So yesterday we mysteriously had no Internet, and then as the day wore on I realized that I should’ve wished that was the worst thing that would happen all day. Just… one of those days.

Anyway! A little retail therapy may not fix it all, but it’s a good start.

This weekend Lane Bryant is having a pre-Thanksgiving sale (uhhh… I guess it’s technically pre-Thanksgiving…) with 40% off everything when you use coupon code FALLROCKSLB.

This weekend at Express, take $15 off your $30+ purchase with coupon code 1818, or use code 1827 to take $30 off your $75+ order or $60 off your $150+ order.

Shopped Loft lately? All sale items will be an extra 50% off when you add them to your bag this weekend, or if you’re feeling rich, shop the full-price items and save 30% on them when you buy a full-price sweater and use code SWEATER30.

This weekend at Home Decorators Collection, all Outlet items (and some non-Outlet items) are 15% off and ship for free. I’ll try not to blather on about how much I love this place, but have I mentioned that I love this place? Because I do.

Today’s Gold Box deal at Amazon is your choice of men’s or ladies’ Stuhrling self-winding skeleton watches. They’re very, very pretty. I don’t need a watch, not really, but at half price I’m kind of hoping my husband reads the blog today. Ahem.

And here’s one I’m just throwing out there, in case anyone’s in the market—Amazon currently has the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 available for $240 shipped. For the unfamiliar, this is not a Lego set, not really—it’s a robotics kit, and it almost never goes on sale. Basically if you know what it is and what it costs and you have a kid jonesing for it, this is a decent price. If you don’t know what it is or why it’s a big deal, skip.

And now, I think I hear a second cup of coffee calling my name….
