    I'm really annoyed with myself.

    I used the B&N Black Friday 30% off coupon to buy myself the new HP paperback box set. It was already discounted on the website, and with the coupon it ended up being less than $40. Score!

    Well, it arrived yesterday and it was the WRONG COVERS. I went back and looked at my order and, sure enough, I ordered the wrong ones. Why did I do this? I have eyes...I can see. I could see these were not the covers I wanted. Why did I order something that was totally wrong? Was it just Black Friday fever?

    So now I have to return them, and it's a total waste of the coupon. Luckily I just got a 25% coupon in my email. It won't be as cheap, but at least I'll get the right thing. Jeez. Fail.

    So I'm cruising through Craigslist looking for somewhat normal people to work in Seattle today when I spot the ad from someone looking to work in a werehouse.

    Werehouse.

    I think I figured out where the werehedgehog goes at night.

    I saw a local auto repair shop advertise break repairs last weekend.

    I just spent $40 on 3 tins of loose leaf tea. Two of them are a ginger refresher tea. It is the most heavenly scented tea I have ever smelled. I may be a tea addict.

    In this ad, this person gets dizzy when overstressed.  Way to sell yourself there, my friend.

    I really need to read the three library books that I have that are due back on December 16. But, I foolishly started The Sea of Tranquility that was on my kindle, and I cannot stop reading. At least I can renew two of the three library books, right?

    I know what they are actually advertising but I giggle when I see repair shops say "tranny repairs". Really? There's no better way to advertise that?

    The weather is supposed to suck big time on Sunday, and I am conflicted because this weekend is probably our busiest weekend at the museum for the year due to our Christmas event, which means the big admissions and store revenue potential may be squashed due to ice and freezing rain.  This will also mean one of two things: either everyone will come on Saturday and I'll want to go throw myself in front of the excursion train by the end of the day and/or we'll lose a lot of revenue because we'll be closed Sunday (but that means a day off for me).

    I was feeling dizzy and nauseated last night.  There was a slight burning smell but I couldn't determine if it was coming from our furnace or outside.  I turned off the heat and was thankful that it was going to be in the 60's today.
    Called the oil company and they came out and found soot everywhere.  And...a dead bird making a blockage. 
    I kind of cried.

    There's a guy I pass on my way to the train some nights with a sign saying he's unemployed and looking for help. He usually says to people as they are walking by "have a nice night" or "have a nice *insert day of the week* night folks". I can't tell if he's being serious or sarcastic

    I won tickets from a radio station to see Matt Nathanson next Friday. I can't even concentrate. Y'all KNOW I'm a crazy stalker-y fan of his. Actually, I'm seeing him twice next week, we already had tickets to a show Thursday night, and then won them for Friday night (a show you CAN'T buy tickets for. YAHOOOO!

    I'm going to continually buying Christmas decorations and putting them up around the house.  I don't plan on stopping until DH notices and tells me no.

    Salt and vinegar Pringles are the best invention ever.  The people over there at Pringles must be geniuses.

    DO EET.

    J hates mint, so I'm safe.  I don't eat a whole lot of Oreos regularly and he gave me a look and asked, "You bought a whole box? Did you just want to throw them in the trash now?"  Smart ass.  It's not like I can buy a half a box!

    I think he's probably serious.  You catch more flies with honey and all of that, right?  People are more likely to want to help someone who is friendly than someone who is grumbling or looking angry.  Your life is better if you can smile and have a good attitude, even if you're unemployed.
