Hey, Hey it's another shitty Saturday

Good morning and hello to everyone.
Thanks to those of you that stopped by yesterday and said hello.
It was nice to have visitors.

I found some great new blogs to follow yesterday as well. There are a lot of great ladies out there with very unique thoughts and views.

Another shitty Saturday...it's bright and early and I am wide awake. I got sleep yesterday from 11am-5pm. I was up maybe 3 hours before I fell asleep again. I set my alarm and it did go off at 945pm, but instead of hitting the snooze, I turned it off. I was 20 minutes late for work. I am officially an honorary member of the night shift, showing up late and all. I bitched through out hell month that no nurse shows up on time and then I go and show up 20 minutes late. Go figure.

This morning I went on Barnes and Noble dot com to spend my gift card I received from my work crew for my birthday. It is a 25$ gift card. I love me some books. I don't read any specific genre, just what makes me smile when I read the book description. First I had trouble finding a book that I wanted. I am usually a browser in an aisle of books (although they seem to be smaller and smaller aisles nowadays). There's thousands on a web site.

Problem #1-free shipping for book orders 25$ or more. Sounds great right? Unless the books you choose happen to NOT fall into the acceptable books for that deal.

Fine. There is a B&N coupon advertised at the top right hand corner of the screen for 15% off any one item. Thus,

Problem #2-the books I chose didn't qualify for the 15% off either.

I gave up, but left the book that I really wanted in my shopping bag. I will go back later and I will order that book. Or maybe I will just drive to the store and browse. But browsing for me in a book store is dangerous. I am actually mourning the shut down of my fave book store-Borders.

There are no mom and pop bookstores anymore. The big chains are shutting down, which leaves me with what??? Amazon.
