Hey, guess what. No, really—go on and guess!

I backed everything up yesterday when my hosting company’s server came back online. Every last speck. And do you know why that’s good? Because they’re gone again today! *POOF* This weekend’s server migration cannot come soon enough. I mean, I wasn’t going to do it today because I didn’t want to interrupt my Friday traffic, but I guess TODAY IT IS!

In the meantime, if you’re not already a regular patron of the Amazon Friday Sale, allow me to introduce you to my very favorite part of the week. It will be magical. Bunnies will nestle at your feet and bluebirds will serenade you with gentle songs of thanksgiving. Also, we will likely uncover some killer deals, and as we all know, that’s good for what ails you. Shall we begin?

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.

The gracious and oh-so-pretty Nataly has been smart and wonderful enough to suggest that I post some Want Not deals here while waiting for the crisis with my web hosting to be resolved. I’m game if you are, so here are a few finds for today (I may come back and add more later):

Today and tomorrow only (Wednesday and Thursday, November 7-8), Lands’ End is offering free shipping on every order. If, say, the elves sometimes leave your kids matching jammies on Christmas Eve? This might be a useful thing to know. Just sayin’.

For the month of November, get $25 off instantly when you spend $49+ on eligible ConAgra Foods at Amazon with coupon code CONAGRA1. You will be astounded at the breadth of grocery products that covers. (I’m personally not so interested in the Slim Jims, but hey—to each her own!)

Also at Amazon: Need a baby gift? The Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium is down to just $11.99. (Amazon’s original price is inflated—I doubt they ever sold it for $48—but the regular price is around $30, so it’s still a great deal.)

Through November 11th, take 50% off your gift certificate order at Restaurant.com with coupon code THANKS. This means you get a $25 dining certificate for a cool $5. Many participating restaurants release only a limited numbers of certificates each month, so the sooner you make your selections, the better. (Also: Dinner out on the cheap. What’s not to like??)

Get free shipping on your $75+ order at Sierra Trading Post by going through that there link. I think that one’s valid for the rest of November.

Many, many thanks to all of my readers who followed me over here while my sites are unavailable. I love you guys. Please visit the rest of Work It, Mom! while you’re here, too.
