So I am usually suspicious longer than necessary for all things concerning computers and the internet. You may be surprised, considering that my husband is a computer programmer, we own at least 4 if not 5 functioning PCs (I lose count!) and I have a website and a blog. I seem rather computer savvy to a lot of my artist friends. But this is because I’ve been of methodically brainwashed for 13 years! Every time Ed sets things up just so, and I’m able to understand and function with relative ease, he changes things! Then I kick and scream and drag my heels, because I don’t want to learn how to do things all over again. Ed patiently explains how it’s better, and will save time, and be easier in the long run. But I know he is just trying to make me crazy. Can nothing concerning computers ever remain stable?!

This brings me to the real reason for this post, beyond the generic PC tirade. Ed has been putting items for sale on Ebay for a few years at least, if not from the inception of the online auction concept. Like I said, I lose track. I didn’t want to have much to do with it, though I occasionally would help him package an item he had sold. Well, I’ve been eliminating un-needed things in my home, in an effort to de-clutter and streamline. In cleaning out my studio, I ran across a mat cutter that I no longer use. It would be ridiculous to throw it away, because it’s barely been used. I’d barely get anything for it in my summer garage sale, since finding someone who actually needed a mat cutter and would end up at my house on a particular Saturday would be highly unlikely. So, I opted for Ebay. I don’t know what possessed me to decide to do this after all these years, but there I was with my digital camera, mat cutter arranged all display-like looking pretty. Wanting to surprise my husband with my computer prowess, I got onto his Ebay account, and followed the prompts to list my item. When all was done, I showed him my handiwork and he was proud of my efforts.
