It&#8217;s still cheaper than what the theatre charges, and you&#8217;re making a nice profit since Target charges $1. They also are selling a pack of four boxes of candy for $2.79 which is the price of 1 box at the theater.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m reading this book called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0375414053\/qid=1059359107\/sr=2-1\/ref=sr_2_1\/102-1685849-2334567\" target=\"_top\"><i>I Don&#8217;t Know How She Does It<\/i><\/a> by Allison Pearson and it&#8217;s really good. Funny too. Reminds me a lot of <i>Bridget Jones&#8217; Diary<\/i> as the main character is British and writes in a similar format as Bridget Jones did, even though it is not a diary. I grabbed it off the library shelf without even skimming the back because I was tired of browsing but wanted something. What a lucky find. In fact, I think I shall go curl up on the couch with it until bedtime.<\/p>\n<p>Hope your weekend was as nice as mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my mind, in no particular order &#8230; Is it bad that I really want to buy a low-cost 2 or 3 megapixel digital camera to carry around at all times?
