There’s nothing quite like a hot date on a Thursday night. Yes. So why not bop on over to your local Sonic tonight (June 7th, 2007) between 8:00 and midnight, and have a free rootbeer float?

Okay, I guess it’s not really “hot date” material, but it is a free float. Mmmmm… rootbeer float….

(I prefer the cherry crack limeade, actually, but as I won’t have a local Sonic until I move in a few weeks, it’s sort of a moot point. Go have a float on my behalf, willya?) (Thanks to everyone who sent this in. Y’all are a thirsty bunch.)

It’s time for a sale at Eastern Mountain Sports, for dads and grads who are mad or sad or glad, and people named Brad.

Maybe not for Brad. Poor Brad! Don’t be sad, Brad! That’d be bad!

Whatever; if they want to have a sale, who are we to argue? And they’re offering all sorts of goodies in there, like free shipping on your entire order if you buy a pair of Keens, or Crocs Aspens on a Buy One Pair, Get One Pair Free special.

Maybe there’s even something there for you. Wouldn’t that be rad?

Lovely Stephanie (um, are you going by Stephanie C now, so that we can tell you apart from the other Stephanies? So confusing) emailed to remind me that BookCloseouts.com is having their big June sale right now. They’re also having a Journal and Photo Album Blowout event.

Go forth and read!

Pretty Brigitte emailed to remind me that the LL Bean Summer Sale is going on right now.

Don’t forget to use coupon code 2344580 for free shipping on your order, or if you have a Bean Visa shipping is always free.

I cannot tell you how much I love this place. My children have backpacks from there which are several years old and have a malfunctioning handle design (easy to pull up, hard to put down). I called in to ask some questions about the recent redesign and the customer service rep pointed out that I could exchange the bags basically free of charge. After years of use. You will not regret buying anything from Bean, but especially the book packs are a worthy investment!

Love them.

The ever-lovely Chris pointed out to me today that Kids Surplus (a great place to find brand-name overstocks for the kids) has an entire maternity section just chock-full of good deals. Many of them ship for free, too (otherwise shipping is $7.95 for your entire order).

I spy with my little eye… some cheap maternity swimsuits, discount Bravado stuff, and more. Waddle on over and check it out. (Sorry. You’re not waddling. You’re totally glowing.)
