Intervention

Ebay is like crack for me.

I log on, thinking I'm just going to look for ONE THING. I spend the next four hours acting like some rabid bargain hound.

I hadn't used Ebay in a couple of years, but the darling boy is close to finishing my yarnoire and I wanted to add some pretty new yarns to the stash--the knitting version of breaking a bottle of champagne on a ship, I guess.

I realize that I have nice yarn in the yarn closet, but as it is all stuffed into various storage cases, I haven't seen some of it in years. Hence, in my mind, this yarn no longer exists.
Self-intervention is necessary. New rule: Fit auctions into budget. As soon as I check on this ONE THING.
