View from My Window

Happy Valentine's Day! I added some love songs to the top of the playlist today. If you've never heard Andrea Bocelli's Con Te Partiro (I Will Go with You), take a listen. I think it's one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard. I wish my husband could serenade me with a voice like that!! Above is the view from my window while he'd be singing.

So, OK, obviously I'm dreaming. Below is the actual view from my window, taken yesterday. I worked from home yesterday because I've been fighting strep and a cold (and, oddly, I almost broke my kneecap last night!! When it rains, it pours). I feel better today, but I actually did get a lot of work done from home.

Yes, I am going on the eBay strike with many of my boutique friends. I accidentally re-ran a 10-day auction or else I'd have nothing up next week (I thought it was a 7-day auction and I couldn't change it since I received a quick bid). The new feedback system is dreadful for honest sellers, and I didn't appreciate the company pretending to lower prices when they actually raised them by dramatically increasing the final value fee. I can't say that the strike will hurt eBay at all, but I feel compelled to participate.
