Craig's List... This is serious business!

I have been searching day in and day out for a couch for the boys' playroom to no avail... Everytime I find something that looks worth checking out and email the owner I get the same response... "You're too late!"  Too late???  You just posted it this morning!  How on earth could I be too late???  You're not giving away gold for free, are you???  You're trying to sell your somewhat crappy, definitely NOT new, couch for way too much if you ask me!!!  And I'm too late...  So I'm finding myself falling into the Craig's List trap and getting WAY too obsessed with finding that super fantastic deal BEFORE all the other losers like myself that are playing the same silly game... AND I WILL WIN!!!  I remember when Nicholas was 2 years old, and I was not even pregnant with Tyler yet... a similar situation happened...  I had become obsessed with winning bids on EBay...  I won, and consequently bought, 2 double strollers (and yes, I only had one child!  Shut up!), 2 car seat covers (and again, yes, I did not have an infant that would be riding in a car seat and thus using said car seat covers!  Again, SHUT UP!!!), and maybe some other items that I obviously blocked from my memory for good reason... OBVIOUSLY!  So... I'll say it again... I WILL WIN on Craig's List!  I just hope I don't end up with 2 couches!?!  He he!!!!

And this expression on Nicholas' face perfectly captures my feelings about all of those Craig's List sellers that have said I'm too late!
