I said screw working

[cornerofmadness]

L. invited me to go to Huntington shopping and I know I'll regret it later but I ran. We were gone all day. Olive Garden took forever and I made two costly mistakes today. We went to Hobby Lobby but I found nothing I wanted. At Ellen Berman's I found a Clinique bonus so bought blush (I had dropped my nearly finished one on the floor and it exploded everywhere this morning). That was pricey enough but it lasts forever.

Went to Books a Million and there were 2 local authors there, one who writes ghost books and one who writes WV mysteries. Older guys, my age or a little older. They were nice. We chatted about their books, my books, the overlap of ghosts, mysteries and erotica and I bought one book apiece not realizing the soft cover small press books were 20 & 25$ a piece. Yikes. While taking my coffee order, BAM tried to talk me into their card for 20$. I said still recovering from Borders and their free card. "well it was only coupons and NOT a discount every time.' yes but I would have to spend 200$ to make it back. Blinks blinks. She didn't get it. Took a half hour to get me a coffee too! Cashier had the same response. I said I would have to spend a lot to make it back. Yes like 100 or 150$. No, son, 10% would need 200 dollars...never mind. NO CARD. I'll get B&N first since I'm mostly in Columbus or Pittsburgh and if they have a BAM I've never seen it.

The second costly mistake was Petco. I made L make a special trip there to get frontline. SIXTY dollars. I should have jsut bought the shit at my vets or on line. good god. I got some litter to and we both considered getting bettas. Went to Krogers and splurged on a pint of So Delicious coconut milk ice cream, pomegranite chip.

Now I'm exhausted.

Hey I nearly forgot. I've been featured on SJD Peterson's blog. Check out my responses to some romantic questions. Check out my promoed stories. Go back daily since she's doing this with all kinds of authors all month long! featured!

Sounds like a fun day, regardless.

I keep talking myself out of bettas, too.

What are the local author books about?

Yeah, at the Petco stores I usually only buy J's Science Diet dry, but if I need to buy filters for the water fountain or Frontline, I generally order those online through the Discover card link so I get 15% cash back, and then I wait until there's a sale. The price of Frontline is ridiculous!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is. And I wanted to switch to advantage since frontline is doing shit, but that goes by weight so that would have been 120$ just to cover all 3 cats since Soul is so much less weight wise

it was

i keep thinking they would be fun in the office

one was a mystery set on the WVU campus I believe and the other is about ghost stories in coal mines

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I had an office...but I think bettas need to be fed every day. Would you be bringing him home each weekend?

Interesting.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's part of the problem

i hope so especially with the cost of one of them!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]
