Deb — Mon, 07 May 2012 22:04:34 +0000

We are officially one week into the new month, and hopefully you have started adding to your eBay sales that 'reverted' to zero on May 1st! I've been thinking a whole lot recently regarding selling on eBay, my warehouse crammed full of stuff and the hamster wheel that goes round and round and round...It's like chasing a money carrot.

Well, the burning question of the day seems to be: "Where is the Pieces Scrabble Kit?" Unfortunately, I think a BETTER question at the moment is: "Where's Deb?" The short answer is ... I was going along just fine, and then ... I fell in a hole! Since I've ALWAYS been honest and upfront about my life and me in general, I'm going to 'come clean' AGAIN.... → Read More

You all KNOW that I usually practice what I preach, but alas, in this story I did NOT and sadly, it doesn't have a happy ending.

What's got me all charged up? Career Day! If you are not privy to what Career Day is all about, it is a day when Mommies & Daddies go into the school and make a short 15 minute presentation about what they do to earn an income. → Read More
