glacier_kittyNow I know why the bookstore has been CRAZY busy the last couple of days: someone in the Fairbanks Facebook group posted a couple pics of the bookstore and said this: "Shout-out to Forget-Me-Not Books!! Staff extremely polite/helpful and serve a huge purpose to our community. Great place for used books which supports the Literacy Council of Alaska." 87 people liked/loved the post. Awww, that is so cool!! Everyone's hard work (that we enjoy!) is definitely paying off. This morning a kid ran up to the door, and when I unlocked it and let him in he was like "yay, I love this bookstore!!" I'm glad the atmosphere is fun again <3 (everyone probably has Spring Fever since the weather has gotten warmer too lol)
For the first time in a long time, my doctor got my glasses prescription right on the FIRST try! They're not *perfect,* but he said they wouldn't be because my prescription is so complicated. When I take them off, my eyes get really confused haha, it's a weird feeling! (The prisms help my right eye, which has strabimus, point in the right direction.) It's nice when I don't have to keep going back to the doctor lol
Here are the songs I've picked up on Shazam since I last updated in October:
"Lose Control"-Teddy Swims
"Twilight Zone"-Golden Earring
"Behind Blue Eyes"-The Who (sometimes I just want a fast way to look at the lyrics)
"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"-The Animals
"War Pigs"-Black Sabbath
"Motorcycle"-Colter Wall
"Wobble"-Flo Rida
"Despacito"-Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee. THIS was the song that was crazy popular a few years ago?? Not what I expected haha
"A Hundred and Sixty Acres"-Marty Robins
"I Second That Emotion"-Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
"Ain't That a Kick in the Head"-Dean Martin
"Come a Little Bit Closer"-Jay & the Americans
"Money for Nothing"-Dire Straits
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"-The Beatles
"White Rabbit"-Jefferson Airplane (one of the songs featured at that book trivia event. I heard it the next day, I think)
"Never Going Back Again"-Fleetwood Mac
"Blaze of Glory"-Bon Jovi (probably wanted a fast way to read the lyrics or didn't recognize it at first)
"The Stroke"-Billy Squier. After reading those lyrics, it's obvious what that song is about LOL
"(Don't Fear) the Reaper"-Blue Oyster Cult. Sometimes I don't recognize the song at first when played live..has a different sound or something
"Am I Okay?"-Megan Moroney
"I Drink Alone"-George Thorogood & the Destroyers
"Soul Kitchen"-The Doors
Being in pain after getting a tooth extracted, cleaning my apartment for an annual inspection, still having to worry about cold weather
