Several years ago, during the Christmas season, Target was selling various china patterns. One of them was a beautiful one that I lusted after but it was during the dark days of lack of fundage (190 Hoosick days). After Christmas I went back to the store to find discounted goods but everyone else in the capital area had the same idea as myself and nothing was left for me, except a bowl that I often use for special occassions. My brother was kind enough to buy me a package of 4 mugs with saucers, and I put them away and haven't used them until I can make at least a 4 person setting.

Recently on Ebay, there was an auction of a 90-pc set around $350. I didn't buy it because that's a lot of money, everyone else seemed to have the same idea. So it went back up for auction for $300 and I decided that I would bid on it, I now have the money and was going to bid on it today. I go to the page, and someone bought it for the Buy It Now price. Needless to say, I'm crushed, beyond any expression. I had figured everything out in my head and due to my lack of response, I lost it. It's sort of like letting your money ride on a sure bet but losing it all and having Bubba the Kneebreaker knocking on your door.

I shouldn't be all caught up in materialistic goods, but if I were to ever be in possession of a china pattern, this is the most absolutely perfect one for me. Like Charlier in the Chocolate Factory, why should other kids get it when I deserve it the most? Because yes, it's all about me. It was a personal afront to me that that person has good taste and is not allowing me to have fancy schmancy parties with nice china.

Well, I'll bid on the two dinner plates and keep watching auctions for the goods. But I sincerely hate ebay for the insecurity of these items. And I hate Sakura for discountinuing the pattern.
