wow, something nice happened & Sept. books
Oct. 2nd, 2006 10:32 pmThat's so rare lately.
I won a $40 gift card to Barnes & Noble! My local library had an adult summer reading club this summer and to register for prizes, you had to do book reviews. I did several and entered at two different branches :) They called me this morning to tell me! Woo! They also took my picture, which isn't a woo, but... :> So I went to B&N and spent my gift card - overspent, of course - but I got $72.34 worth of books (and a snack from the cafe) for $32.34. Not bad! Except, of course, for the fact that I spent $30something at B&N a few days ago too. :o
I got the new Dick Francis and the Honor Harrington books that I didn't have - and a couple more things too.
I also ordered a new computer desk from Office Depot and a new 19" flat screen monitor from Circuit City - I needed the desk and after rolling a humongous amount of quarters that my late parents had been saving (they liked to hit the slots occasionally), I had an extra $280. So instead of doing the sensible thing and saving it, I decided to get a monitor :)
( Onto the books )
That is all
