Happiness is...
Getting a free book!
I never ever spend money on books because I have a great public library up the street where I can get FREE books. But since I am going on a little trip and I'm not that into the book I'm currently reading, I browsed at Stop and Shop's book isle where I saw that Anita Shreve, one of my favorite authors, has a new book out! And it was on sale.. 18.99...which is more than I wanted to spend, but it was payday and I said what the heck..
Anway, as I was self-checking out, my book ran up for 27.99...I looked around while holding up the book and grabbed the first person I could find in a green shirt. "This is supposed to be on sale" said I... He went and got the little yellow sign and told me that I would get it for free because it ran up wrong! It's the little things in life that make you smile! (or am I just cheap?)
