Another long day

Yes, today was another long day so not much got done on MPM. I did spend some more time on my MMPM. Like any one else, I don't like to pay any more than necessary. In this case I am buying number of books and I am trying to figure out whether it will cost more to buy new books or used books. Some new books have free shipping, some don't. None of the used books is coming from the same place so all have some freight. If I take the time to research, I might be able to find two books from the same source. In some cases the used books with freight cost less than new books that are freight free. Also, if I don't buy enough new books (my budget will not allow me to buy all of the books new) the freight will not be free on the new books either. I have got several hours into this order already. That's way too much time.

Last week I said I would spend some time on the training call talking about the Earth Angel Program. Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make tomorrows training call. I will try to be on next weeks call.

Hi Tom,
We used a B&N gift certificate last week and have one to go; I stuck to fewer new books to save on freight. I found some great used books that were on my list, but they will have to await an expanded budget. ;-). Good luck deciding which books come home to you and which stay at the store. I love books and find it's never easy to leave the ones I want at the store. Realistically speaking, however, I do not have the space for a library that encompasses one full room, much as I love them!

Wishing you a fantastic week!
