We Are Open!

[glacier_kitty]

This past two weeks of moving/shelving/arranging shelves at the bookstore has not been easy on anyone. We only had TWO days to get as many books as possible on the shelves..many of the boxes are a mix of genres, which slows us down some. When volunteers would come in Vicki would say "welcome to hell!" I asked Bill if he was dying inside when he sighed and he said "I'm already dead" lol. So many things could have gone better, but now it's just best to move forward. There's still a LOT of work to do, but we still opened today. I was greeted by the smell of whatever Lucie used to clean the floor with, which smelled fresh and nice, perfect for a new start! Lucie insisted on being the first customer LOL

Yeah, it is definitely weird checking customers out in the kitchen haha! (The building was some food bank program.) Shelby must have taken time off, because she looked refreshed and cheerful. Many regular customers came in today and said the new place looked great (even with semi-empty shelves, which they undertstood), yay! It was nice doing my "regular" job again haha

Here's a pic of part of the store:

Dad's been driving me, but we took the bus one day together and it gets to the bookstore very quickly! I'll have a longer ride going back home, but that's what books are for. :P We'll do an "official" grand opening in June, I think. Hopefully things will run smoother now lol

Curti is definitely part dog..dad said he went down to the lake, got a stick, and brought it in the house haha! Yesterday he got one of his toys and jumped up on my lap with it. I just find that SO cute, awww <3


24. Your most embarrassing moment: Hmm..I've definitely had a few. One time was when I was waiting in the lobby of the doctor's office and dad brought me some food. He sat down and said something like "so you're sitting here with all these sickies?" and everyone in our general vicinity (that's such a cool word LOL) looked up at us. I wouldn't have minded if the floor had swallowed me up at that moment, I was horrified and embarrassed. One time at middle school I accidentally closed someone else's locker instead of mine, and they gave me such a dirty look. In high school I was on my period and my stomach felt awful, and had diarrhea in the middle of a test! These are things you never forget and think about when you can't sleep LOL

25. How you met your best friend: I met Dana on a survey community here in 2005 I think. Her LJ tag said something about Texas, and I commented that I lived in Texas, and then added each other as friends. I can't believe 20 years has passed already!! I met Vicki when she was hired at work. Both of them are amazing, supportive, caring and many other things and I wouldn't want to be without their friendship!

26. Three things you want in a relationship: Understanding of my asexualness lol, humor, kindness

27. Your favorite day of the week: Friday..it feels so significant, even if I have to work on Saturday..I might order a pizza to celebrate lol

28. Would you ever get rid of your television? I actually don't have a TV because I didn't use it anymore, so yes lol..I just stream it online :P

29. What would you ask your pet if it could talk? "How did you feel when you were placed in my arms for the first time?" He must have trusted me, because he was shaking and very scared, but after a few minutes he relaxed and started purring! It would be cool for him to say what made him decide to choose me hehe
