Pet peeves

This is one of those things that bother me, but probably is hard to relate to. When I shop, I like to try to find the lowest possible price on that item. Doesn't really matter what it is, I just want to get the cheapest price.
Anyways, I purchased some hard to find books that was back ordered for a month. The retail price was $75 at Borders and I used one of their 30% coupon and even got free shipping. There was no way I could get a lower price. Anyways, after waiting awhile the book became available and shipped. I checked Amazon and ouch. They lowered the price by 40% and also offered free shipping. On top of that they don't charge sales tax.
I know it is not a big deal. Just a pet peeve, but I am happy I have the books.

Staying busy

Things have been busy for me. I haven't blogged as often as I would like. Trying to get my taxes done, move storage, and fix up the house has kept me busier than usual. Any free time I have I try to fit in a movie.

I have joined twitter and it seems OK. I follow a few people and some news outlets for breaking stories. I don't log into it everyday.
