I feel like I didn't have too much to say, but I did it!

I think I'd be celebrating (as soon as I'm out of eyesight of the seller, of course) for that deal on that plush! Incredible!

I usually don't buy gifts, but this year both of my parents, my sister, and my fiance had specific requests so I bought those for them. Then I bought my baby cousin a cute Rudolph plush!

My mom always kept me and my siblings' baby teeth in small boxes for each of us, and I kept my wisdom teeth, too, so I always thought that was normal. Glad to see it kind of is? One seven leaf clover and one eight leaf clover that I found, but one of them was buried in a 'time capsule' in the yard years ago.  A letter that was stamped in England with a special announcement for when one of the royal babies was born, I think, forget which one, just a few years ago. Several unusual coins and dollar bills since that is what I used to collect. And some books printed in the 1800s. Oh, and used wallpaper from my old house, just in rolls.

- Money.
- New phone case after wearing mine out for ~5 years.
- More ponies (I did actually ask for a few pony related things, but mainly just waiting on pony things I already bought to arrive as a present to myself).
- And books (also bought myself).
- One of these days I'm going to get a metal detector so I can finish cleaning up the woods around my house!
I was already told I'd get house necessities from family and what I asked my fiance for I'm sure he forgot :p

I wouldn't trade my collection for anything tangible. While I do collect other things, none of them as avidly. If I had wanted to spend money on other things instead of the ponies, I would have.  I like people's answers about a house, though. I do still need one of those... Wonder why?

I got really behind last week because someone gave me their cold that they claimed was just allergies so I managed a few words on a couple of days but now I'm only at 32k so unless I get a major flow going, I don't think it's going to happen this year. But I did get a lot done on the fic I've been trying to finish so it's not a total loss. 
That's really good! I never made up for the 10,000 I was behind and I didn't get as much as I wanted to done around Thanksgiving so I ended up at around 32k as well!  I've always been a short story person, so I had four in a series going on at once. I almost completely completed one of the four stories I was working on, and am most of the way through two others, with the other one kind of meh so far. It was the only one of the four I didn't really know what I was going to write going into it, so I was, and still am, procrastinating on it.

I'm looking at my editing and considering why there isn't a Nano-unwrimo to balance out the writing targets
I have successfully removed around 12k words from my story in the last couple of days and frankly, that's an achievement because the word count was well over where I wanted it to be.
I don't think I'd want to unwrite 50k as a target, but honestly, writing more effectively is my general writing goal, and tightening up my prose feels like a victory to me.
That's what December's for, lol! I guess you really can't put a word count to how much you get rid of or that'd get chaotic. Maybe a percentage? I've fallen a few days behind on my writing target.  I'd been handwriting pages and then going back to type them up and edit and add more, but I had fallen behind on typing and spent a few days catching that up. Here's to writing an extra 10,000 somehow this week on top of the daily goal!

There were a few ponies that I was so worried about missing but managed to end up getting in lots or thrifting later.
But, I do have one story. It wasn't a My Little Pony pony, but it was a handmade horse figurine. I missed getting one when it was first sold by the maker and was pretty bummed, but later the buyer resold her to me! The buyer and I had been talking for a while before that since we were in the same handmade figurine community, so she was nice enough to offer her to me when she decided to sell it. And that is a one of a kind figurine!
So, I wouldn't lose hope. You never know when one of those rare ponies will just so happen to pop up again!

whoa :-) fantastic accomplishment  
now the big question = any idea how you are going to display everyone?
Right now I don't have any display space, so unfortunately they're all in a box. I'm going to be moving out next year, though, so I have been thinking of how I would. A whole wall of them all would be impressive, but I feel like for space reasons, so I can fit the rest of the pony collection, and so I don't have to bother with individually hanging them, I could maybe have them lined up on a shelf at an angle. That way they don't take up as much room but they can still be seen. It might be hard to get the right angle since some face one way versus the other and they are at the center of the packaging. I've also thought about having them just straight lined up facing the viewer, with like risers so I could layer them all. I've seen people do that before and it would probably be best to see them all. Regardless, hopefully I can fit them behind some glass/plexiglass door, so they don't get dusty, and then maybe even curtaining that off so the sun doesn't hit them, depending on where the window is. For some odd reason I'm terrified of the clear plastic getting messed up.

I don't know where in the algorithm it decides to flag it but maybe eBay just flagged it as suspicious because you suddenly started selling things, which I know sounds weird. But I know someone who just casually put up a listing on Facebook Marketplace once and it got their whole Facebook of many years shut down. I don't even remember what it was, but I think it was like a piece of furniture or equipment.
I was going to say maybe it was something about the anime girls but just about anything will get listed and be just fine, so I don't know there :p
At least you can shop on eBay as a guest? I'd still try to see if someone else on their end can properly review it and fix it but it does sound like they aren't much help :/
