Why does LJ hate me? Hopefully the answer is somewehre in the last few messages, which I am about to read.

TJMaxx, however, loves me, and I got a suit ($100) that makes me look damn skinny, AND a pair of navy blue leather Oscar de la Renta slingbacks for $15! Sweet!! Plus, navy means no need to wear the caramel/camel shoes. :)

I am happy to report that after 6+ months of unemployment, my DH has been offered a job in the subject matter he was hoping for

Woohooo! Go DH!!

What part of "Rent is due on the first. If not paid by the fifth, you will be assessed a late charge." do you not understand?

He expects an invoice? For rent? that's just weird.

t edit to add: Vortex, I did the exact same thing with Book #6, bought it at BWI

Did y'all see the opening of The Colbert Report last night?

If I want to sit down and watch, will there be comfy chairs and popcorn?

That can be arranged.

Aw, damn, someone just mentioned that in the HP thread. I need a YouTube link!

I found a video on ComedyCentral.com, but it had no video. I got the gist, though. Hee.

SEX-AY. Why do I never find these bargains!

I was in Borders to pick up a magazine and there was a kid trying to get his Mom to buy the book "Look! It's 40% off!" the mom was "where's the paperback? I'll buy a paperback. Shouldn't there be a paperback like this ?"

I was poked my nose in and explained that paperbacks come out awhile after hardcovers. "It's so expensive!" "Mom! It's 40% off!" was the discussion when I left.

Aw. They need to go to the library.

I paid full price, but the part of that went to our local volunteer education foundation. They also had folks at the release party collecting any added donations for the foundation.

I'm ok with that.

I was 207th on thhe hold list at my library when I went ahead and bought it.

Every copy at the library is on hold or checked out. They have more on order though.

Our library system has a thing called Hot Picks where they have popular books available for seven-day checkout; the catch is you can't place a hold on them. So I got a copy Saturday morning.

I wonder what they do with the extras. Like, they don't really need to keep three bazillion copies in regular rotation, once the rush is over.
