Sure, the weather’s cooling off (well, maybe for you—it’s going to be 85 here today!) and you’re maybe not thinking about things like outdoor furniture, but now is the time to buy such things, because they’re on sale. Big sale.

My folks have one of these hammock chairs and my children think it’s the greatest thing ever. This means I usually only get to relax in it for about 3 seconds at a time, but it’s a mighty comfy chair. And I’d say that even if it wasn’t 70% off, but that doesn’t hurt, y’know? $35.40 is as low as I’ve ever seen this. You might want to get one.

Though I’d recommend against inviting my kids over, if you do.

Goooooood morning! It’s a dreary day here in Georgia, but hopefully it’s sunny wherever you are.

But, hey, if it’s not? Why not go visit a museum? Today is Free Museum Day, thanks to the Smithsonian.

It’s friends and family day at Kohls! Everyone (card or no) can take 15% off their purchases with coupon code GET15NOW. Free shipping on orders of $75+, or use MVC2257 for free shipping for Kohls card holders.

Take 15% off your $50+ order at Domestications order this weekend, too. Just use coupon code D8JSAVAFF.

Have a grown-up dinosaur fan? Get the Jurassic Park Adventure Pack (three Jurassic Park movies!) (there was more than one?) for just $13.99 at Amazon today.

Or, if you’d like to check out some deals on used DVDs (and CDs), take 25% off your purchase at Second Spin this weekend with coupon code 25SEP8.

This weekend is the O-Mazing Sale at Overstock, with 15% off select home decor and 10% off bedding through that there link. Commence making your own O-jokes. I’m sure they won’t mind.

Check back later today for some goodies; I’m in a giving mood!

(You know, I think that sounded more festive and less awkward in my head….)

Sometimes I think that I should get a life and stop looking forward to the Amazon Friday Sale quite so much, but then I remember that the Friday Sale is awesome and I’m okay with it. Let’s see what goodies we have today….

This is a nice price for this Audiovox portable DVD player, though I can’t seem to find any reviews on it.

Raaaaawr! (I don’t know that I’d be brave enough to wear those in public. But with a sensible black suit or something? Killer.)

Now, you know I rarely pay even $20 for kids’ shoes, but for these I’d actually be tempted. So cute.

I never hopped on the gladiator sandal trend, but here you go, Spartacus.

Dyson! (Just in case you regret not snagging one on the cheap, last week. Sure, it’s a refurb, but for 61% off how can you argue?) If you want to go smaller (or purpler!), the refurb DC07 is half off, too.

Got allergies? Get hypoallergenic pillows.

Do you (or does someone you love) collect Spode? If so, this set of plates might pique your interest. (I really don’t know anything about Spode, other than that I suspect it’s made by magical Oompah Loompahs inside a volcano, based upon the regular prices….)

How about a KitchenAid mixer for under $150?

Apparently the Healthy Swinger is only half as dirty as it sounds—it’s exercise for lazy people. (Included: Swivel Disc! Woo!)

Get a salon quality tourmaline hair straightener for half price. I would totally get one, except it doesn’t some with someone to do the straightening for me. Sheesh.

Don’t forget about the Friday Five—I’m going to overlook the Miley Cyrus album being offered and focus instead on Louis Armstrong, Sigur Ross, and James Taylor.

Psssst! Extra bonus: Now that you have Prime (you do have Prime, right?), even if you’re not buying anything else, you’ll want to snag a couple of these Mega Blocks dragons for the gift closet. At 70% off, you can’t go wrong.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

Amazon has texted me once again; at 2:30 p.m. Eastern (about 5 minutes from now), Amazon will have Wii Fits in stock. Will I ever get my Fit? My hand’s ready and waiting on my mouse!

Just think—now that you’ve gone and gotten Prime, you’ll have it in a couple of days, if you snag one.

[Edited to add: Seriously, y’all. I think Amazon is just messing with me, now.]

Hey, I realize the Wii isn’t the only gaming system out there. Maybe you have an XBox or a PlayStation. Maybe you don’t know the joy of bowling in your family room. That doesn’t mean you should miss out on the good deals!

Here’s one for you, non-Wii-ers: Right now at Circuit City, select XBox and PS3 games come with a $20 gift card to be used on your next purchase. Not bad at all, if they have something you want and you tend to shop at CC, anyway.

I mean, I guess. You still can’t bowl in your family room, though. I’m sorry.
