I've been asked some strange eBay and non-eBay questions… Here's a few of them:
Are those ALL your children, and do they have the same father? My answer? Yes, and yes.. but different mothers. Then I walk away quickly… because WHO ASKS that kind of question… Do they have the same father? Are they saying I have questionable morals? Or maybe that there's no way one man could have sex with me 7 times?
What's the best thing you've ever sold on eBay? Hmm.. I wonder if that means the best (most money) or the best (as in it made me happy)… I'm going to go with a combo of the two. I purchased a Mario Lemieux game day hockey stick at an auction for $1.00 BUT I had no idea that it was anything more than a hockey stick because it was wrapped in black plastic. When I unwrapped it I was pleasantly surprised. I sold it for $488.00
What's the one thing you'd change about yourself? I'm 85% happy with myself. But if I could change something I would say either my weight or that I would love fruits and vegetables, and to run.. I want to be happy about running.
Do you leave feedback for every transaction? No, if I don't like you for some reason, I will not leave you feedback… because according to eBay rules, if you can't say something nice (positive) then don't say anything at all.
Why do you post what you do daily on your blog? I have a lot of people ask me "how do you do everything you do?" It's a pretty simple answer.. I write a list everyday.
Is there one country that you wish you didn't have to ship too? Yep.. Canada. I seem to have the most problems with Canadian buyers. I'm not sure why.. one day I'll tell you the "pink poodle" story, and you'll know.
Mom, which one do you love more? I love you all equally. (that's what I tell them 😉 )
Have you ever bit your toenails? No, but I use to give my sister a $1.00 for putting her big toe up her nose.
Do you have any regrets? HMMM… I usually regret staying up too late.. but my biggest regret is not meeting and marrying the Man sooner.. we would have had 15 kids by now! OH.. and I regret not loving to exercise.
Do you sell for other people? No, not really. I'm not very good at it, and when I do, I'm always worried I will let the person down.
Here’s more information than you really wanted to know about me…
1. What was your favorite childhood television program? I loved “I Dream of Jeannie”… “Gilligan’s Island” and the “Brady Bunch”. My mom would let me watch them when I got home from school if I didn’t get a check mark next to my name for talking in class. Also, “I Dream of Jeannie” prepared me for saying “Yes Master!” to The Man. 😉
2. Are you a morning or night person? Night. I think move and act better in the evening. A perfect day for me would be waking up at 9:00 am taking a nap at 2:00PM and going to bed at around 1:30AM or 2:00AM. (yes.. I am a freak show)
