I actually won! :O
For many months, I've been clicking away just about every day on Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes emails. It finally paid off, because today in one of the scratch-off games, I won. Granted, a $20 Amazon gift card isn't exactly millions, but I'll take it. :D
I just ordered three lovely items!
1. music CD of the Pirates of the Caribbean 4 soundtrack!! (MP3s would have been cheaper, but I always buy the actual CD of PotC soundtracks. Tradition! Also pretty pics in the booklet, I'm hoping.)
2. music CD by my favorite obscure rock band, 10 Years, titled "Feeding the Wolves". I had no idea they'd released a 4th album. *is a bad fan* I'll bet when I finally listen to it, I'll recognize at least a couple songs from the radio...before my rock station withered into talk radio and I was left with a shallow sort-of-rock station that completely lacks teeth, of course. :P~~~ Yes, I'm still irritated about that. Grmph.
3. a book! Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions, edited by Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr! This one has a double reason for me to pounce: a short story of Chloe and Derek from Ms. Armstrong's Darkest Powers series, and then a 2nd short story by my fave new-ish author Sarah Rees Brennan about Christian the reluctant vampire, who is stuck in a boy band as an advertising gimmick!!! *flails* I've wanted a sequel to the first installment in Eternal Kiss for two years!!!1!1one!!
I'm paying for standard shipping, because I have learned one thing very well, about buying from Amazon: NEVER USE THEIR FREE SHIPPING. You get what you pay for with that one. *snort* (I'd like to point out that B&N.com free shipping is fast and awesome. It's just Amazon that can't manage it.)
Kitty pics coming soooon!!!
