I'm creating this post as part of my constant quest to hush my life. Thank you to Dawn from Minimal Mom for teaching me this concept! We hushed Zac's room a few days ago, so that he would wake up New Year's Day with a beautiful and quiet space. And now I am hushing my eBay shopping cart!
Many many years ago, I found a fantastic vintage bookseller on eBay and put a ton of books in my cart, saved for later. I think we were still living in the house on Diamond Court, so that would be when Natalie was 5. She's 22. So it has been a while. eBay has dutifully kept them in my "saved for later" section of my cart as all the links slowly broke over time. I just couldn't bear to remove them because I thought somewhere in my mind that I might track them down later and how would I do that without the title and author?
Likely I will never hunt down these books, but I still do love to read all the titles of the listings. And just in case I will want to have this list later, I decided to make it a blog post. And then I deleted them from my eBay cart!
92 books!
