fourteen minutes...

just sitting here, monitoring a bid that i put in for an audiobook that lois is needing - The S*cret Life of Bees. recently, she borrowed the tape set from one of her friends, who had borrowed it from one of her book club pals. well, wouldn't ya know it... the second to the last tape was eaten by the ancient boom box that lois was playing it on. so, we have spent a couple days seeking out a cheap replacement. and, so far, we've come across sets for around $12-$15 (incl. shipping). unfortunately, i was narrowly beat out by another for the first one that i put a bid on. that's okay because i was expecting him to do a last minute thing, as so many people do (including myself). the only reason that i had hoped to win was because of the proximity; the seller was in Littleton. i could have picked it up and saved some postage...ah well.

and now, we're down to eight minutes before the end of the auction. wish us luck. brb
