It's late, I'm rushing and in hysterics

I really REALLY want to buy myself a new digital DSLR. It’s a Canon 40D. It is about $1,499.00 - EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE – BUT it comes with a $500.00 lens as well as other perks within the camera.

Tonight – I have decided to go ALL OUT and put my truck, my light set and a few other knicky-knacks on Craigs’ List, (Light Set, Truck, a Computer Monitor, Cola, Canon 18-55 lens, Jeff, 35mm Canon SLR…).

After placing my first ad for the $400.00 Westcott Light-Set that Jeff got me for Christmas, I rec’d this really kind email from someone who is apparently really ‘on the ball’ at 10:30pm on a weeknight:

“Hello,
I thought you may want to know that your kit is $359 on eBay ... Hope this info may help you to sell it faster.
Thanks,
Mark

I thanked him for his consideration and reminded him that I was in fact taking offers; then I laughed it off and went on my merry way – by posting more ads.

Shortly thereafter – I rec’d this email regarding a $20.00 computer monitor that I’m trying to keep out of the dumpster:

“I think I saw this same ad on e-Bay for $0.50
Cheers,
Your #1 Stalker

I absolutely love the fact that I can rely on my friends for a HYSTERICAL laugh!!! My #8 New Years’ Resolution has sure been tried & tested a lot lately!!!

Jeff is in San Diego and he’s whooping it up with the people from his company – and others from the Pet Industry. He got to play golf today at the infamous "Torrey Pines". Tonight, he was going to meet up with Anipet at a Dueling Piano Bar – but they did not show. I really miss these trade shows. I wish I were there - I’m jealous. Jeff just looks so cute when he's working!!!
H-O-T!!! I met him at a show!!!

I am going to go see him tomorrow night – straight from work…if he’ll have me. I have to come home later in the evening though – as I have work on Friday to go to. I’ve asked him to meet me at a truck stop along the I-5 for a Valentine's Date…how romantic. HAHA!!!

Thank you Michele, Hailey and Jake for having me for dinner tonight! It was a great night – eating and watching “Biggest Loser”!!! Their new kitty Joey got a mani & pedi from me too and he’s sooooooo frigging cute!!!

Update: I checked out eBay and my 2-light kit is in fact $379.00 - but the guy didn't take into consideration that you also have to pay for shipping on eBay - $57.00...bringing the light kit purchase from eBay to $436.00!!

IMPORTANT REMINDER - Please remember to put your contacts in tomorrow morning. You do not want to mistake some strange homeless man and his shopping cart for Jeff and his box of chocolates in your haste to meet up with him at you 'hot date' truck stop.

I cant beleive people have nothing better to do than check out prices of other people's stuff. That is so lame but at the same time, the comments are so funny!!!

I hope your Valentines date was special!!!
