Oh, dear, I'm in trouble.

My sister discovered the joy a while ago, but me? Just tonight.

Heart pumping, finger on the mouse button, I put my beer down and hunched over my laptop, counting down the seconds. Refresh. Refresh.

YOU WILL NOT BEAT ME, SANDEESEASHELL1218!!! YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME!

Refresh. Refresh. 1 minute, 8 seconds. 1 minute, 6 seconds.

20 seconds.

14 seconds...

My hands are still shaking. I cannot believe this. My heart is pumping, my stomach is still slightly queasy.

Ebay is a drug. Make no mistake.

But I won the vintage metal lawn chairs and matching table.

Eat THAT, SANDEESEASHELL1218.
