susandennisSo, I've been watching the DS Lite Locator. It always shows private Amazon sales and eBay but once in awhile one of the others pops up with inventory. Last weekend, ToysRUs had some but by the time I completed my order, they were out again. Circuit City had some the other day, but same deal. I clicked on 'buy', then went to find Brain Age or Big Brain Academy and by the time I got to Add to Cart, the console was gone.
Last night eToys popped up with a black one and I bought it! Yep. I'm onto their tricks now. I got to 'complete my order' and hit the button. Whew. And then I went to see if they had either of the games. I figured I'd do a little comparison shopping. Maybe get a bundle somewhere.
Lo and behold, they have a Blue DS Lite!! Blue is what I really wanted but figured I'd never ever find. By dern it. I bought it, too! I figure I can eBay the black one at a buy it now price that will cover my all my costs.
And, yeah, I would not be nearly as interested if there were a pile of these on the shelf at Target. It's like a hunt for a rare book or antique! I'm not going to breathe easy until I see the tracking number, however.
----------------------------
Work is winding up and while it winds, I'm not so busy. That could change any minute so making long term plans isn't such a good idea but, I do have a plan for today. The kitchen. I have plenty of cupboard and drawer space but the way it's organized, I have no place to put anything!!
So today everything comes out and then we're going to have a purge. I do NOT need 18 dinner plates. There is not going to be a dinner party here. I do NOT need 24 iced tea glasses. Etc. Lookout Goodwill, here I come.
I thought about taking pictures and measurements and heading over to the Storables store but I think I'm going to take everything out, purge and put it back and then see what kind of storables I might need.
---------------------------
My anti-virus software which makes me reboot every other day surprised me this morning by not doing that. hmmmm I was into the rhythm and now, who knows.
---------------------------
I wish it had been one of the white guy astronauts who went whacko.
