Ebay

Well, you live and you learn. This week I put an item on eBay. Nothing too special, just an old 100MB switch. I was expecting to get 5 bucks for it, on top of shipping. I put shipping at 7 bucks. No bids for most of the week. Looks like somebody sniped it at the very last second for 1 cent. Now I'm just hoping that I can get it shipped for 7 bucks.

• Life Lesson 1: Always set a reserve price if you're not willing to part with something for less than a certain number.
• Life Lesson 2: Always make sure that you set the shipping price for an item to something that will at least cover your expenses to send the item.
• Life Lesson 3: Your crap isn't worth as much as you think it is.....

This has been a fairly good week as far as weight goes. At least it was until today. Sundays are typically my most difficult days. I think this is because, for the most part, we always go over to either my parent's or my wife's parents for dinner. I also have a hard time not snacking throughout the day when there's some wonderful Football to be watched.

My Fantasy team is doing extremely well. 3-0 so far this year, and looking to secure another win this week against my niece from Las Vegas. Barring a spectacular performance on Monday by Donavan McNabb, I should be golden.

Biggest Loser

Well, I just finished watching "Biggest Loser" tonight on TV while my wife was doing her church calling. It's pretty amazing the effort that those people can put forth. I've been trying to lose some weight, but it's been difficult. I'm down significantly from what I was when I first met my wife, but as you can tell if you've seen any recent pictures, I still have a lot to lose. One of the best moments of the show tonight was when one team won a challenge and won the opportunity to call their family. Really made me reflect on what's important in life. As long as I can be healthy and happy and have my family there with me, nothing else really matters.
