Borders

I was so sad to learn the Borders bookstore near our house is closing. I love that store. I love to go by myself, pick out some books, grab a magazine and drink a coffee. I find it my place of solitude many of Saturdays. Is that sad? Well maybe. But we love books so much. Hudson loves to read. He loves for you to read to him and he really loves to "read" to you.

Tonight we went to dinner and headed over to Borders. Everything in the store is marked at least 20-40% off. They also have a lot of stuff on a $1 aisle. Going with a little one may not have been the best idea. At one point he had 5 books in his hand and was getting furious because he kept reaching for a 6th but would drop all of his other books. I knew we had a little window to shop and I spent my time in the children's section. I could have spent so much more money. Can a little boy ever have enough books? Hudson got some great books at a great price and Jonathan even got a few. I hope to go back this weekend to get some more for Hudson and a few for myself. And maybe they will have marked the prices even more.

Afterwards, we ran by Rite Aid to grab a few quick things. When I walked in I saw all the Valentines candy marked down. I really should be ashamed to show you this but I will anyways.


Now if you will excuse me, I am off to my candy anonymous meeting.
