Chesapeake, Virgina resident Emily McIntire discovered a Corn Flake in the shape of Illinois (no I am not making this up).
Proving that you really can sell anything on E-Bay, Emily’s corn flake fetched a staggering $1350.00 USD.
Not too shabby for a piece of cereal…
must be nice…
A month ago, Christie’s Auction House sold an unused life jacket from the famous Titanic ship for $68,500.
The cork filled preserver is believed to be only one of six left and was recovered from the Halifax shoreline after the ship sank.
I don’t know which thought is more disturbing… that someone shelled out close to $70K for this “memorabilia” or the fact that the life jacket was unused (and 1500 people drowned in that tragedy).
I wonder how many times the person who bought this has seen the movie???
must be nice…
This one’s personal peeps…
A little less than a month ago I gave birth to my second baby (and second boy) 
The last several weeks have been a blur of midnight (and 2am and 5am and whenever am feedings)… I feel like I have peanut butter slathered on my eyelids half the time cuz I can’t seem to open my eyes…
Anyways as I am a new mom with a newborn and a 2 year old, I feel I have a fairly legit excuse for not keeping my blog updated.
And so gentle reader, I am going to make a concentrated effort to post more often.
When I have the time, if I can ever get the time.
Ahhh to have more time.
must be nice…
Just wanting to share the world's ridiculous extravagances...
