I can never have enough earphones! Partially because I lose them and partially because they sometimes get broken. Anyway, I found a free pair, and I thought I'd share it with you. I've gotten several free things from 1saleaday, so it's a legit site. No money required.

I know I haven't updated in a while...
Here's one of my favorite newsletters from which I often get excellent book recommendations and I sometimes get free book offers:
Other than that, I've just been working a lot lot lot!

CVS Day
Good job at CVS today:
one ruler
two bottles of face wash
one package of cow tails
one package of circus peanuts
two toblerone bars
total 65 cents! woot!
here's how we did it:
face wash was on sale for 1.94, i had two coupons for 2.00 off, so those were totally free.
there was a candy clearance, where the cowtails were 25¢, circus peanuts were 37¢, and toblerone bars were 32¢. That came to about $1.25, but I had a $1.00 extrabucks reward that printed when i scanned my card at the coupon center, so that all the candy together about 25¢.
finally, the ruler was on sale (3 for $1), but i just bought one, so it was 33¢.
Plus some tax and we are left with 65¢ total!
Good job!
I start at the used bookstore in an hour!

Out with the old
Well, friends, today marks my official departure from Barnes and Noble. After six years, it was a bittersweet ending. It was definitely a completely underwhelming ending. You know, I always imagined what I'd do on my last day: tell customers how I truly felt, tell some managers how the staff really sees them, knock over a stack of books... something rebellious! None of those things happened. My last day was just like any other day. I went in, smiled and worked, and left. Tomorrow, I begin a new chapter with a used bookstore. I am excited to learn about a different aspect of the book world!
Now, for the daily deals:
1. 1saleaday.com sent me a bookmark today. It is simple and plain, but it was free!
2. Today, July 11, was the 7-11 Store Birthday. So, Ash and I got free Slurpees!
3. Ashley totally kicked butt with couponing today. She found a bunch of printable coupons on the Target website and hooked us up! For a total of $2.04, we got two full size pillows, 20 ink pens, 4 sharpies, 2 rolls of tape on those little plastic dispensers (one green and one purple), two large bottles of coffeemate creamer, and a dish scrub brush. That was a total savings of $17.08!
4. McDonalds is having a sale on ice cream cones. They're just fifty cents each! So, after our big day of great deals, we stopped by and had a little treat!
Think of me tomorrow evening as I start on my new path!

book store
Well, it's back to work at the college bookstore again today. Not looking forward to it. I am also feeling a little bummed because of all the applications I sent out. (Fifty, remember?) As it turns out, some of them were scams. They looked legit on Craig's List--they had business names and locations listed, even, but the emails I had been getting back (I've gotten five so far) seemed a little strange. After some research, I determined that the emails were scams--the ones where they send you a check, and you're supposed to deposit it and send them some money, then after your check has cleared, your bank tells you that the check you deposited was fake. So, if anyone wants a check for $5,000, I have several coming to me pretty soon. :(
The fireworks were nice last night! We went to Grapevine Lake with my sister and her fiance, and we had a nice little time! The fireworks looked really neat over the water.

Swimmer's Ear
A throwback to my childhood today... My ear is full of water, and I am having a tough time getting it out. I have tried rubbing alcohol by itself, peroxide by itself, and my mom's special blend of vinegar-alcohol-water that used to always do the trick when I was a kid. None of these has worked. And, yes, I have tried laying on the ear to just let the water fall out. Needless to say, that has not worked either.
The first piece of good news, though, is that that's all the bad news! All the rest is good!
I applied for fifty jobs today. FIFTY! And I am at least qualified--if not over qualified--for all of them. School is going well. I'm making good grades so far! Also, yesterday was a big haul for yard saling. The first part of the day was not very successful, so that was frustrating. Just when we were feeling like we wanted to give up, we found an estate sale that had lots of weird and interesting jewelry--a box for two dollars. We bought that! Then, we found a sale with lots of t-shirts we liked, so we got a deal on those because we bought several of them. Then, on the way home, there was a sign that said "FREE" and had an arrow pointing down the road. We drove down, and there was a bunch of stuff sitting out by the curb. That was the biggest find of the day! I got a book, a candle, an iron (which we desperately needed, as all of our clothes look like elephant skin), and two extra awesome things: 1. a card table with a compass rose on top. It's really cool, and it kind of fits in with our world-travel-eclectic theme for the living room and dining room. 2. A SANTA SNUGGIE!!!!! Yeah, that's right. I can just sit back, wrap up in the red, white, black, and silver snuggie, and be in the holiday spirit. I know it's hotter than 100 degrees outside right now, and Christmas is probably not at the forefront of most minds, but I sure am excited about it!! Just wait until Christmas, everyone, because I am prepared.
Also, I got a free bottle of Bayer aspirin in the mail yesterday. I can't remember where I got it from, and there was no return address, but I was happy about it! I love free stuff!
