glacier_kitty1. What was the last item you returned or exchanged at a store? Does donating books count?
2. When did you last leave the house and then turn right back around and go back inside? This morning, I forgot to put the apple juice I take to work in my bag
3. What’s the latest you’ve ever returned a library book? Not sure..
4. What location among places you’ve traveled would you most like to see again? Carcassonne, Valdez, etc
5. What’s an unlikely movie sequel you’d like to see? I'm sure there's one, but I can't think of it at the moment..
The good news is that Danae (the new Bookstore Manager) is very nice..she's from the village of Unalakleet, kind of near Nome..cool! She jumped right in, greeting customers, shelving, etc. I don't know if I could be that confident on a first day of doing something! The bad news is that Bill is getting laid off next week because our budget is "in the hole" and not great (the bookstore brings in a lot of money for the Literacy Council, and last summer's sale numbers were pretty awful..ouch). He's not upset though, he said he'll find another job (his one year anniversary was this week too, aww!). I'll miss him though, I love his dry sense of humor!
7. Is there any hurt or pain lingering in your heart right now? I think I'll always regret and feel hurt/guilty about losing a couple friends because of my actions (I was very controlling for some reason). They were really good friends and I hate that it ended badly. :( Years later I did apologize to one friend, who did forgive me, and was glad my life in Alaska was good, but I think I'll always carry some of that guilt with me..
8. What song(s) or tune(s) do you find yourself singing unconsciously? I'm usually conscious of it, but I LOVE singing "Do You Hear the People Sing?," especially after doing karaoke with my family haha. I also like to sing "Shout," the "in the pines" part of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?," etc
9. What do you miss the most about being young(er)? Being carefree with not many responsibilities, recovering faster from illnesses, bathing suits actually being comfortable (after living in Alaska, I feel SUPER exposed showing that much of me haha), etc
