Yesterday was a good day. I got out and went to a yardsale where I got two Christmas boxes, two Christmas pictures, a reindeer lantern and a gold reindeer candle holder. I am goiong to paint the deer candle holder a different color, but not sure what color yet. But the entire haul was just $3.00. What a bargain.
I had to run into Target for a few things an I was walking by the nail polish and this caught my eye. Firs off, I am such a huge fan of Friends and still watch the reruns all the time. So that caught my eye and I had to check it out.
I love red nail polish and the name of this one is "He's her Lobster". If you ever watched Friends, that is the famous line Phoebe said about Rachel and Ross.
So I just had to have the polish and the new top coat as well. Sally Hansen is my favorite brand of nail polish and I was there to pick up some top coat anyway. So I figured I'd try the new Miracle Gel top coat. Going to try to do my nails this weekend to see how this all looks.
But the most exciting part of my day yesterday was when I got my favorite Thirty-One bag out of the closet. I loaded it down with nine books I had read and headed out to McKay's Used Book Store. McKay's takes your used books that are in good condition and gives you a store credit that you can then use to shop in the store. I didn't have many books to take back so my store credit was only $7.70 this time.
It is very hard to find an entire book series all at once. I had read a series about three families many years back about three families whose lives intertwined, the Kendricks, Coulters and Harrigans. There are twelve in the series but I do not read the one that is a flashback to the historical times of one of the families. So that meant I only have 11 to try to find. I was hoping to find at least 3 or 4 of the first ones so I can read them in chronological order. As I starting going down the list, I found one. Then another and another. And bottom line is I found every single one of them. That never happens. I was super excited. The original prices on the books totaled $83.40 for all of them. So I went up to the register and the McKay's used book cost was $16.00. Then I had that $7.70 for the ones I traded in. Bottom line I got my entire series for $8.31 which is just a tad more than one book goes for nowadays.
You just gotta love a bargain.
