Afterwards, I headed over to the fabric store to browse without a bored husband following behind me. And then, the highlight of my evening: I headed next door to the bookstore.
Ahh, sweet books, the ambrosia of life!
It's been far too long since I've spent a healthy dose of time wandering aisles of books, smelling sweet book smells, savoring words and titles and book cover images--all while drinking coffee.
The whole reason behind going to the bookstore was to familiarize myself with some titles for the interview that I have in 2 hours! I'm a little nervous. Can you tell? I want to tell you all about the place I am hoping to get hired at, but.......... I don't want to jinx myself. All I can say is that I'll still be poor, but I believe it is a place that will make me very, very happy. It involves books and little people, and a little purple door. But there, I think I've already said too much.
Anyway, at the bookstore I found something that I've been wanting to read it since I first heard about it. There it was sitting on the top shelf, beckoning to me. I quickly reached up high, grabbed it and went to find a quiet bench to sit down and read. Maybe I'll write more about it later, but for now I can only suggest that you spend some time with this one:
It nearly brought me to tears.
I am in love with books again. I want to drown in them. I want to live in books forever.
My night out was good. And, today, I don't even have a hangover. Perfect.

Good luck, good luck, good luck. (And I think I might know what the job is. Then again, I might not.)
I'm so excited for you...keeping my fingers crossed as well:) I just know they'll love you...but not as much as I do! Heehee...
I'll write to you soon.
love,
td
Good luck!
Good luck! Little people and books...hmmm...sounds like we might have similar jobs. :) I hope your pants work magic, but I think your own color will do it all. You and Amber and I should go out for lunch/coffee/tea/books sometimes soon.
first, GOOD LUCK. i know you'll kick ass, i know it.
second, for some reason i think you've mentioned this, or i've read this somewhere, but have you thought of writing children's books? something in how you described "books and little people and a purple door" that made me think of that. and i was just like, oooh, jessie would be phenomenal.at.that.
I hope the interview went well. I always think of bookstore browses as meditation - my breathing slows, heart calms, eyes soften. All the good stuff. :) Glad you got to enjoy.
falling in love with books again...this sounds like a lovely experience.
i hope the interview went really well!!!!
I am so excited for you...I wanna get together and talk books soon!
I owe you an email.
Good luck, good luck, good luck! Every appendage is crossed for you.
love the book suggestion-- thank you.
AND, loads of love and energy and positive vibe going to wrap you in a cloud of winning energy for your interview.
