Nothing new still fighting this cold.. Had to go to stronger meds.. Today it seems to be braking up.  We were going to have lunch with relatives and decided it was to soon.  Hubby is back in for nap we had lunch i had left over wanton soup and he had watermelon.  Hay what floats your boat as well as we feel…  I bought lots of westerns and christian books over the weekend. So now I am not buying anything.  If you want to trade that is fine but do not bring me anything to buy.. I am broker than broke. LOL.  Need to save up to pay taxes and rent.  I have three copies of Waiting for Agnes then I don’t know when I will get more. This happens every summer.. I thought I had bought enough ahead… If I run out and you are interested in one let me know and I will make a list and let you know when I get more in or if I can’t will let you know that too..  

Bookstore I am stopping the special sales over the summer… As I will be in and out having other people take care while I take a weekend here and there. It will be in very capable hands… So feel free to trade good shape books nothing older than 1990 and must be smoke free… please… hardbacks are at the stores choice.. some we take some we don’t. No coffee table books please trying to sell what we have and make room for other things. We have lots of self help and cook books. a little bit of everything.

Feeling better been sick with terrible cold all week. Yesterday was my first day out. We tried a new sub place in our area.. Not bad.. Was a lot like the place that use to be there… I am going to the flea market this morning. I hope the rain has not caused big puddles and that there are no leaks in the roof.  Its already warm out so it might be a muggy day… I will be glad for my fan over my head and one in my area.. I am looking to get one more but it will have to wait awhile… Have a few bills to pay like rent is due in two weeks… May today be a good day..

I hope to keep going into next week with new energy and get some things put on ecrater that people have been waiting for..

What a week and its Wednesday… Been sick with a cold and I always have such a time with them… Starts with the throat.. Had soar throat for 4 days.. nothing seamed to help.. Then it moved to my head and chest..At this point it was Monday and I called doctor and got meds I had taken last year and worked so well.. They are working but I still feel lifeless… Hubby has been sick also so we have been doing it together… No one feels like doing anything…

On the bright side heard from an old customer from another town in Florida.. She was wondering what happened to my online store.. Well it was doing nothing so I took it down. I now have a store at the Flea Market in Lake City.  I am inside the building please tell your friends and if you are looking for something let me know. I will keep an eye out for it… if you are looking for an on line store I know of several  www.acread.ecrater.com  and someone I have ordered from many time… is beckisprout on www.eBay.com  she is in Anchorage,Alaska now your books don’t come as fast as they would in lower US. But the books look great the price is right and the service is excellent.

I will be at the Flea Market this weekend please come out and say hello..would love to meet you…

Remember I sell Local author Joe Bullards book “Waiting for Agnes” on line at www.ebay.com www.readerwave.ecrater.com www.amazon.com  check it out… I only have 5 left at this time.. so get yours now… They are telling me that a new book will be coming out in August.. I do not know the details as yet ..

Well have a good day and stay well summer is coming fast…

FRIDAY…

Friday, May 7th, 2010

The week has gone fast and slow… Three doctors visits… And the weekend promises to be strange with rain.. Hope its a no show like last weekend… LOL.. I have new book shelves to put in place and some new stuff to put on them… can’t wait to rearrange everything again… it will take me a couple of weeks most likely.. Its fixed in my head but that can change. I think I am going to change the historical romance and the mystery switch sides.. I seem to have more mystery customers and historical so maybe they need to see what i have so they walk in…I could be wrong we will see..

I am running out of Waiting for Agnes and my author is out of town. So looks like we will be taking these books off line when the last 5 are gone.

Monday

Another week… having company next week and allot of doctor visits this week… Will be very busy… My hubby is building me a shelf for my store.. I keep finding places to put them.. and thanks to a customer we have come up with a way to make the new one he is going to build for the center.  It was an idea a customer said I had wasted space at one end.. this can be attached to the other ones and will help them stand..I will not be buying books outright from anyone for now.. I have to many… I know I have ones that customers want and I can’t get to them.  When we come back in October from the fair I think I am going to move the mystery,suspense to the front and put historical in the back.  The next few months are going to be very hot so I am going to be taking it easy .. You will find me sitting under my the fan that is over my head.. I am so lucky. I am looking for a way to keep my head cool… My blood pressure goes up when I start getting red in the face… I need a hat that is an ice pack… LOL… can’t you see me with an old fashion ice pack and a ribbon around it and tied at my chin….  I like funny hats its an attention getter… My mother could wear just about anything…  I have so much hair that hats make me hotter so I try to wear something cool… Most of the time.. my knit hat has to go for the summer its holds in the heat… I am thinking of a straw hat and putting a removable towel band in side that I can take out and wash… I will work on that idea this week.. I have a towel that was going into hubby’s rag bin may be it won’t … I am going to stop putting added pressure on myself to get my shot glasses and dolls listed at eBay and ecrater as I think about it then I don’t do anything.. One day I will just start and I will contact you by this blog for a few days or weeks to let you know that its happening… I have been reading a little more lately… it relaxes me… I started picking up around the house as we have a new house cleaner coming this week … And she should be able to clean and not have to pick up things.  We are waiting on two pieces of furniture still.. one bed… and the cabinet for my sewing machine.

My blog is flip floppy I know… I have so much to say and so little time… I have a phone call to make for a friend to a relatives of hers.. about some surgery she is having and I have already had… I will do that first. Already called in meds… have to find out about my referrals for doctor… Then I think my phone calls will be done..well time to get started… see you all soon… Don’t forget Waiting for Agnes is still for sale for a little while I only have 6 left … Author is on vacation till further notice.   www.ebay.com www.amazon.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com

Today is going to be a busy day for me.. I don’t have allot of customers on Sundays but I do allot of clean up… Today will be no exception.. I received so many books yesterday.. Plus what I collected myself this week.. I have decided to take the nick nack things back home and make it all books… I have so many of some kinds like cookbooks they sell real well for me.. Then reference… So I am going to make another table of that kind of thing..  While writing this I have come up with a little idea of having little signs on kinds of book that I have … These will sit right on the table…

I brought all my Waiting for Agnes home from the flee market as I have not had a bite… I only have 8 left and author is on vacation till further notice… So don’t know what I will do when I run out.

I have been doing pretty good with my sales they could be better but with the prices am doing good…

Say a prayer for my niece and nephew who are in all that water in TN.. They can not get out of their Subdivision.
