It was called "Back to Books." It was a great bookstore and it had the best free promo pencils ever. I LOVED their pencils! I'm always sad when indie bookstores go under because they have so much more then chain book stores. They are spunky and groovy. The people that work there start to get to know you as a person, not just a consumer. It's the little details like these that make life in bookville strong and mighty. But, sadly there will always be chain bookstores to take them down.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5649782152085976611-1312223566417163649?l=maryviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558370837506992713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649782152085976611.post-48882681191608765432010-02-14T21:19:00.000-08:002010-02-14T21:19:33.571-08:00To be totally frank with you, I hate Valentine's day.The one thing that I don't understand though is why there has to be a certain day of the year to celebrate love. Wouldn't it mean more if the person that your with just gave you flowers or something on a Thursday? People get so caught up and serious about Valentine's day. It's like if the person that your with forgets or doesn't give you want you wanted the relationship is doomed. I got gifts and cards from my family but, to a lot of people that's not enough. Valentine's day should be about grand gestures and romance...says who? Who decided what you can and can't do on this day. Who decided that if your single you have to either jealous or wishing for a fast forward button.(I'm a single girl by the way.) It's not fair really.<br /><br />So, Happy Valentine's day to everyone even if you don't understand this day at all.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5649782152085976611-4888268119160876543?l=maryviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558370837506992713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649782152085976611.post-14446430610473166892010-02-13T18:53:00.000-08:002010-02-13T18:53:28.608-08:00To start out this blog I'm going to ask a question that I have about relationships.<br /><br /><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">Do you find the guy that your really looking for or, do you settle for the guy who likes you but, you might not like him the same way.</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5649782152085976611-1444643061047316689?l=maryviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558370837506992713noreply@blogger.com0
