Back To Ebay

Well, there ya go. I'm back on ebay, just like that. I hate that I need ebay. Currently, I'm surrounded by a sea of pink though and I have no other way to wade through it than by hopefully finding it a new home on ebay. I'd live with the sea of pink though.....if my kids weren't so damn cute.

Can I help it that everything they want for Christmas I want to find and give them? Can I help it that I was behaving so well and not using the credit card and then one visit to playmobil.com, quickly followed by a visit to utoypia.com, undid all the good I did? How can I not buy the cutest little hot dog stand, or vending machine, or butcher shop, or produce market, or post office you've ever seen? I don't make the rules about playmobil being too cute to resist, someone should do something about that. Seriously. I'm looking everywhere for something I can sell that's going to go for big money because there is a new playmobil pyramid that my daughter shouldn't have to live without. Granted she doesn't know that it exists, because it's a German exclusive, but I know it exists and trust me, she can't live without it. Where I'm going to come up with $200 for it, followed by another $100 for the completely adorable adobe style house, I just don't know. Not to mention the fact that all the shopping I did (and want to do) is completely unnecessary because I'm soooo done with them.

Some of my crazy playmobil shopping arrived today, I'm quite upset that I have to wait until Christmas to give it to the kids. I know they are going to go crazy when they see it, and quite frankly, so will I. And let's face it, I'll spend big bucks with playmobil happily because the stuff is darling, high-quality, unique, and most of all.....not made by Mattel!
