Okay so I have a problem. It is not as bad as it could be….after all it is not as if I am a Crack baby kleptomaniac with a clubbed foot or anything like that. However, I am addicted to shopping, especially shoe shopping. While I have always been able to control this rather primitive female urge, I am now officially off the wagon. I have discovered eBay. I am in such bad shape! 

You see, I have had a bit of a snag with Ubuntu so far. I am having a real problem with my wifi. All of you have been so utterly helpful with suggestions of possible drivers or sites to use, but alas, Ubuntu has proven itself a slug. When I search the net for others with this problem, Ubuntu’s compatibility with my 4318 card, I see that many have had this nightmare and only about 50 of them have solved it. I have finally found the correct driver, but I had a lot of free time to surf on the desk top while my laptop was down. A lot to time to snoop. A lot of time to buy.  The problem is that I don’t even really like the stuff I am bidding on. How many pink elephant trunk slippers does one need? It is the thrill of the hunt. The “What do you mean I have been out bid? I don’t think so! Here take that! Ha ha I have won!” And then there is the little post notice letting you know that you got a package! Ha Ha! Victory and surprise! Someone loves me! 

But in the end it is time consuming and expensive. Some of the stuff fits, some would if I was a smurf, and other stuff just simply should never be allowed to be sold! Ebay is addictive! It is a lethal combination of shopping temptation with the thrill of gambling. Now that my wifi is back up, perhaps I can move on and away from its lure…… 

Now excuse me there is a Panda lamp with my name on it and some silly Australian thinks they are gonna get it with 2 min left…..And the game is on!
