Attack of the Ebay Virus, Pt. 2
So I am at work, and I am bored. Have been bored all day. That pretty much explains why I have $164 less than I had this morning.
You see, I haven't been on Ebay since I spent nearly $200 on a J.Crew party dress last Christmas. I had sworn it off. But then yesterday, I started thinking about how I wanted a new cashmere cardigan, and before I knew it, I was on Ebay, bidding on stuff that I had no business bidding on. At the end of today, this is what I have ended up with:
1. One J.Crew cashmere argyle sweater in green (that I don't have to pay shipping on, given the lady who had it lives in Berkeley, and so I will just go and pick it up)
2. One pair of Gap Curvy Flare jeans (my faves). You never know when you need an extra pair of jeans.
3. One small bottle of Dior Addict, my favorite perfume.
4. One NIB (new in box, for the un-Ebay initiated) palette of Nars Orgasm blush. I'm sure that I'll still remain partial to my Benefit Dallas, but everyone loves this stuff, so I'm giving it the old college try.
I am still bidding on...The Owl Bag from Paul and Joe's Target collection. You know the one I'm talking about. It is an "it" bag, and I missed out on it because it sold out all over the Bay Area so fast. So now I'm going to have it. If it costs me another $60, I will have it. I MUST HAVE THAT BAG! Which means that this time tomorrow I will be panting and sweating and cursing the day that Ebay was invented. But I WILL HAVE THAT BAG. I will even pay for the super-fast shipping on that sucker so that come Casual Friday, that bag will be dangling beautifully from my arm. MARK MY WORDS, BITCHES.
In other news, I have developed an overwhelming urge to reinact Clueless on this poor girl that I work with who insists on coming to work with her hair in this sumo-wrestler style ponytail and in these really thick wool blazers with SHOULDER PADS (wow, I love the caps lock today, huh?). Now, wool blazers are ok, I guess, if you live in Maine. But we live in California. There is no need for wool in California. Yeah, it's a little chilly here every once in a while, but thick, cheap wool? Hell to the no. What is the saddest is that this girl is younger than me! And she dresses like my grandmother! I feel bad, because seriously, if I didn't get to dress cute to come to work, well, my job would suck that much harder. In fact, there would be no reason to even show up. I'm being serious here. I mean, I lose so many brain cells just by sitting at this desk all day, the only way I can justify it is to say that at least I look nice doing it.
Lord, I need to go back to school. Growl. I never thought I'd actually be thinking in those terms.
Well, I should go. I have a date with my husband, a six pack of Amstel Light and the Oakland A's.
Go Swisher!
