The eBay Recession Diet or how I lost 5 lbs, my money and my sanity

This is an actual conversation - me and Kat in a planning session for our next joint project - an ebay diet book -

Beth: so we're doing "empty nester meals" again - which means left overs from the freezer or sandwiches. I've lost 5 lbs between this and being poor
LOL


kathysimpson: Hey, more than one way


kathysimpson: you could probably write a diet based on that and sell it, LOL

And that's the way it goes...


Hello Folks!

Last week I told you I was opening an Auctiva Merchant Store. Well right after that announcement, my computer crashed! I had all my pictures and descriptions I needed to start setting up my store.

At the moment, I'm trying to find any I may have elsewhere; I have several Data sticks, so hopefully...

I am using my daughters laptop, and let me tell you it's quite the experience. I'm not fond of the lap top itself, but I sure do like the fact I can sit on my porch and work (see pic)...it's interesting, and I'm not stuck in the house.

But this lap top is small, and it's hard for me to see some things; her zoom is getting a workout! LOL

Any how, I'm hoping to contact Auctiva tomorrow ( Monday, July 6, 2009). I'm going to explain my dilemma and see if I can get an extension on my 30 day free trial. Wish me luck!
