Confessions of an Ebay-aholic

Well, I did it...

I quit Ebay. Cold turkey. Deleted my "watch list" and signed out. I am seriously addicted to Ebay, that's where I buy 99% of Jillian's clothes. I do get some great deals, but the problem is that I overbuy TONS of stuff, there are things she's outgrown that she's never even worn, and I am just way too caught up in the "thrill of the win". It's almost like when I played the slot machines in Vegas, that excitement... are you going to get the deal??? Don't get me wrong, I'm not insane, like whoever paid $102 for a pair of used toddler "Toy Story 2" pajamas, but for now Jillian has all the winter clothes she could possibly need and I have no business spending any more money on all that crap.

I suppose if I were really serious about giving up the E-diction, I would delete my account, but with all the stuff I've bought over the past year, I'm going to list some of it and try and sell it when we get back from up north. Maybe recoup some of the "investment".

I just don't want one of Jill's earliest memories of me to be my back to her, while I'm at the computer, saying "Just a minute, Mommy's trying to win the Gymboree shirt for you!". How lame is that.

And speaking of Jillie Bean, I hear her waking up, so I'll leave this for now... Don't want her to remember "Just a minute, while Mommy posts on her blog," either!
