I’m alive. Barely.
Just kidding, everything is fine… I have been pursuing another hobby/business over the last few weeks and I am working on getting it up and running. I’m opening an eBay store and I just bought a HUGE collection of Barbies that I am going through and cleaning to sell… It has been a huge project, I bought two boxes full of stuff, but you can fit a LOT of Barbie clothes, shoes, etc. in 2 boxes! I have always loved dolls and I just randomly decided it would be fun to buy some old stuff and clean it up… I am taking the weekend to get it all done and listed… and then I should be able to devote some more time to the site.
I know you don’t want to hear my excuses, etc… but the truth is, I am still getting a lot of hits every day based on my Google rank, and while I feel bad that I haven’t posted and it’s definitely decreased my traffic, I work for myself when it comes to this website so if I need a hiatus, which I admittedly take too often, then so be it. That was a very long run-on sentence.
Believe it or not, I downloaded a TON of pictures to post the other day and I fell asleep with the computer in my lap on the couch!
Oh, and I actually think there is some nutbag who probably reads this site who found my eBay name and has been bidding on my items, etc… I have had to cancel some bids and I’ve gotten some BIZARRE questions from 0 feedback people… it’s just really weird. I’ve been through stuff with psychos before so I can usually sense when someone is trying to F with me. On eBay its especially annoying. Mean comments and emails are one thing, but eBay involves money, feedback, etc. so I have to be really careful.
I’m going to try to get some posts done tonight… we’ll see how that goes!

1Some people have way too much free time on their hands. Perhaps the haters can look into donating all that energy to volunteering at a local library? Or a children’s hospital? Just sayin’…
Your site is fine, Dana. Do it your way. That’s what it’s all about. Good luck with the Ebay thing. I used to sell a bunch of stuff but all it took was one crazy bitch who lost her mind with me in my feedback to burn me out… although the ironic thing is I guess she didn’t realize you could leave return feedback (at that time, anyway.) You’re braver than me :)

2Well, crap. I was sitting here thinking, “I am going to be in the market for some Barbies soon!” My little one is getting to that age. I was going to ask for your seller name until I got to the part about the nutter. One person had to go and ruin it for the rest of us. :(

4Well, you keep slacking with this site that nobody really checks it anymore. So lots of luck with your Barbie project.
