DORK ALERT!

So I was on the hunt for an image to include in the blog when I stumbled upon an eBay auction for Trivial Pursuit Genus II edition. I didn't recall ever SEEING such an edition, so I was intrigued at what sort of price such a rare (?) item might be fetching.

At that moment: $2.99 (with five-ish hours left in the auciton)

"PFFFFFFF!!! I can do better than that..." I thought.

Now, it's at this point, I should tell you that I've hardly ever bid on anything on eBay (I did snag my own Whosit game a couple years back, though... SCORE!). I generally don't have the time/energy to keep an eye on how someone else's actions just affected me online. Anyone who's ever had a pillow fight with me on Facebook knows I'm a relatively easy mark.

ANYWAY... I put in a $5 bid figuring some geek watching that particular auction would swoop in at the last minute anyway and win the item while I was at "The Dark Knight." That's generally what happens to me.

But guess what? I won. Of course I did! I'm leaving town for two weeks on Thursday! Of course I'm having to figure out how to get a package mailed to me WHILE I'M ON VACATION. *sigh*

Someone on the Google Groups called me Gina the Genius, for creating this blog, I think. All evidence to the contrary.

Thanks for playing. :-)

UPDATE: A friend of mine helped me arrive at a most obvious answer to my dilemma: Have it delivered to my office. Nar. I knew that. ... OK, I didn't.
