Ever since i&#8217;ve gotten my Amazon Gift Certificate for using Jittery over there in the glaringly white box &#8211; I&#8217;ve been aaaaagonizing over what to get! I mean! the choices! Should I go for books? should I go for girly things? Should I just start randomly clicking? I could use a new organizer\/wallet, there&#8217;s half a million things I&#8217;d love to read, there&#8217;s 2.5 million things i *should* read &#8211; how best to spend my valuable certificate? tell me! how!<\/p>\n<p>I parused my wish list, I parused catagories, I went through and just randomly clicked, unclicked, sampled, and just. oh! the possibilities! *L*<\/p>\n<p>So today I *finally* made my order, and made sure I qualified for free shopping so I could tuck another book or two in there [shipping costs to Alaska are HORRIBLE! I&#8217;ll wait an extra week for it to get here rather then spend half my certificate on shipping&#8230;) I changed, I rearranged, i finally decided *grin*<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; sometime next week, or the week after [again, AK shipping. heh. see the saga of my signed Terry Goodkind &#8211; that was IN STATE shipping!] I shall be the proud owner of:<\/p>\n<p><b>2005 Writers Market (Writer&#8217;s Market)<\/b> &#8211; when asking the <a href=\"http:\/\/mizkit.com\/\">Famous Author Catie Murphy<\/a> [who happens to be a high school friend, eagerly awaiting the first of several published works to hit the shelves!] for how to get started tips, she said in no uncertain terms &#8211; GET THIS and Read it &#8211; it will help you tremendously! So I did. First even! <\/p>\n<p><b>On Writing<\/b> Stephen King &#8211; I heart Steven King! I&#8217;ve wanted this since it came out years ago, but never had the fundage. So, since I had the opportunity, I went for the paperback [read: cheaper] version &#8211; yay!<\/p>\n<p><b>Hearts In Atlantis<\/b> Stephen King. From my wish list &#8211; because, as I mentioned, I heart Steven King! It&#8217;s been AGES since I&#8217;ve gotten a new King story to devour. So direct from the wish list, here we go. *g*<\/p>\n<p><b>Undead and Unwed (Berkley Sensation)<\/b> Mary Janice Davidson &#8211; this, well, i had 6 bucks left as long as I kept to the free shipping selections and so on a whim I looked up Vampires &#8211; and found this. *chuckles* i read the first couple pages in the &#8220;see inside&#8221; way, and well, it&#8217;s light, frivolous, fun! Just like me! [well, I&#8217;m not so light. *L*] So on the list it went.<\/p>\n<p>Total? I spent all but 44 cents of my certificate. Thanks Jittery!
