So I was running around with my Honey today, who wouldn't tell me anywhere that we were going. We tried two book stores to find the book I needed for class but to no avail. I gave up and ordered it online. It'll be here Tuesday. Even though I paid for two day delivery, because it's Thursday today they won't deliver it on Saturday because I wasn't going to pay $71 and change extra to get it. The least they could do is deliver it Monday, but no, Tuesday it should, and better be here.
I turned in my homework, which was definitions, and did the quiz that I needed the book in order to do. I didn't do so well but we are able to take the quiz more than once. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you which ones you got wrong, so a couple that I was confused on I may have right and if I change my answers they'll be wrong.
I'd wait until I got the book, but we have to go week by week. Google and Wikipedia weren't much help either. I tried searching the terms used in the questions (yes, it was an open book quiz) and tried searching for more information in the online reading but couldn't find answers that coincided with the given choices. I plan to try again tomorrow since I was asleep and gone most of the day.
I didn't get out of bed until slightly after nine. I did get up to get the Little Lady out of bed and then went back to bed with all intentions of getting back up at 8, which gives me my extra hour of sleep. I couldn't seem to get up. I think the rain is starting to depress me. After all of our running around (book stores, quickie mart, lunch, grocery store, gas station) I took my contacts out and laid back down. Then I remembered I needed to order my book, so I went back and did that blind as a bat that I was. So I laid down and set the alarm for 4, which would be another hour. I didn't get up until 430, but at least it wasn't much later than that. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. This is all after having my daily cup of coffee and Dr. Pepper with my lunch! Caffiene still seems to knock me out instead of keeping me awake sometimes and that is the most caffiene I have had in a very long time.
My Honey bought me apples today at the grocery store and I have been craving apples for quite awhile now. I blame my former coworker (who I love) as she and I used to bring apples to work for our snacks when we got hungry in between lunch and time to go, or just for breakfast. I love apples, they are my favorite fruit of all the possible choices. She'd watch the phones while I would go and slice mine up - can't be munching on a whole apple when you have walk-in clients, it's just not a pleasant sight - and I'd make her calls hold while she was doing hers.
She just happened to mention apples to me a couple of days ago. She buys these apples called Pink Lady Apples and she is the only one I know of that has mentioned them to me. I don't know if there is another name for them at all. I have had Gala Apples, which we almost bought today, Granny Smith Apples, which I believe are for baking(?), and Golden Delicious Apples used to be my favorite. We used to have an apple tree when I was a kid, they'd get so perfectly ripe that they would have red veins inside them. I don't know what kind of apples they were.
I am glad Honey's parents have apple trees. That will definitely fulfill my need during the summer and fall, but during the winter we'll have to shuck out the money if I get a craving.
I'll never step into Barnes and Nobles again. Not because they didn't have my book, but because they didn't have computer stations like they do at Borders where I can go and look up my book and find out where it's at. You have to ask someone to do it for you, so I interrupted someone's work day and in 10 seconds she was able to tell me that they didn't have it. Not that they didn't have it in stock, they didn't have it in their system. I don't know if they are hooked up to a huge database for all Barnes and Noble stores or if they are on a system just for their store. I will guess their store since they didn't even have the option for me to put in an order, like Borders did.
I didn't order it from Borders/Amazon, either. I probably should have put it on my widget and ordered it through that. Would I get a percentage if I had done that? I don't know. If anyone out there has done so or knows it to be so, please comment, let me know.
I ordered it through the school's bookstore, praying I wouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg. I didn't. I got the price that Borders would have had for it, which is a good thing because when I had the books I needed for the next classes all set up in my cart, everything went up in price. Everything! I was so not happy. So I removed everything from the cart and I will figure something out for the next two books I need. I'll have to save up for them because I am not entirely sure of their cost. I shouldn't need any new software for the next two classes either.
Ok, well I'm done rambling like crazy about my day out. Laters!
