50 Day Challenge

Okay, the fifty day challenge started on Saturday. The first of April. It's a family tradition. You can do fifty days of whatever you want, and there are prizes for the strong of heart.

My son is doing 50 days of violin practice. My husband is doing fifty days of cycling. My daughter is doing fifty days of napping (a task assigned to her by my son). They all have their charts underway with their little cursedly thematic stickers. What am I doing? DECIDING. I want to SUCCEED this year where last year I failed miserably to do 50 days of writing 500 words/day. Don't want to do diet -- if I cheat I'm out, and I will cheat. Don't want to do writing -- I really can't write fiction every day or I burn out. I must win.

So since it is now day 3 of the fifty day challenge and I haven't decided what I'm doing yet, which technically means I am out of the challenge, which is an unacceptable result, I have to think of something that I've already been doing, which I can just continue to do. That is... revive my old Ebay nick and sell some things out of Sadie's closet. So I'm going to do 50 days of Ebay. I have listed 3 things, for three days of the challenge so far -- one auction is already over with a favorable result. So be it! It's not noble, or glorious, but to make it interesting I also decided I have to SELL everything that I list. And to make it even more interesting, I think I'm going to set a money goal. But how much can I reasonably be expected to sell in fifty days, when I've only recently freecycled or good-willed almost everything in the house?

I don't *think* I'm allowed to Ebay any children, or any unruly Boston Terriers.

Anybody else want to Ebay fifty things with me?

HERE is my latest offering.

And HERE is the thing I posted yesterday. It already has a bid.
