There may be hope.....

I finally got an email back from my builder... They just might.. And it is a big maybe have the house finished at the end of June... Hopefully the people who picked dates in July for baby to be born in our baby pool at work are right.

I am hoping and secretly want nothing more for my house to be somewhat ready before my first baby comes.. I must say that I love stress or something as John and I always seem to do the most stressful things in life at the same time. We built a house and planned a wedding and now we had to see if we could out do ourselves and build another house and have a baby. Wow some might call us smart even!

So keep your fingers crossed for me and hope that house comes before baby..

New Addicition ...Ebay

So my friend has been raving about how great EBay is and all the great cheap stuff she has bought for her wedding. She has been telling me to try it out for some time now. Thing is I was/am a chicken. I am still one of the believers of not putting your credit card number on the Internet. It just freaks me out. Never mind that I pretty much do everything else online like online banking.

Okay since work has been extremely slow I thought I will just search for some baby items on EBay. What's the harm? Well this just opened up a whole other world. I can bid on a new Baby Bjorn for like $5.00 they retail for like $150.00!!

Wow now what?? I start to search for a cool diaper bag.. I find this wonderful hand made silk bag and the starting bid is $2.00. Okay I can do this I figure worst case scenario I lose $2.00. So I set up an account and place my bid... Yeah I am the current highest bidder at $2.25. So I watch all day and track other items I am watching. So this becomes a great time killer its even better then face book.. The auction closes and I win my beautiful bag for the great price of $2.25.

Now I have to pay and this is where I learn my first lesson of EBay.. Dumb me doesn't look at shipping or anything else for that matter. My new $2.25 bag now has a shipping price of $18.00. WTF? Why so much to ship from the States... Well now I see that the item is from China.. Good job.. So what I thought was a steal has now become a little more pricey then it should have been.

Oh well my bag is pretty. Now I just have to convince my husband to carry it... He seems to think that because we are having a boy that we need a boy bag. But my theory is I am the one carrying it so I get to have whatever type of bag I like!!!

I guess my lesson is and live and learn.. Now I must say shipping is the first thing I check.. I now have a bid in on a Baby Bjorn ..
