Concurred and Conquered

Ebay is filling up my inbox and emptying my savings. but winning me cool stuff.

Which reminds me.

Today I have conquered a lot of things. I think it's important to make an effort to conquer small things on a regular basis so when the big things come, like beating people in marathons, 5ks or bets with actual wagers, your competitive spirit is well trained and your inner self doesn't need much convincing to have the confidence of knowing you'll come out on top. That's why I do it. Not to mention you get that feeling that I imagine Kevin Macallister got when he faced the furnace in Home Alone and you can say 'eh..shut up.' and go up your basement steps without fear.

Here are some things I can cross off the list for today..including, but not limited to (because the day's only half over):

Ebay. I might be counting my items before the auction's over, but I think it's safe to say I have 4 awesome highest bids on 4 awesome items. Awesome. If you see me wearing some awesome shirts in the next 7-10 days, you'll know they were awesomely conquered through ebay. (somebody told me I say 'awesome! nice! and perfect!' at work a lot. So I'm getting it out of my system.)

Fax machine. It scared me week 1. It intimidated me week 2. But here I am, week 7 and I have successfully sent W-9's to drug screening locations across the US without getting FAIL flashing across the screen.

Ranch. Anyone who knows me knows that 99% of condiments are a no-go. The last time I had ketchup was at McDonald's sometime in high school. Just not a fan. Imagine my surprise when I walked away from the cafeteria with a salad complete with..ranch dressing. Once the gagging reflex ceased, I was good to go.

So there you have it. Do you feel like you just wasted your time? Me too. So here's something that will make it worth while for both of us.
