I know I said a few days ago that "tomorrow" I would post more details about my eBaying. Like about my username change and aboutme page and placemarked pagesToday is not that day.

... because I am a very busy, very lucky, very happy girl.

On Thursday I finally got my first items onto eBay, thus achieving a goal of seven years, under my new username of starseverywhere.
