.com that's going back this week for a refund: I bought it, got it, decided it wasn't big enough, and repackaged it for return. So, in my somewhat loopy logic, the money that will be refunded on the purse I didn't like will cover the cost of the used bags I just ordered, which ignores that the purse I'm sending back was also an impulse purchase. An impulse purchase that you've adjusted to the consequences of is almost a planned purchase in retrospect, you know?
Also bought some salt-and-pepper shakers shaped like fish. Because they were adorable.
