Sweet Catastrophe

In between all the cleaning today, I’ve spent hours on eBay. I’m trying to hard to get the gifts I want for Ryan. Kristi asked me how he gets so many cool presents–yeah they come at a cost! lol

I get an idea and I have to run with it. It’s hard enough for me not to run out to a store, buy a gift and give it to him immediately. Doing all this shopping around and then still having to wait until Christmas kills me.

I’ve spent so much time on eBay…I wish I hadn’t been clearing out my Watch list along and along–I’d like to be able to tell you the exact number, but I think so far in this search, I’ve probably had 50+ items on the list to keep up with.

It gets frustrating.

I’m starting to look for backup gifts now. I’ve already got him a little knife set–it’s nothing expensive–just a stocking stuffer. I’m looking into the possibility of some Ingersoll Rand air tools, or some of the sets we have, maybe even some big dvd sets. Tools are a definite standby, but I’m really iffy about those. I know he’d get excited over them, but right now he wouldn’t have much opportunity to use them, and there’s nowhere to store them. The option’s there though.

I’ve got an offer in right now on one of his gifts. They’ve got 13 hours to respond–ah scratch that–someone just bought the damn thing. Oh well!

I’m just ready to get these straight. I can’t tell you how determined I am to get ‘em.
