Cornered Office
with Mir Kamin
I'm a freelance writer and mother of two working from home, which theoretically means I can set my own schedule so as to best accommodate my family. In reality, "flexible hours" often equals "working too much." Yes, I'm my own boss; no, that doesn't mean life is easy. It's hard to leave the office when you live there. But I love what I do and feel very lucky. And not just because I get paid to work in my pajamas.

Why no, my sites aren’t actually functional yet, why do you ask? I hadn’t even noticed. *twitch*
Here’s a few deals for your Thursday morning, anyway:
Don’t forget that the LL Bean Tuesday Morning Markdown is now the Thursday Morning Markdown! (Got that?) They are currently offering free shipping on every order—no code needed—and today’s deal is the kids’ adventure jacket. This is a lighter weight Spring jacket, perfect for mild climates or to tuck away until April. Just $16 each (down from $39.50).
Need a gift for a sports nut? Today’s deal of the day at Best Deal Magazines is ESPN Magazine. 1 year (26 issues) is just $4.79, and you can take another 15% off of that with coupon code PXCJ1111.
The big holiday sale is already on at Barnes & Noble, with free shipping on orders of $25+. Through November 18th, 2007, you can also take 25% off the highest-priced item in your cart with coupon code H6T9C3U. And who doesn’t love a good book? No one with a soul, that’s who.
This is for everyone who came to Want Not and got in on the $20 Dale & Thomas gift card a little while back: Right now you can get a six-pack sampler for just $8 shipped! It’s true. Use your $20 gift card from the previous promotion, then apply coupon code E11X5S1T for free shipping (expires tomorrow, November 9th, 2007). You can set it up for future shipping, too, if you like. (Me, I give them out as teacher gifts. Or eat them at four in the morning when my web hosting is completely hosed. Either way.)
Eddie Bauer is having their Veteran’s Day sale through Monday, November 12th, 2007. (You know, Veteran’s Day—the day we celebrate our right to buy discounted down vests.)
I just think these water goblets are really pretty. And they’re half off! Those would be a really nice wedding gift. Or something pretty to pour your beer into when you’ve spent a week trying to rebuild your business. Whatever.

Thank you for our deal-fix this morning, pretty Mir!
Btw, does anyone know why the LLBean Adventure Jacket isn’t showing up in “Little Kids” sizes when it’s marked as being on sale as well? Is it sold out or am I missing something?
Thanks!

Just touching base to say Hi. I’m soooo sorry things have been so crappy for you.

Yay! I ordered Knight’s birthday present — he’s going to LOVE that ESPN magazine.
Thanks!

News alert — I just tried WouldaCoulda & I’m IN! You seem to be back in business!

Trying to get more people mad at your hosting provider. :/

O.M.G! Thank all that is good in the world that you’re still here. I was starting to panic, hitting refresh over and over and over and over (seriously, I couldn’t stop) on wantnot.net. I thought I was going to live a life without the Friday Amazon Sale and all things wonderful like free popcorn and razors (not to be used together).
OK, my day just got better.
