As Michelle is probably the only reader I have, and as she has left the only comment, I will honor her request for humorous anecdotes.
Unfortunately, as usual, all I have are "stories" of my latest humiliations. For instance, in my latest attempt to be frugal in this whole baby thing, I am attempting to buy an "exersaucer" for Annika. (Sounds like aerobics for Martians.)
Anyway, I unwittingly win a bid for something I had lost interest in and had thought I'd already lost but honor my commitment and attempt to pay. I had NOT checked the ratings for this seller because I am an unexperienced ebay-er and in John's unspoken opinion, should never be left on the Internet alone. So, it turns out this is this seller's first sale, has no rating at all and is based in Poland. After finally successfully paying (seller's fault, not mine) I get a message saying that the seller is no longer a registered user of ebay. Now I've left a stern message expecting satisfaction, but not really expecting any. But at least my non-existent exersaucer cost $25 less than a real, new one.
Not really a humorous anecdote, more a cautionary tale.

Cynthia,
Thanks for the amusing story. By the way, I read your blog.

Not just a used exersaucer, but an imaginary, used, Polish exersaucer. There's a successful movie in there somewhere!
(I read your blog, too.)
Uh-oh - Here I am, supposedly the only reader, and I take a reading hiatus, and get shown up by Megan and Libby. (Hi, Libby!! I wish I had a can of pumpkin glop named after me! How is Boston?)
I hereby recommit being a faithful blog-reader, so that I can continue to dictate the contents of the posts.
Sorry about the exersaucer. (That's why I pretty much only buy stuff on-line from Amazon.) Maybe I could make her one out of a used innertube and some pipe-cleaners?
Michelle
