So I left work last night and went to the used bookstore to pick up all of the books. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a bunch of the ones from my previous visit, but I found some others. Grand total: $15.80 from ebook minus $5.40 cost of the books = $10.40 profit. Put the order in this morning and will ship them out tomorrow. Not bad.
Then, as I was walking to the train (down a different road then I normally walk) I came across a closeout store. I stopped in on the off chance I could find something for DDs goody bags and boy did I. Adorable Christmas mugs with little stuffed animals inside (snowman, santa, reindeer, or bear) for $1.49 each. Couldn't pass that up, so I got 12 of them, along with some tissue paper to wrap them. There are 12 people coming to the party (including DD and DS). I know for a fact that 10 of them celebrate Christmas, and one celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah. There is one girl coming and I'm assuming she celebrates Christmas, but am not really sure. I asked DD and she didn't know. My plan is to give her either the snowman or bear, just in case, with an apology to her mother if necessary...so that took a load off my mind last night.
It's a slow day at work...the weather wasn't as bad as predicted, and the NY transit strike didn't happen (yet?), so it's a lot calmer than I expected. I'm picking up MIL for the party and she's sleeping over. Tomorrow, I have a much needed hair cut and color, DD has basketball, then hubby is taking his mom Christmas shopping, while the kids and I go to the grocery store to pick up stuff for our party Sunday. I guess sometime between now and then I should finalize the menu...
Great "goody bags"
