The Spitting Mom and My Top EBay Sells of the Week

When I was 19 years old, I had a horrible case of bronchitis. I was living in my own apartment, working as a nanny and didn’t have health insurance. I was certain I could fight it on my own, but when I started going delirious from all the coughing, I went to a doctor.

But the damage was already done to my bronchial tubes.

For almost 20 years now, I’ve had bronchial asthma. It’s not as bad as real asthma.

I don’t have attacks.

I mainly have shortness of breath due to constant mucus that builds up in my bronchial tubes.

Because of this constant build-up, I am a spitter.

I have to spit or I can’t breath.

It isn’t my best feature, but I can hawk a loogie like nothing else.

The other day I was doing the dishes and the desire to spit came on pretty strong.

I started the guttural clearing of my throat and spit into the garbage can.

Chandler had a friend over, who just at that time was walking through the kitchen.

And he gave me the weirdest look.

And I realized, “I need to use some discretion here.”

I can’t help but use my personal experiences and memories in my writing. I have no shame.

I am currently working on the novel, “Stories of a Some-what Successful Junk Collector.”

The mother in the book is a bit quirky. And she spits.

Here are my top EBay sells of the week.

Excuse me while I clear my throat.

Abercrombie & Fitch jeans are a cultural phenomenon. These size 6 jeans were found at Mesa Thrift and sold last week on EBay for $31.00. Aren't they cute.

You know about my love/hate relationship with J. Jill. Sometimes it sells, other times it bombs. I found this J. Jill long jean jacket (size 14) at a posh yard sale. The owner was super classy, just like all J. Jill lovers. I posted this $1.00 purchase for $24.99 and it sold to a lucky J. Jill fan, who lives someplace other then our 80 degree Phoenix, Arizona.

I knew this Ralph Lauren White Large Sweater would be a great sell. I rarely find them, especially in this great of condition. It's like new. It sold for $25.59.

If you're out shopping at a thrift store and you see anything Harley Davidson, grab it. It always sells. Ebay has a huge fan base of Harley Davidson fans. I found these jeans at Goodwill. Enjoy, to the lucky buyer who paid $24.99 for them.

It always amazes me when I find a shirt this clean, this nice, and it has the tags from just being picked up at the dry cleaners. So, this shirt was either donated by a dry cleaner company who had left over items that hadn't been picked up (this actually happens often), or some well-to-do lady has all her clothes professionally cleaned before donating to Goodwill. This Ralph Lauren Size 1X gorgeous shirt sold for $29.00.

Ebay was rocking last week. I had great sells and a high quantity of sells.

Next week I'm starting give-aways. Become a follower and you'll be qualified to win. Have a happy day.
