Digression

Okay, SO random. Seriously, I opened this post to start talking about my latest obsession with ebay considering I have two tickets to this weekend's Vandy-UF game up for sale that Cliff won for us at a work function a couple of weeks ago. But I can't talk about that yet because I just discovered something wonderful that maybe only I will ever care about.

Do you remember LaRue? Well, I do. Seriously, two of the most talented musicians ever to grace the world that is Christian music - the brother-sister duo Philip and Natalie LaRue were absolutely one of my favorite groups back in the day. My iTunes player randomly selected a song from their album "Reaching" and I was taken back immediately to that place - such clarity and purpose, vision and passion in their music that really transformed my artistic hopes. Seriously. So yeah, the song came on and I realized I hadn't kept up with their seperate lives after quitting the duo deal a couple of years ago (not a bad thing, they both got married, etc. etc.) And what do you know, Philip's got his own deal going on. I was disappointed to not be able to find much on Natalie but I'm sure married life is treating her well. Oh, except that last year both Philip and Natalie made appearances on this here album Yeah, exciting and completely causation for my digression from ebay (which is probably a good thing).

I originally ventured here to expose my greedy tendencies and tell how we lost the first auction because we upbid our own product (smaaaaart) and this time around things are doing much better though we're making almost half of what we almost did the first time around. That's a lesson for you in gambling and ebay addiction. It's amazing how it sucks you in - and it's also amazing how many possible ways there are in this world to sell used items (see craigslist and half.com for further proof). I also discovered, yesterday, a handy-dandy little site for selling goods, which is cause for a little inspiration for selling handmade and crafty-like items I dream of cooking up one day. Ah... how to make money selling things definitely is not my area of expertise.

And now it's time for me to check on the latest bids on our tickets and listen to some more LaRue. Niiiiice.
